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!

Steam engine as used in the film 'Out of Africa'.

Bessemer and Lake Erie 2-10-4 steam locomotive number 643 located in McKees Rocks, PA. Manufactured in 1943.

 

The best I have been able to find out is that it was restored in the 1980s but has sat since then. Safety standards have changed so it would need to be re-restored.

 

The property owner would not let me on to the property to take better pictures so these were taken through the chain link fence. If there wasn't barbed wire, I might have jumped it.

 

This was the train we got a ride on :)

I believe this was taken at the Steam Power show near Sycamore, Illinois in the 1980's or 90's. Aultman-Taylor gas engine (L), unknown steamer (R)

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.

This must be some ancient steam-powered agricultural machine. It belongs in a museum I guess, but unfortunately there are very few museums of technology in Africa.

September 1992 in Illinois.

Steam, ice and clagg. This was one of the coldest days I experienced on the Jitong, where severe cold was normal during the winter. But it made for great steam effects, which is why we put up with the cold.

Another 120 enprint, this time featuring 'Castle' class No. 4088 "Dartmouth Castle" on an up passenger stopper at Ealing Broadway. A working like this could be a day excursion train for London or perhaps a running in turn after a visit to Swindon Works. It must be said though, judging by the heap of top quality coal on the tender, 4088 had not come very far.

Working most weekends means that I have limited access to operational steam these days, so when the rare opportunity arises with a steam engine operating locally on a day when I'm actually off, Something would be amiss for me not to go and see
