Locomotive Class C17, No.974 hauling the "Mary Valley Rattler" Train - Amamoor to Gympie, south east Queensland.
The Buckinghamshire Railway Centre is a 25 acre working Steam Museum with one of the UK's largest collections of locomotives, rolling stock and railway memorabilia. A re-created country station in the heyday of steam travel, offers steam train rides on certain days.
This is one of the fantasticly shiny nameplates on the mill engine at Leigh Spinners Mill, Leigh,Lancashire,UK.
The engine is a twin horizontal cross compound steam engine built by Yates & Thom millwrights of Blackburn and is currently undergoing a lengthy restoration project. Luckly the engine house is open to the public every saturday morning! Meaning this engineering marvel, one of if not the largest surviving engines of its type, is now viewable to everyone.
Photo taken at the 45th Annual Buckley Old Engine Show where the newly refurbished and restored little train made its debut this summer. This miniature steam-powered locomotive used to be at Clinch Park in downtown Traverse City. Two years ago, the Spirit of Traverse City was deeded to the Northwest Michigan Engine & Thresher Club, which started the annual Old Engine Show back in 1967. Since then, volunteers have completely restored the engine and cars from top to bottom and laid out a track, complete with an enclosed trestle.

Poetry in motion? When we had our ruby anniversary party at the steam museum we had this one and the cream engine with the huge flywheel working all evening. This beautiful piece of engineering from James Kay in Bury, with twin cylinders and a single flywheel, delivers a mighty 36 horsepower at 36rpm. Taken with my Nikon 1 J5.
Stationary boiler and Steam engine. Made in England in the 1950s.
Taken out of storage so the grandkids can see it working, and perhaps marvel over it too!
The boiler has a sight glass, adjustable overpressure relief valve and a miniature working pressure gauge.
The flywheel and pistons: two of these steam powered engines were used to raise and lower Tower Bridge
Isle of Wight Railway Company, one of the newer engines pulls into Havenstreet with 4 coaches of vintage stock.
The Hornsby Chain-Track Tractor is the ancestor of all "caterpillars". After some petroleum-powered prototypes, in 1909 a steam-powered unit was sold for work in the Yukon Territories, where oil was scare but coal and water abundant. The steam engine (Boiler and machine aggregate) was delivered by William Foster, of Lincoln. The track system and steering was created by David Roberts at Hornsby Co.
The Roberts patent rights were sold to the Holt Co in early 1914, which was in 1925 absorbed into the Caterpillar Co.
Today, only the chain tracks of the Hornsby Steam Crawler have survived.
There is a breathtaking live steam model of this tractor at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hvzBofFfzA which helped me a lot in figuring out the right proportions.
A Waterloo steam engine manufactured in Waterloo, Ontario. At the 54th annual Western Ontario Steam Threshers Reunion, held in Forest, Ontario on Aug 19-21. (The young lady is at the steering wheel !!)
Cockerill Steam engine, built 1826 for the 'Arkelse Dam' pumping station.
The engine is a double acting beam engine of the James Watt design: It features a separate condenser (not shown in this picture), the Watt linkage as well as a crankshaft (not pictured, located at the other end of the beam).
The picture shows an undistored view of the Watt linkage.
The engine ist currently on display at the Cruquius Museum, Holland.
On the occasion of the 51st Railway Week, Western Railway ran a Heritage Steam Train recreating the past. The heritage Steam Run took place on Sunday, when this special train hauled by Shehanshah, a steam engine, chugged to its journey from Mumbai Central to Borivli, puffing great clouds of nostalgia. The train's steam engine was the pride of the WP class of locomotive engines. The engine was built by Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadelphia, USA, in 1947.
