There are many stone viaducts in Switzerland, but Landwasser viaduct near Filisur on the RhB is one of the more dramatic.

A general view of the engine room of the paddle steamer 'Waverley' showing, in addition to the engine cranks and crankshaft, the engineer's desk and the gauges for steam and vacuum together with the engine room telegraph.
Although there is terrific scenery to be seen on Waverley's trips, I can happily spend hours watching the engines as the various big ends and cranks whirl around, together with the motion of the reverser gears* as they controls the valves that control the passage of steam through the cylinders.
Also in the photo is Waverley's dolphin, complete with its 'Waverley' hat. Usually it rides on the reverser gear (which is at about 7 o'clock from the dolphin), but for some reason it was on the engineer's desk on this occasion.
I took this photo while the engine was running, and it's come out pretty well in view of the fact that it's not well lit and flash doesn't work well in this situation.
*With steam engines the reverser gear is also used to control the volume of steam admitted to the cylinders. This makes it possible to maximise the expansive property of the steam which leads to economy in the use of steam. This is particularly important with marine engines as there are few opportunities to replace the boiler water, so it's essential to use it as economically as possible.
Owned by the South Peace Centennial Museum, this is the oldest engine in our collection. Very few of this small, early model were produced. It came to Heisler AB in 1912 & to the Spirit River/Woking area in 1922 where it was used for threshing & to power a sawmill until the late 1930s. In 1964 it was purchased by Fred Tveter & Arnold Christianson who took it to Valhalla & restored it. In 1967 it moved to the McLean farm near Beaverlodge to form the basis of the first Pioneer Day which led to the establishment of the South Peace Centennial Museum. It was last used in 1998 as the 1999 testing confirmed the boiler unsafe for further operation. The engine is complete & authentic in all detail & the SPCM hopes to eventually raise the $55,000 needed to replace the boiler.
The museum occupies some fifteen acres of the Astley Green Colliery site. To the south lies the Bridgewater Canal and Astley Moss, an important mossland site. The low-lying landscape ensures that the museum's 98ft high lattice steel headgear can be seen for many miles, a fitting memorial to days now past.
Apart from the steam winding engine and headgear the museum houses many exhibits, not least of which is the collection of 28 colliery locomotives, the largest collection of its type in the United Kingdom.

True Lines Trains fumbled on this model. However a great testament to TLT was they did everything they could to satisfy their customers.
This is a rebuilt unit taken back and refurbished. My unit runs great pulls nice. Mostly a display model now.
A fine oscillatory steam engine ,spirit fired with safety valve , whistle and regulator valve. The boiler side plates appear to come from a Bowman model but the engine with its displacement lubricator and brass flywheel do not look like any commercial model I have seen.

The Avery Undermount Steam Engine is relatively rare. What sets it apart from the traditional steam engine is that all the working parts are mounted on a chassis below the boiler preventing stress to the boiler itself. In catalogs of the time the merits of this design as opposed to the traditional ones raged back and forth.
I like this design because it looks cool. It looks more like a steam locomotive than a farm implement. It’s just a cool design.
