OKINAWA, Japan (Nov. 2, 2015) - Marines move a component of a 15-bay Improved Ribbon Bridge as a CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter inserts bridge components into the water in the Central Training Area during Blue Chromite 2016. This was the first time that Improved Ribbon Bridges, flat modular-floating platforms that bridge wet gaps, were inserted by air on Okinawa. Blue Chromite is a large-scale amphibious exercise that draws primarily from III Marine Expeditionary Force's training resources on Okinawa. The location of the training allows participating units to maintain a forward-deployed posture and eliminates the cost of traveling to train. The Marines are with 9th Engineer Support Battalion, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, III Marine Expeditionary Force. The Super Stallion is with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 462.

In 1931 Italian engineer Secondo Campini submitted a report on the potential of jet propulsion to the Regia Aeronautica, and the following year, demonstrated a jet-powered boat in Venice. In 1934, the Regia Aeronautica granted approval for the development of a jet aircraft to demonstrate the principle.
As designed by Campini, the aircraft did not have a jet engine in the sense that we know them today. Rather, a conventional 500 kW (670 hp) Isotta Fraschini L. 121/R.C. 40 piston engine was used to drive a compressor, which forced compressed air into a combustion chamber where it was mixed with fuel and ignited. The exhaust produced by this combustion was to drive the aircraft forward. Campini called this configuration a "thermojet," but the term "motorjet" is in common usage today since thermojet is now used to refer to a particular type of pulsejet (an unrelated form of jet engine). It has also been described as a ducted fan.[1]
The Italian aircraft designer Luigi Stipa (1900-1992) contended that his Stipa-Caproni experimental aircraft, a ducted-fan design of 1932, was the first aircraft to employ what he called an "intubed propeller" -- essentially the motorjet principle -- and that he therefore deserves the credit for the invention of the jet engine. The Caproni-Campini N.1 did employ many of the principles first tested in the Stipa-Caproni aircraft, albeit in a more advanced form.
The first dredging project of the year begins for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Buffalo District at Lorain Harbor in Lorain, Ohio, April 15, 2022. Dredging harbors like those in Lorain's ensures large vessels passage through the Great Lakes waterways as they deliver and receive cargo critcal the economy.

The 'engineer' in question was Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Seen here smoking one of his (up-to-forty-a-day) cigars outside the pub bar/restaurant.

iss071e650313 (Sept. 14, 2024) --- Expedition 71 Flight Engineer (from left) Don Pettit from NASA demonstrates filling a specially-made coffee cup from a drink bag to Expedition 71 Flight Engineer Alexey Ovchinin from Roscosmos. The coffee stays inside the cup due to surface tension, a property that enables liquids to resist an external force, such as microgravity, and adhere, or stick to a surface.
Members of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District staffed two booths at the 10th Annual Savannah Boat and Outdoor Show, March 2 – 4 at the Savannah International Trade and Convention Center. The show attracts thousands of current and would-be boat owners and outdoor enthusiasts with extensive displays of the latest in watercraft lines, marine equipment, accessories and services. The Savannah District booths featured kids coloring books and promotional items on water safety, maps and pamphlets about the Corps’ Savannah River Lakes, and dock permitting information. The event was a great way for the Corps to reach a specific target audience—boat owners and water recreation enthusiasts—to communicate key messages about water safety and stream/wetland permitting. Remember, always wear your life jacket when recreating in, on or near the water. Don’t leave land without it!
Maryland Army National Guard Soldiers from the 253rd Engineer Company (Sapper) hitched a ride with the New Hampshire Air Guard to Puerto Rico this year for annual training. Nearly 50 Citizen Soldiers from the La Plata, Md., based unit along with eight soldiers from Bosnia and Herzegovina flew to Camp Santiago Joint Maneuver Training Center July 13-27. While there, they trained side-by-side with the 1013th Engineer Company (Sapper) and the 232nd Dive Team from Puerto Rico. The Maryland and Puerto Rican Citizen Soldiers shared best practices, experiences, and lessons learned with each other during the two-week AT.

A team of engineers serving with the Kenyan Contingent of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) search a former police station in the southern Somali port city of Kismayo for improvised explosive devices (IEDs) 03 October 2012. The Al-Qaeda-affiliated extremist group Al Shabaab withdrew from the city on 02 October after AMISOM troops, Somali National Army (SNA) forces and the pro-government Ras Kimboni Brigade entered and captured Kismayo without a fight. During their security sweep, AMISOM engineers found one device planted in the perimeter wall next to the entrance, which was destroyed by a controlled explosion. AU-UN IST PHOTO / STUART PRICE.

For the second engineers, I headed back up to Woad Lane. If sun hadn't of been where it was in the sky I would have then gone back down to Great Coates station.
DBS Class 66, 66027, is seen on 26th April 2015, working 6T51 Immingham Reception Sidings to Doncaster Up Decoy through Woad Lane crossing (Grimsby & Immingham light railway).
Really hope to return for these next week, weather depending. Great thanks must go to 'LowdhamGPR' for giving for me advice on these workings!

After looking at the Nuremberg Toy Fair video, I decided to try and reverse engineer it.
I'm sure there are still some errors, but I will find out once the set instructions are available.
It is a fun little set. Because of the big wheels it can't steer very far, but this is compensated by the double steering.
