No. 17 is a little steam engine that travels a 4 mile track from Bonsal to New Hill, NC. Weekends every spring to fall, the little engine pulls cars packed with people who come to ride.

I bought in an antique store this small photo album. On the cover the word "Frenagraph" is impressed in beautiful cursive golden letters, It's a small album, about 12 by 12 cm square and contains about 20 photographs. Iv'e reproduced here three of the best ones. All photographs seem to be taken in Scotland at the turn of the century. Many pictures are plain landscapes with no interesting features. Curiously, my research has revealed nothing as to what "Frenagraphs" are as such and I assume now that Frena was probably the family name which ensued the word Frenagraphs for the reason that the photograhers of that name took the pictures. I could be wrong. No photographic process is known as Frenagraphs so it must be a name. If anyone can illuminate me on the origin of these I would be most appreciative.

Before electrification, the first two 'L' roads ran trains with wooden cars pulled by steam locomotives like this one here. These locomotives burned coal to heat water and create pressurized steam like any steam engine would, but were much smaller than what you might have seen in old movie footage of intercity railways. 'L' trains were light and the locomotives needed to be, too, so they could pick up speed and stop quickly, considering the close spacing of rapid transit stations.
The locomotive style is called a "Forney," after steam locomotive designer Matthias Forney, which could operate in either direction, helping to make it easier to attach a locomotive to the back side of a train at the end of a line, and change direction and run a reverse trip without having to turn a locomotive around.
The Lake Street 'L' actually named its locomotives in addition to numbering them. Seen here is #5, named "Lizzie A." (unfortunately, we're not sure who Lizzie was, but she probably was someone who had a relation to the 'L' company or someone else who did). The Lake Street 'L' ran steam locomotives until 1896, converting to electric power a little ahead of its slightly older peer serving the South Side, a separate company at the time.
The station in the background is Crawford, later renamed Pulaski.

The little HO scale steamer began as a N-scale 2-6-0 from Model Power. With 3D-printed pieces from Shapeways it is slowly turned into a beautiful little HOn30 narrow gauge locomotive.
A few more details are still missing along with more paint, decals, figures and weathering.

This wonderful image came to my attention in early November, 2016: I had never seen it before.
Considering that I have been collecting images of Winster for many years, I was delighted to "discover" it.
I hope there are many, many more images of Winster yet to be "discovered" which are able to find a place in this Flickr collection.
My thanks are due to Andy Wood who uploaded the image to Facebook's Old Matlock pics where I spotted it and who has kindly given me permission to display it here.
This 1881 traction engine was built by McLaren as a general purpose engine. I believe that her boiler was probably not certified by this time (1981) and in 1985 she was purchased by the Science Museum, who currently have her in store - available for professional research only. Not looking bad for her 100 years in this view at Hollycombe, Hampshire.
Tasker Little Giant class steam tractor 1424 built in 1910 for Garside's for hauling sand from their pits to the mainline railway connection in Leighton Buzzard. The damage to local roads caused by this method of export directly lead to the construction of the Leighton Buzzard narrow gauge railway.
The engine, now named Wil O' the Wisp, attended the Bluebell Railway's Road meets Rail event here stoping near the road making demonstration area.
Tower Bridge. This was one of two steam engines used to raise the bascules of the bridge before it was converted to electric power. It is now preserved in its original location in the Tower Bridge exhibition and open to the public.
