Raymond from Oldtimetrain website added this information:
"My research indicates it is S-1-f class 2-8-2 559 built MLW 53929 1913. Re#3464. Retired 1961."
Gauge 1 Lego model of 1813 locomotive. The loco has been redesigned several times during its long work life from 1813 to 1862. The model shows the last form, which is on display in the London Science Museum, and of which there is a detailed, working replica from 1906 in the Deutsches Museum, Munich.
JS 8173 backs down to the loading point with empties. Maybe one of the injector water valves has been left open or the fireman is about to put the injector on. Note the icicles on the tender. And the 'disordered' pipework on the loco's boiler. :-)

In the 'right' BR livery, class A1 no. 60163 'Tornado' powers past Waitby on the climb up to Ais Gill. Having left Carlisle late and then dropped a few more minutes, the loco was by now clawing back time, and was going significantly more quickly than 'British India Line' which had preceded it - maybe a by-now-dry rail helped. It was very noticeable how different the two three-cylinder machines sound.

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 quick grab with my phone during a brief visit to the shed. '8F' no. 48305 under Empress Road bridge before taking up its evening diner duty.
Great Central Railway.
NER Q6 Class - 0-8-0 No. 2238 was introduced by Wilson Worsdell the first T class 0-8-0 on the North Eastern Railway in 1901, but Vincent Raven carried on the development of the T1 when he designed the superheated outside cylinder class T2 0-8-0s for handling the heavy goods trains of the North Eastern Railway. A total of 120 engines were built at the NER’s Darlington Works between 1913 and 1918. An engine was produced that could be driven all out - full regulator and full forward gear – for indefinite periods at anything up to mineral train speeds. In 1915 examples of the class had undergone dynamometer trials on 700 ton trains between Newport and Shildon, putting up some impressive performances and comparing very favourably with the then newly introduced electric locomotives working that line.
The first train to Saline arrived on July 4, 1870, and the engine likely looked like this.
On June 29, 2019 Saline will celebrate the 4th of July at the Depot Museum

BR 'Standard' class 5 (note the 34E shedplate - it was once a Neaden engine) drifts through Rothley station on the Sunday luncheon train. The 'signalman's agent' holds up the single line staff for the Rothley-Leicester North section and James, the 'third man'/trainee fireman, is leaning out of the cab ready to receive it.

It has stopped snowing and we are back on shed. Anthony has raked the fire and partially filled the boiler, and is about to empty the ashpan - with a long rake after thoroughly wetting the contents; it's a lousy job - no hopper ashpan on this one. I am about to empty the smokebox: the barrow is ready at the side and I, on my way back to the engine with a bucket, have paused to take a quick pic - because, even though this freight loco is a bit of a rough old girl, she looks pretty nice standing there under the shed lights.

The main reason for our trip out to coal country Saturday was for a benefit pig roast/train excursion for R&N engineer Chris Bost, who has been fighting CDIP and has been unable to work because of it. The Reading and Northern and Project 113 worked together to make this great event, with proceeds from the tickets for a train ride from Minersville to Port Clinton and back and the pig roast after going to Chris' medical expenses. With a huge turn out, I hope this helped.
Anyway, just after noon, R&N CSBX departed Minersville and is seen here cutting through the mob of foam at Marlin (which I tried to keep outta the photo), seen here as CNJ 0-6-0 113 brings the train past a nice thunderbird parked on scene, which I believe belongs to a fellow railfan.

Well not a real storm but we had our work cut out on 'Standard 4' tank No 80080: seven coaches for 244 tons. No problem for our splendid loco but I did have to work her quite hard; nevertheless Johnny, my fireman, also a driver at the GCR, was well up to the task and there was water and steam aplenty.
Here we are in platform 1 at Loughborough with plenty of time before departure at 11.20. Shining brasswork courtesy of David, our cleaner, who came with us and fired the second trip. (BTW Johnny doesn't have nasty skin lesions on nose and cheek...)

This is a photograph Key Route Ken sent me. There is no information other than the photo. We are looking at the Mt. Tamalpais and Muir Woods Railway Shay 7, its full train and two more trains behind it. I assume this was taken at Mill City, CA.
Here is the Wikipedia opening paragraph of the article on the railroad: The Mount Tamalpais & Muir Woods Railway was a scenic tourist railway operating between Mill Valley and the east peak of Mount Tamalpais in Marin County, California, covering a distance of 8.19 miles, with a 2.88-mile spur line to the Muir Woods. The railroad was incorporated in January 1896, and closed in the summer of 1930. Originally planned as a 4 ft 8 1⁄2 in standard gauge electric trolley line, the railroad was powered by a succession of geared steam locomotives. Billed as the "Crookedest Railroad in the World," the line was renowned for its steep and serpentine route, winding through picturesque terrain to a mountaintop tavern providing first-class hospitality and panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay Area. Despite its popularity, the railway met its demise following a fire in 1929, and dwindling ridership when the automobile could finally drive to Tamalpais' summit. (Wikipedia)
