This delightful chattering seabird is the Singapore's smallest resident tern. It has a beautiful, slender built, with a streamlined body, narrow, sharp-pointed wings and a deeply forked tail. During the breeding season, it sports a bright yellow bill with a small black tip, black eyes, and bright yellow-orange legs and feet.
After many years of admiring this beauty from afar, I had my chance to observe and photograph them at closer proximity when a group of them used the breakwater at Marina barrage as their staging point; where the adult birds made hunting sorties and returned frequently with food to feed their hungry growing young.
In order to minimize disturbance to their activities, a home-made hide was used to hide my presence. Lying prone and covered from head to toe with loose camouflage-print netting, I waited patiently for them to arrive. I was delighted when the group of Little Terns accepted me and continued their feeding activities.
Using my elbows as support, I handheld a Nikon 200-500mm to document my observations. One of my favourite photograph was this picture of an adult returning with a fish in its beak and calling for its young. It was soon mobbed by several juvenile terns but after some jostling, the fish was fed to its rightful young.
By the time the group of terns left the breakwater, it had been 2hours since I arrived. Bruised elbows and a sweaty aching body did not take away my sense of joy and appreciation of this unique opportunity to come close to these beauties in Nature.

Mercedes-Benz museum, Stuttgart, Deutschland.
So, today I’m advertising for Mercedes-Benz. Do they need it? No…But I thought it’d be fun! A lot could be said about this company and how important it has been in the automobile industry. The claimed invention of the automobile, the first omnibus, the first heavy-duty truck, the first diesel engine, the first vehicles fitted with ABS and ESP…
The famous Mercedes-Benz sign was adopted as early as 1909 and represents the 3 places where Daimler wanted to use his engines: earth, sea and air.
I think that the car in the foreground is the famous 1955 Mercedes-Benz W 196 R 2.5-liter streamlined. this car was already 290 HP and could go up to 190mph!!

Henry M. Flagler's Florida East Coast Railroad Line reached Palm Beach in 1894. The Seaboard Airline Railroad Line laid tracks to Palm Beach as late as 1921-1924. It was after 1921 that the Seaboard Airline tracks reached West Palm Beach. Reference to the Seaboard Airline Railroad Station appears in a book printed in 1926.
S. Davis Warfield was president of Seaboard Air Line and in 1924 Warfield built a cross-state line that serviced West Palm Beach and Miami and Homestead in 1926, making a direct rail connection from one coast to the other, across the state. In 1938 the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Airline Railroad Line formed a network over Florida. Trains were air-conditioned and streamlined, and power was generated by Diesel-electric locomotives.
Stockholders in the railroad were important Palm Beach residents, and this station combined their taste in architecture, and their desire for service and convenience, for the community related to their vacation and retirement residences.
L. Phillips Clarke, who designed all of the Seaboard Railroad stations, built his first station at Auburndale. The West Palm Beach station appeared in 1924-1925.
The north-south dimension, paralleling the tracks, is approximately 178 feet. It is 43 feet deep, not including (at the sides) a 13-foot platform on the west. The building is mainly one story high, with a single office on a two-story level near the center and a three-stage tower on the south corner of the east or entrance facade on Tamarind Avenue.
The plan is rectangular, divided essentially in half, with express room and baggage room to the left or south, and behind the loggia the two waiting rooms, now one, separated on the east by restrooms and on the west by the ticket office. The loggia surrounds most of the front and ends, and the shed—roofed passenger platform on the rear or trackside.
The City of West Palm Beach, following a purchase of the building in 1988, tapped local architecture firm Oliver Glidden & Partners to head a $4.3 million restoration of the structure. The project was completed and the station rededicated in a ceremony attended by the Florida Governor in April 1991. Architect Robert D. Brown directed the restoration of ornamental cast stone elements, exterior masonry, doors, windows, and iron and tile work. The red clay tile roof was replaced, as were the electrical, lighting, plumbing and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. Abatement of lead and asbestos was further required to bring the historic structure up to modern building code standards. The restoration effort earned the Florida Trust Award for Historic Preservation in 1994.
In summer 2012, the city finished an improvement project that included the installation of new sidewalks and more than five dozen trees around the building. The improvements were funded with a $750,000 Transportation Enhancement grant from the Federal Highway Administration, to which the city provided a $150,000 local match.
The station has two side platforms, with access to the station on both sides. West of the southbound platform is a long loop of bus bays serving Palm Tran routes. East of the northbound platform is the station house, a small parking lot, and bus stops for Greyhound Lines buses and Tri-Rail shuttles.

"Paulin became the leading French stylist of the time... Everything he touched was designed with aerodynamics in mind. He was very conscious of fuel efficiencies and the aerodynamic efficiencies that could be created by the lines of the car. You could go faster, which meant you could put a smaller engine in the car..." – Adatto, Richard, From Passion to Perfection: The Story of French Streamlined Styling, 1930-1939.
The 1930s was a period when automobile engineers and stylists first began to apply the principles of aerodynamics to passenger car design, a movement that would result in some of the most breathtaking works of automotive art that the world had ever seen. One stunning example of this trend was the exclusive series of streamlined roadsters, coupés and cabriolets styled by Georges Paulin and built by the French coachbuilder Marcel Pourtout for Émile Darl'Mat, whose Paris-based company was one of the world's largest Peugeot agencies. The Peugeot 302 chassis was used at first, fitted with the larger (2.0-litre, later 2.1-litre) four-cylinder overhead-valve engine of the 402. Introduced at the Paris Motor Show in 1936, the 302 lasted for only 18 months, though its short wheelbase chassis would live on in the 402 Légère.
Darl'Mat was a passionate champion of the Peugeot marque and longed for it to return to racing, particularly at prestigious home events like the 24 Heures du Mans. Using his considerable influence, he obtained the factory's blessing for a limited run of sports cars worthy of Peugeot's sporting legacy. He was one of a select few dealers able to offer custom coachwork to his customers, and Peugeot was more than happy to supply him with whatever he needed, so long as the orders kept rolling in.
Darl'Mat enjoyed a close relationship with Marcel Pourtout's successful carrosserie on the outskirts of Paris, and together the two men would create some of Peugeot's most memorable – and beautiful – automobiles. Marcel Pourtout had founded his coachbuilding business in 1925 and produced unremarkable designs at first, though that all changed when he was joined by Georges Paulin. A dentist by profession, Paulin understood aerodynamics and had impeccable taste. He worked for Panhard, Unic and Peugeot, for whom he designed the 1934 'Eclipse' featuring a retractable steel cabriolet roof, a construction he patented. In 1940 Paulin joined the French Resistance to fight the Nazi regime but was arrested and executed. He was posthumously awarded the Croix de Guerre and the Médaille de la Résistance by the French government.
Pourtout built around 105 of these streamlined cars for Darl'Mat between 1936 and 1939, and examples of the roadster ran competitively at Le Mans in 1937 and 1938. Demonstrating Paulin's conviction that a car did not necessarily need a large engine if it was effectively streamlined, three Darl'Mat Peugeots finished in the top ten in 1937, with the best placed example of Pujol/Contet coming home 7th overall, while the following year the Darl'Mat of de Cortanze/Contet finished 5th overall, winning the 2-Litre Class.
Many years later, while restoring the ex-Dorothy Patten and Baron Rainer von Dorndorf's Darl'Mat roadster, the vendor found this very sound Peugeot 402 Légère and realised that its chassis was identical to the roadster's. A tool-room copy of the roadster body was made and the result is the car offered here: a fitting homage to its designer, Georges Paulin.
Meticulously restored to the highest standard between 2017 and 2019, this superb car benefits from extra horsepower courtesy of a high-compression cylinder head and twin Solex carburetors mounted on a special Memini intake manifold. Power is transmitted via a Cotal electromagnetic gearbox to the Pilot wheels. Offered with restoration bills, French Carte Grise and Contrôle Technique, this pre-war icon is a pleasure to drive, a feast for the eyes, and ready for racing or any Concours d'Élégance.
Streamlined Breadvan.
The Woodie craze also invaded the Peugeot design office, which always kept an eye on American tastes. The inspiration for the Sochaux "rocket's" aerodynamic lines came from the Chrysler Airflow. The 202 was particularly well suited to this type of bodywork. A chic workhorse or an elegant cruiser ?

The "Streamlined Trains" were the oldest trams in service in Calcutta in 1987, dating from the late 'twenties and early 'thirties; basically a permanently-coupled traditional 4-wheel tram and trailer with somewhat rounded-off ends.
The Calcutta tram system has been shrinking for years, and the Birla Planetarium line was an early loss.
In the Soviet Union there were very skilled weapons engineers: Simonov, Tokarev, Degtyarev, Shpagin and Sudaev, just to say the leadings. They designed efficient weapons and streamlined the work processes to the maximum, allowing to the arsenals of Tula, Kovrov, Izhevsk and Podolsk an many others to produce the millions of weapons needed to arm the huge Red Army.
Mosin-Nagan M1891, tryokhlineynaya vintovka obraztsa 1891 goda
The rifle was the old Mosin Nagant which dated back to 1891 and which had been modernized in 1930 and 1938 making it shorter than the version of 1891. This was a solid and relatively simple weapon to produce, in 7.62x54 R caliber.The 1891/30 rifle was 1232 mm long and weighed 3.95 kg, the model 1891/38 musket was 1019 mm long and weighed 3.4 kg, originally it was not equipped with the bayonet, then during the war it was also issued.
SVT 40 Samozaryadnaya Vintovka Tokareva
The Soviet Union was one of the first nations to promote the adoption of a semi-automatic rifle for its army, and in 1936 the semi-automatic shotgun of Simonov, the AVS 36 was adopted. This weapon required lengthy machining processes, and the designer who wanted to keep the weapon as light as possible, lightened the components, causing a certain fragility of the same. Meanwhile, a new project by Tokarev, the SVT 38 semi-automatic rifles, was approved and put into production, then modified and improved in the SVT 40 version. The rifle was light, weighed 3.9 kg, had a good aim, and was often used by snipers. , the ammo of these weapon was the 7.62x54 R. The removable magazine contained 10 ammo, and it was possible to reload the weapon with a strip without having to remove the magazine. The rifle required a lot of care and cleaning, and in the meantime it was composed of numerous small parts, which made it difficult to dismantle and reassemble, and was therefore delivered mainly to the non-commissioned officers and to the private first class soldiers. The rifle allowed to regulate the gas intake, enabling to keep the speed of shooting constant according to the different standards of the ammunition used. About 150,000 SVT 38 and about 1,600,000 SVT 40 were produced.
PPD 40 Pistolet-Pulemyot Degtyaryova
After the Russo-Finnish war the red army impressed by the effectiveness of the Finnish sub-machine gun Suomi asked to the Soviet industry to design and produce a similar weapon. Thus was born the sud-machine gun PPD 40 designed by Degtyaryov, it had a wooden stock, it was a blow-back action weapon that fired with an open bolt and was capable of selective fire. It was chambered for the 7.62x25 Tokarev pistol cartrige, quite similar to the 7.63x25 Mauser. It weighed 3.2 kg unloaded, it was 788 mm long and the magazine could be the drum magazine that contained 71 projectiles, or the linear two-wire that contained 35 ammo. Before being replaced by the cheaper PPSh were built about 100,000 weapons.
PPSh Pistolet-Pulemyot Shpagin
The PPD required a very long and expensive turn and milling cycle. So engineer Shpagin designed the PPSh machine gun that used many metal stamping parts. The machine gun was designed for mass production, and most of its components could also be produced in small, under-equipped workshops. The PPSh was a rustic and effective weapon, weighed 3.9 kg unloaded, it was 843 mm long and used the 7.62x25 caliber ammunition, the magazine could be the drum magazine that contained 71 projectiles, or the linear two-wire that contained 35. More than 6 million specimens were produced, and were the most distributed weapon to the red army and to the Russian partisans who operated behind the lines of the axis forces. Germany also used for its army the captured PPShs, partly recalibrated in 9x19 parabellum and partly used with the original projectiles, or with the Mauser 7.63x25, which were a little less powerful than the original 7.62x25 Russians.
The PPS 42 Pistolet-Pulemyot Sudayeva, designed by a Russian officer was put into production by engineer Sudaev, it was a weapon with good characteristics that could be produced in 2.7 hours compared to 7.3 hours needed to produce a PPSh 41 and at 13.7 hours necessary to produce a PPD 40 SMG, furthermore it required the use of less ferrous material. Production began in 1942 during the siege of Leningrad, and were widely used in the defense of the city. The weapon used only a curved 35 round box which was not used with the PPSh.
During the war, about 2,000,000 PPS 42 were produced. This weapon was copied by the Finnish army and adopted as KP m / 44 (Konepistooli malli 1944) in 9x19 mm parabellum. The PPS 42 weighed 3 kg, was 907 mm long with the extendend stock and 615 mm with the folded stock, using the same 7.62x25 cartridge of the PPSh.
The DP 28 Pulemyot Degtyaryova Pekhotny, designed by Degtyaryov, the same engineer who designed the PPD sub-machine gun, was adopted by the Russian army in 1928, it was gas operating light machine gun, simple, cheap to build and very resistant to dirt. It was 1270 mm long, weighed 9.1 kg and was chambered in 7.62x54 R. The ammonition was stored in a 47-round circular rotating magazine attached to the top of the receiver. It has a rate of fire of 550 rpm. Its problem consisted in the time consuming operation of reloading the magazines. It was the main weapon of the Russian infantry's squads. About 800,000 copies were produced.
The PTRD ProtivoTankovoye Ruzhyo Degtyaryova was a single shot bolt-action antitank rifle that fired a 14.5x114 mm cartridge, it weighed 17.4 kg and was 2 meters long. With a tungsten ammonition it could pierce a 25 mm armor plate at the distance of 500 m. It was designed by Degtyaryov and produced in 470,000 specimens, each infantry platoon owned one. It was still used during the Korean and Vietnam war.
Here in the plate, there isn’t the RPD LMG because even then it was produced during the last stages of the WWII, it looks as if it hasn’t ever seen action in the fighting field. The RPD Ruchnoy Pulemyot Degtyaryova was designed in 1944 and distributed in small quantities at the end of the Second World War, after the war it became the LMG weapon of the infantry squad of the Red Army until 1960, when it was replaced by RPK Ruchnoy Pulemyot Kalashnikova . It weighed 6.6 kg and was 1037 mm long, it shot the 7.62x39 M1943 cartridge full metal jacket, the first Russian intermediate cartridge, the same that was then used by the Kalasnikov till the 1980 '
The Tokarev TT33, самозарядный пистолет Токарева образца 1930 года, was a short recoil operating, looked breech and single action semi-automatic pistol. The TT33 chambered the 7.62x25 Tokarev ammo, stored in a 8 rounds detachable magazine. It was a rugged and though weapon, quite free from jams. It served the red Army and the satellites state from 1933 till to 1956, and about 1.700.000 were produced. It was long 194 mm and its weight unloaded was of 0,85 Kg.
This green 1930's streamlined caboose was inspired by a very similar real-world Wabash caboose located on the Katy Rail-Trail at St. Charles, Missouri. The caboose model is also inspired build-wise by the Katy Caboose (as in, "The Caboose who got Loose" from the children's book) model I copied in late 2021 from TrainedBricks' MOC. The one shown is my own version of that caboose.
There are a number of similarities between the two caboose models. However, they are more different than alike for several reasons. For example, Katy has A LOT more SNOT-work compared to her newer cousin. Why, you ask? Katy's walls are all sideways to better represent planks of wood (typical in caboose construction up until early-1910's), whereas her opposite number has only SNOT in the base of the body / stairs and regular bricks everywhere else to represent more modern steel construction.
I was going to put MKT (standing for Missouri - Kansas - Texas Railroad, the same owner of Katy caboose, and from where she gets her name) on the sides of the new caboose where the printed brick is but in printed 1 x 1 tile letters, but the needed green 1 x 4 Technic bricks were problematic, as was the two letter T's that I don't have. Also, the doors to the inside open, but there are no interior details.

The original Minx was announced in October 1931 to a conservative design with a pressed-steel body on separate chassis and 30 bhp 1185 cc engine, It was upgraded with a four-speed transmission in 1934 and a styling upgrade, most noticeably a slightly V-shaped grille. For 1935 the range was similar except that synchromesh was added to all forward gears and this Minx became the first mass-produced car with an all synchromesh gearbox designed by by Captain John Samuel Irving The 1936 model had a new name, the Minx Magnificent, and a restyle with a much more rounded body. The chassis was stiffened and the engine moved forwards to give more passenger room. The rear panel, previously vertical, was now set at a sloping angle, and the manufacturers offered the option of a folding luggage grid attached to the rear panel
The Streamlined Saloon was available via the main dealerships priced at £ 245

A sight to warm the hearts of all AEC devotees as the Hull Daily Mail photographer recorded a phalanx of KHCT buses being used to carry out a weight test on the reconstructed Drypool Bridge before it was officially reopened to traffic in July 1961. The buses are all AEC Regents of varying vintage, all carrying Weymann bodywork and in the eye-catching Hull Corporation streamlined livery of azure and ivory. Present are a pair of KAT-registered AEC Regent IIIs of 1948 vintage, the first 8-ft wide buses in the fleet. Wedged in between is HAT252, a 1946 AEC Regent II, while at the right is a Regent delivered in 1942, whose original wartime utility bodywork was later replaced by an older body from a prewar Daimler. KHCT looked after its buses well and each bus here achieved a working life of 20 years.
Norfolk Southern operated N&W streamlined J-class steam locomotive # 611 close-in view of the lightweight roller bearing side rods and valve gear seen in Chattanooga, Tennessee, October 1989. Had never seen a photo such as this to detail the thin lightweight alloy side rods and valve gear components. The locomotive was assigned to operate a railfan excursion train, and this photo was taken a day prior to the trip while the locomotive was being prepared, maintained and serviced.
The collections of the Deutsches Technikmuseum in Berlin includes a variety of preserved U-Bahn, S-Bahn, tramway and motor coach vehicles. Streamlined bus, 1938, by G. Fritsche of Flöha, Saxonia, based on a frame, gearbox and engine of an Opel Blitz. Photos taken during the 2012 and 2014 open day at the reserve depot near the main museum.

I had some leftover green bricks from finding parts for my '59 Cadillac MOC, so I decided to use them and build a small model. This then snowballed into this 1930's streamlined caboose, which was inspired by a very similar real-world Wabash caboose located on the Katy Rail-Trail at St. Charles, Missouri. This caboose model is also inspired build-wise by the Katy Caboose (as in, "The Caboose who got Loose" from the children's book) model I copied in late 2021 from TrainedBricks' MOC.
The doors to the inside open, but there are no interior details. The yellow 1 x 4 bricks (actually supposed to be green) on the sides will have this print: www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3010pb119...

My Novel : Unforgettable'
(This book is Dedicated to the future artist.)
Synopsis
Kei Kitami, who is aiming for university, meets Kaori Uemura, an event companion who is 6 years older than her, on SNS.
Kaori's dream of coming to Tokyo is to become friends with a famous artist.
For that purpose, the radio station's producer, Ryo Osawa, was needed.
Osawa speaks to Kaori during a live radio broadcast.
"I have a wife and children. But I want to meet you."
Rika Sanjo, who is Kei's classmate and has feelings for him, has been looking into her girlfriend Kaori's movements. . . . .
Mitsushiro Nakagawa

Main story
There are two reasons why a person faces the sea.
One to enjoy a slice of shine in the sea like children bubbling over in the beach.
The other to brush the dust of memory like an old man who misses old days staring at the shine
quietly.
Those lead to only one meaning though they do not seem to overlap. It’s a rebirth.
I face myself to change tomorrow a vague day into something certain.
That is the meaning of a rebirth.
I had a very sweet girlfriend when I was 18.
After she left I knew the meaning of gentleness for the first time and also a true pain of loss. After
she left # how many times did I depend too much on her # doubt her # envy her and keep on telling lies
until I realized it is love?
I wonder whether a nobody like me could have given something to her who was struggling in the
daily life in those days. Giving something is arrogant conceit. It is nothing but self-satisfaction.
I had been thinking about such a thing.
However I guess what she saw in me was because I had nothing. That‘s why she tried to see
something in me. Perhaps she found a slight possibility in me # a guy filled with ambiguous unstable
tomorrow. But I wasted days depending too much on her gentleness.
Now I finally can convey how I felt in those days when we met.

About Japanese photographers. Japanese YouTube bar is Pistols.
8
The composition of the photograph is sensibility. Meet the designers in Milan. Two questions.

What is the time to point the camera? It is slow if you are looking into the viewfinder or display.
11
Family photos. I can not take pictures with others. The inside of the subject.
12
About YouTube 's photographer. Camera technology etc. Sensibility is polished by reading books.

Summary. I wrote a novel etc. What I want to tell the most.
_________________________________

I talked about how to make a work.
About work production 1/2
About work production 2/2
1 Photo exhibition up to that point. Did you want to go?
2 Well # what is an exhibition that you want to visit even if you go there?
3 Challenge to exhibit one work every month before opening a solo exhibition at the Harajuku Design Festa.
4 works are materials and silhouettes. Similar to fashion.
5 Who is your favorite artist? What is it? Make it clear.
6 Creating a collage is exactly the same as taking photos. As I wrote in the interview # it is the same as writing a novel.
7 I want to show it to someone # but I do not make a piece to show it. Aim for the work you want to decorate your own room as in the photo.
8 What is copycat? Nowadays # it is suspected to be beaten. There is something called Mimesis?

9 What is Individuality? What is originality?

My shutter feeling.
Today's photo.
It is a photo taken from Eurostar.
This video is an explanation.
I went to Milan in 2005.
At that time # I went from Milan to Venice.
We took Eurostar into the transportation.
This photo was not taken from a very fast Eurostar.
When I changed the track # I took a picture at the moment I slowed down.
Is there a Japanese beside you?
Please have my video translated.

あらすじ
大学を目指している北見ケイは、SNS上で、6歳年上のイベントコンパニオン、上村香織に出会う。
上京してきた香織の夢は、有名なアーティストの友達になるためだ。
そのためにはラジオ局のプロデューサー、大沢亮の存在が必要だった。
大沢は、ラジオの生放送中、香織へ語りかける。
「僕には妻子がある。しかし、僕は君に会いたいと思っている」
ケイの同級生で、彼を想っている三條里香は、香織の動向を探っていた。。。。。
本編
人が海へ向かう理由には、二つある。
ひとつは、波打ち際ではしゃぐ子供のように、今の瞬間の海の輝きを楽しむこと。
もうひとつは、その輝きを静かに見据えて、過ぎ去った日々を懐かしむ老人のように記憶の埃を払うこと。
二つは重なり合わないようではあるけれども、たったひとつの意味しか生まない。
再生だ。
明日っていう、曖昧な日を確実なものへと変えてゆくために、自分の存在に向き合う。
それが再生の意味だ。
十八歳だった僕には大切な人がいた。

Three model cars from the modern looking streamlined Peugeot 202 series. They are on display in classic car museum Visscher Classique, Buren.
The 202 was the smallest Peugeot in the second half of the 1930s. It was officially presented in March 1938. It shared more or less the body style of the streamlined 302. The 202 was distinguishable by just one horizontal ventilation opening at the side of the bonnet, and the one-piece windscreen.
In the early 1930s revolutionary aerodynamic theories were applied for the first time to mass produced cars. Avant-garde cars like 1934 Tatra 77 and the 1934 Chrysler Airflow gained a lot of positive attention. The 402 was Peugeot's answer to its direct competitor the streamlined 1934 Citroën TA.
The 02-series was developed by the Département Études Carrosseries, under supervision of Henri Thomas.
The Peugeot 02-series was also called Fuseau-Sochaux.
1133 cc L4 petrol engine.
Performance: 30 bhp.
C. 790 kg.
Production Peugeot 202: Jan. 1938-1942/1945-1949.
Seen in car museum Visscher Classique. It's a new car museum originated from a large car collection of director Henk Visscher, mixed with a lot of passion and ambition.
The collection focuses on the French brands that fall under the Stellantis group (formerly PSA).

It is a 29b Streamlined Bus with an officila Meccano factory paint sample label attached. Interestingly I don't think this colour scheme was actually used, hence the label has not been signed and date stamped as all the other similar samples I have seen.
Only 16 years previously, Gresley A4 streamlined Pacific locomotives sped past here, enjoying a final period of glory working the three-hour Glasgow-Aberdeen express trains. The location is Glamis, Angus on the former Caledonian Railway route between Stanley Junction and Kinnaber Junction. The last A4s were withdrawn in Summer 1966, and the 46-mile route was closed in September 1967. The towns of Coupar Angus and Forfar lost their passenger service; Glasgow-Aberdeen services were routed on the North British line via Dundee.
One track remains in situ here, as Coupar Angus and Forfar continued to be served for a while by a sparse freight service. This ended in 1982, soon after the date of this photograph.

The Chrysler Airflow was produced by the Chrysler Corporation from 1934-1937. The Airflow was the first full-size American production car to use streamlining.
The Airflow was a design classic but a commercial flop.
In Britain they were sold as the Chrysler Heston and were built at Kew near London.
The LMS Princess Coronation Class 6229 Duchess of Hamilton was built in 1938 at Crewe as the tenth member of its class and the last in the second batch of five red streamliners.
In 1939 no. 6229 swapped identities with the first of the class 6220 Coronation and was sent to North America with a specially-constructed Coronation Scot train to appear at the 1939 New York World's Fair.
The locomotive was shipped back from the States in 1942 after the outbreak of the Second World War, and the identities of the locomotives were swapped back in 1943.
6229 was painted wartime black livery in November 1944. Her streamlined casing was removed for maintenance-efficiency reasons in December 1947 and she was then given the LMS 1946 black livery.
In 1948 she passed into BR ownership. BR added 40000 to her number to become 46229 on 15 April 1948.
46229 was saved from the scrap yard along with classmate 6233 Duchess of Sutherland as a result of Sir Billy Butlin's efforts to place these locomotives as children's playground exhibits at his holiday camps. Duchess of Hamilton survived at Minehead Holiday Camp and it returned to steam on the main line under the auspices of the Friends of the National Railway Museum.
Credit and thanks to Wikipedia for the Duchess of Hamilton information.
Southern Pacific Daylight GS-4 class 4-8-4 Northern steam engine # 4449, painted for the American Freedom Train leads its consist over a railroad trestle as it enters Bradenton, Florida, December 1976. The locomotive is a Lima built, modern, powerful and fast oil burning 4-8-4, Northern, semi-streamlined locomotive. The AFT train operated to most parts of Florida for the purpose of providing a traveling showcase of American history for the Bicentennial. You can see the fireman leaning out the cab window as well as seeing a cab rider in the doorway behind him. Back in the baggage-tool car, located behind the tender, is a crew member leaning out the door.
The rider on this splendidly retro-styled streamliner E-bike designed it himself and raised many a smile when he rolled up at today’s Treasure Island classic car show. The show’s organisers were less amused.
Curved streamlined lines in "waterfall" abstractions were part of Art Deco design. This interior sconce light uses that concept of Deco design. Enjoy

The Art Deco-style Edina Cinema, opened in 1934, was designed by the architectural firm of Liebenberg and Kaplan, whose other theater designs included the Uptown, the Suburban World and the Varsity. The theater’s landmark vertical neon sign, twice damaged and twice rebuilt, has become a visual symbol for the entire area.
The Shape of Speed
Streamlined Automobiles and Motorcycles, 1930–1942
JUN 16 – SEP 16, 2018
Portland Art Museum
The Portland Art Museum is pleased to announce The Shape of Speed: Streamlined Automobiles and Motorcycles, 1930–1942, a special exhibition debuting at the Museum in Summer 2018. Featuring 19 rare streamlined automobiles and motorcycles, The Shape of Speed opens June 16 and will be on view through September 16, 2018.
The concept of streamlining has fascinated people for generations. Beginning in the 1930s and extending until the outbreak of the World War II, automotive designers embraced the challenge of styling and building truly streamlined cars that were fast and fuel-efficient. They were encouraged by the confluence of aircraft design with the sleek shapes of fast railroad locomotives; new advanced highways such as the Autobahns; and events like the 1939 New York City World’s Fair, which showcased futuristic design.
The Shape of Speed presents a select group of rare automobiles and motorcycles that demonstrate how auto designers translated the concept of aerodynamic efficiency into exciting machines that in many cases, looked as though they were moving while at rest.
The Museum will display 17 cars and two motorcycles—the best of that era’s streamlined offerings—from Europe and the United States. Engineering drawings and period photographs will show some of the aircraft, railroad, ship and yacht designs that influenced the automakers.
Featured designers and engineers include European streamlining pioneer Paul Jaray, along with Richard Buckminster Fuller, Norman Bel Geddes, Raymond Loewy, Harley J. Earl, Hermann Ahrens, Georges Paulin, Joseph Figoni, Dr. Wunibald Kamm, Otto Kuhler, Jean Bugatti, Hans Ledwinka, Gordon Buehrig, and others.
In 1939, as part of the New York World's Fair, the London Midland & Scottish Railway undertook the mammoth task of releasing one of their streamlined locomotives and matching train sets and shipping them across the Atlantic for display as part of the Transportation exhibits in New York. This was not the first time the LMSR had shown such panache as in 1933 they had sent the Royal Scot train to the United States on a tour.
The locomotive seen 'here' and that was displayed at the Fair following a journey around the US was badged up as 6220 'Coronation' and carried the streamlined crimson livery; it was in fact locomotive 6229 Duchess of Hamilton disguised and the original 6220, one of the first five of the larger class, originally carried the streamlined 'Caledonian Blue' livery. The whole Fair was overshadowed by the outbreak of war in 1939 and the train was effectively stranded in the US. The locomotive returned to the UK in 1942 and regained its original identity the following year. The carriages had to wait until 1946 until being repatriated.
The leaflet opens to describe the importance of the LMS and its services along with descriptions of the territory it served. There was a similar leaflet, printed in red, that was issued during the Exhibition in New York City.

A heavyweight cafe observation by Rivarossi makes up the last car on the westbound Grand Canyon Limited. Actually, the Santa Fe bought cafe observations to provide dining and lounge service for their shorter regional trains rather than their long transcontinental trains, but everybody seems to expect a "proper" passenger train to have an observation car.
Originally, long transcontinental passenger trains on the Santa Fe like the California Limited, The Chief, The Scout, The Ranger, and the Grand Canyon Limited had sleeper observations with a small observation lounge and open platform as their rear cars during the heavyweight era. The elite Chief got lightweight streamlined cars just before WWII, and wartime passenger demand caused railways to store or scrap most of their old tail cars and add more sleepers or coaches. The convenience of not having to remove special tail cars to add or drop off sleepers was another factor. After WWII, the Santa Fe used cafe observations on its Tulsa-Kansas City, Denver-La Junta, and Phoenix-Ash Fork trains that connected with the transcontinental trains.
But since I like observation cars and already had one in inventory, I run it. The real Grand Canyon Limited was an economy train that used a variety of heavyweight and lightweight cars handed down from the elite trains as late as the summer of 1967. Following the removal of Railway Post Office cars that fall, many passenger trains were cancelled or shrunken. Trains 23-24 lost their name and most of their cars, but what remained was all lightweight until Amtrak came on May Day 1971 to preserve a tiny remnant of passenger train service compared with a decade before.
If you look above and to the left of the passenger depot, you will see the front door of my apartment. The space beneath the front two feet of my layout and my front window is where I do my sit-ups, push-ups, and leg stretches.
This is an International Style building constructed in 1935 and considered by some to be in an Art Deco style. Some claim it to be the first major Modernist public building in Britain, although it was actually preceded by some months by the Dutch-influenced Hornsey Town Hall. It is located on the sea front in Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex.
It was the result of an architectural competition initiated by Herbrand Sackville, 9th Earl De La Warr, after whom the building was named. A committed socialist and Mayor of Bexhill, he persuaded the town council to develop the site as a public building. The competition for the design attracted more than 230 entrants and the winners, Eric Mendelsohn and Serge Chermayeff, were leading figures in the Modern Movement.
The aesthetics employed in the International Style proved especially suited to the building, tending towards streamlined, industrially-influenced designs, often with expansive metal-framed windows, and eschewing traditional brick and stonework in favour of concrete and steel construction. Amongst the building's most innovative features was its use of a welded steel frame construction, pioneered by structural engineer Felix Samuely. Construction began in January 1935 and the building was opened on 12 December of the same year by the Duke and Duchess of York (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth).
During WWII, the Pavilion was used by the military and amongst those who served there was noted comedian Gunner Spike Milligan.
In 1986 the Pavilion was granted Grade I listed Building status and in 1989 the Pavilion Trust was formed to protect and restore the building. In 2005, after an restoration and regeneration programme, the Pavilion reopened as a contemporary arts centre.

During the mid-1930s several of the UK's 'Big Four' railways experimented with and introduced both streamlined steam locomotives and train sets along with premium services operated by these trains. Although one drive of streamlining was with regard to speed of equal opportunity was the publicity value of such trains.
They allowed the LNER and the rival west coast LMSR to promote the railway as modern and at the front of technology. It's equally fair to say that in the cash-strapped era the railway's branch line and secondary stock and services were not quite so well treated to investment as their main line counterparts!
In the case of the LNER following the introduction of the "Silver Jubilee" in 1935 and "The Coronation" in 1937 the company decided that the important London - West Yorkshire route, connecting Kings Cross to the major cities of Leeds and Bradford, should also get the 'streamline' treatment.
For the service, that started on Monday 27 September 1937 the company constructed new train sets, similar to those for the Silver Jubilee, that comprised four twin articulated coaches with two kitchen cars and the trains were intended to be hauled by the LNER's A4 class locomotives. The train ran until the outbreak of war when it was suspended, the train sets placed into storage and not reinstituted until BR days in 1949.
The advertising and publicity was, as for the Silver Jubilee and Coronation, designed to be of equal 'opulance', appealling to the First Class market the LNER wanted to capture although Third Class was also included. A supplemntary fare, of 4/- in First and 2/6 in Third, was charged. The service was timed smartly, with a northbound 'down' service leaving Kings Cross at 1910 and arriving into Leeds at 2153, before reaching Bradford Exchange at 2215 - a quoted average speed of 68.4 mph.
The booklet, printed at the Baynard Press, is in the same style as the Silver Jubilee and Coronation but lacks a designer's name.

This locomotive is being prepared, maintained and serviced for its following day assignment to a railfan excursion train duties. The front cab window view from this locomotive does not provide that great a view, but you should be able to see the signals ahead.
