Sir Nigel Gresley's A4 Pacific locomotives built for the LNER - represented here by 4468 'Mallard' which is the world speed record holder for steam traction (126 mph) - make an interesting comparison with an LMS streamlined Coronation Pacific (6229 'Duchess of Hamilton') which was designed by William Stanier at around the same time.

Streamlined L&N 4-6-2 277 rests at the Evansville, Indiana roundhouse sometime in 1951.
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.

Streamlined art deco van. This design is a slightly modified version of Flickr user snaillad's van, which you can find in his photostream. I wanted to do a different colour and add a more rounded rear - and I think I achieved the last part quite nicely. First created in MLCad, then built with real bricks.
London transport streamlined STL experiment on STL857 later to become STF1. The body which was built by LT at Chiswick works had an full front with enclosed nearside, many drivers complained of more noise and poor visiblity on the nearside. It was later rebuilt to standard on the lower deck but the top deck remained as seen here with a steeper rake rearwards , this was in 1938 and the bus again became STL857, the body later becoming STL1167 which was withdrawn in 1950 and scrapped. In 1936 there was talk of a whole batch of simlar STF's being built.

I wonder if this building in London Street, Norwich, could be by the same architect as this house at Mildenhall.

They look like commercial and domestic variants of the same design. The fluted banding around the top is the same. The parapet railings are pleasing, and the building retains a complete set of metal-framed windows.

I think the painted DISCOUNT CARPET sign ought to be peeled off and donated to the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati. I do not trust the people of Leavenworth to know how to appreciate and enjoy the sign.
See how the narrow canopy extends onto the older building next door. Do you like that?
This was originally the B & G Motor Company, which is included in a self-published online list of former Edsel dealers. Would you rather have a discount carpet or an Edsel!
Isn't this picture beautifully composed. Nah I'm just kidding, I know it's not.

60009 Union of South Africa (LNER 4488). LNER streamlined Class A4 steam locomotive built in Doncaster in 1937. Locomotive currently owned by John Cameron. Coaches and tour operated by the Scottish Railway Preservation Society (SRPS). Taken from the A7 between Stow and Bowshank tunnel on the new Borders Railway.
This is my more-or-less compete boiler design that I've attached to my #500's chassis to get a feel for what the overall locomotive will look like. There's some tweaking left to do, but for the most part the boiler design won't look much different from the final product.

First here a story in Dutch. More below: a story in English. And humoristic comments.
3. CORRECT GEBRUIK VAN DE VUILNISBAK.
Als u de high tech inwerpzuil voor het eerst met die pas hebt opengekregen, merkt u meteen: de vuilniszak past er niet in. (Er zijn ook ruimer modellen inwerpzuilen - die worden niet zo vaak neergezet). Dan staat u - zoals iedereen deed - te duwen en dat lukt moeilijk. Na fors doordouwen van echte sterke doorzetters zit het deksel klem voor de volgende gebruikers. Want het is een kanteltrom en het kantelt dan niet meer. Dan moet de Storingsdienst gebeld. Er staat dan al snel een berg vuilniszakken naast de inwerpzuil. De Handleiding waarschuwt: ''maak uw zak niet te vol''. Er is alleen ruimte voor een halfvolle zak. Soms gaat het deksel ook zomaar niet open. De reader is dan gestoord. Of de opslag is vol. Soms gaat het na 10 pogingen wel open. Neem de tijd ervoor. Het kan wijs zijn eerst zonder vuilnis en met ketting en kaart te gaan kijken of het deksel wel werkt. Pas daarna van vier hoog boven uw vuilniszakken halen. Als u met twee halflege zakken komt: het deksel - een kanteltrom - valt na de eerste weer op slot. Voor elke volgende zak de procedure met de kaartlezer herhalen. Neem daar dus weer de tijd voor. Zie vervolg bij cartoon 4.
3. CORRECT DISPOSAL OF GARBAGE.
You see here the correct disposal of garbage in the container. There is only space for halfempty bags. The entrance is narrow. New users always try to push a full bag in the narrow entrance of the new container. They are used to the old containers. They are used to dispose of full plastic bags. Those bags have a standard format and are sold in the shops. This new narrow entrance they find irritating. Sometimes they block the entrance by trying to push a full bag down. The people that come after them place their bags outside on the street. Allthough this is not allowed.The garbagemanagement calls this asocial behaviour.
Untill the complex system is mended there grows a mountain of garbagebags on the streets beside the blocked entrance. Sometimes the system breaks down because there is something gone wrong with the cardreader. People find this irritating. They think: I drop my garbagebags anyhow. It is the problem of the garbagemanagement. Not our problem.
As you see here the container decided after reading the personal card to open up.
After every bag of garbage the container closes again. A heavy steel lid comes down and you have to start a new procedure with your card to let the container decide to go open. It takes some time. Sometimes it works immediately. Sometimes after a while. Sometimes not at all. It has to read again your card. You also can see here the card, hanging on a chain.

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 Aero Streamlined Two Seater Tourer was available via the main dealerships priced at £ 245

Mallard is an LNER A4 class streamlined pacific (4-6-2) wheel arrangement steam locomotive that holds the world record for the fastest steam locomotive reaching over 126 mph! Preserved at the York National Railway Museum as part of the national collection.

InternationalAirstream is a brand of luxury recreational vehicle manufactured in Jackson Center, Ohio, USA. It is currently a division of Thor Industries. The company, which now employs fewer than 400, is the oldest in the industry. Airstream trailers are easily recognized for their distinctive rounded aluminum bodies, which originated in the 1930s from designs created by Hawley Bowlus. Bowlus was the chief designer of Charles Lindbergh's aircraft, the Spirit of St. Louis.
This Dreyfuss-style streamlined 4-6-4 steam loco is to be numbered 5448 and is mostly modeled after a real, long-scrapped New York Central engine. The MOC was inspired by Anthony Sava and his Hudson models.
Each one of the five identical coal hopper models is an essentially a recolored version of set 10017 - Hopper Wagon from the My Own Train line from 2001. (Was that really nearly 23 years ago already?!?) As the cars are all exactly the same, I needed a picture of just one to convey the image of all five.
And yes, I know the streamlined Hudson's never pulled freight in the real world. HOWEVER: The Iron Giant animated film has a New York Central streamlined Hudson pulling a coal train that is badly wrecked (accidentally) by the robot. As I have the Iron Giant model already built, this train was a no-brainer to build. Along with the engine and tender, there are five coal hoppers and one caboose.

The New York Central K-5b Pacific Class 4-6-2 steam locomotive #4915 with Henry Dreyfuss' streamline design. Originally manufactured in 1926 by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO), no. 4915 and her sister no. 4917 were streamlined in 1936 to lead The New York Central’s most luxurious experience on rails.
This project is my first MOC and has taken about a year and a half to complete with many challenges arising in trying to obtain the beautiful "streamline moderne" styling. Perseverance paid off however and through 1/2 steps, 1/3 steps and even 1/6 steps I have ended with a final version that I hope you all will enjoy.
The model is 8-wide, built to 1:48 scale and is designed to fit all standard lego track geometry. The locomotive is powered by two Power Functions M motors.
Directions to the build can be found here:
SF MUNI PCC No. 1050 makes a stop at the Steuart Street stop in San Francisco.
The streamlined design “PCC” streetcar once ran in 33 cities across North America, but many would say if the PCC had a “home” it was St. Louis, in large part because of St. Louis Car Company, which built 75% of U.S. PCCs, including every PCC streetcar Muni has ever owned.
Of the thousands of PCCs that rolled off the St. Louis Car Company assembly lines, 300 went to work on the streets of St. Louis itself. St. Louis Public Service Company (SLPS) was the city’s transit operator, acquiring its PCCs in batches of 100 in 1940, 1941, and 1946. After World War II, transit demand dropped in St. Louis as elsewhere, and the number of St. Louis streetcar lines was gradually pared back, with surplus PCCs sold off to such cities as Philadelphia, Shaker Heights, Ohio, and Tampico, Mexico.
But the biggest single batch of St. Louis Public Service PCCs came west to San Francisco in a 1957 lease deal. Those 66 cars, augmented by four more in 1962, allowed Muni to complete conversion of its five streetcar lines, the J, K, L, M, and N to the modern PCCs from their boxy antique predecessors, which had come to be known as “Iron Monsters”. St. Louis Public Service was taken over by a government agency in 1963, and the last streetcar left the streets of St. Louis in 1966.
Those 70 SLPS PCCs that came to Muni soldiered on until 1982. In fact, one of Muni’s ex-SLPS cars, No. 1128, was repainted into its original St. Louis livery and given back its original SLPS number, 1704, to appear in the San Francisco Historic Trolley Festivals through 1987. Muni still retains a number of actual ex-SLPS PCCs, but all need complete rehabilitation to run again. So, in 2016 it was decided to honor St. Louis by repainting Car No. 1050 in SLPS livery. (It had originally been painted in the Muni “Wings” livery when the F-line opened, but three original Muni cars were subsequently restored in the “Wings”, making No. 1050 available to represent another city.)
As for St. Louis Car Company, it built its last PCC in 1952. That car, Muni’s No. 1040, has been restored to its original appearance – and “Wings” livery – and still operates as part of the Muni fleet today.

The legend that brought inspiration into the hearts of wannabe engine drivers everywhere. LNER no. 4468 "Mallard", later renumbered 60022 under BR, stands in pride of place at the edge of the National Railway Museum's turntable, looking as impressive as the day she broke the steam world speed record of 126mph.
Streamlined, Poema Utrecht, 28-05-2010. Sorry for the week delay before uploading the set(s). Maar het was een zwaar weekend zo, met 2 top-trance parties. Friday: 28/05: Streamlined, het laatste trancefeest in de Poema :( En zaterdag 29/05 mijn verjaardag om 00.00 uur in de Westerunie tijdens de Armada Night. Van dat feest 2 sets, 1 van gastfotograaf Paul en een van mij. Vanavond ook online hier. Het was weer fun, en een erg mooi weekend al met al. Jammer van de (te) lage opkomst bij Streamlined!

Inspired by the new autobahns, in the 1930s Mercedes-Benz offered several car models, including the 320, as so-called streamlined sedans. Even though the improvements in consumption and top speed were minimal, the streamlined Mercedes-Benz sedans were the most stylish means of travelling on the autobahn in all comfort and safety.

This is LMS Princess Coronation Class 6229 Duchess of Hamilton at the National Railway Museum, York.
6229 was built in 1938 at Crewe as the tenth member of its class, and was the last in the second batch of five red streamlined locomotives. The original streamlining was removed in December 1947.
Duchess of Hamilton was re-streamlined at the Tyseley works in Birmingham, being completed in May 2009.
Our holiday card this year features a New York Central Dreyfuss streamlined Hudson Locomotive barreling past several 1950's-era kids building a snowman. It was created by Doug and Jasper Johnson here at Galaxy 61 studios in December 2013. It is loosely based on several holiday-themed works of the iconic american railroad painter Howard Fogg. This is the anaglyph 3D version.
Building guide for my own Lego creation - 139 parts, size 24.6 x 3.2 x 3.8 in studs.
The model is available here: www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/design.page?idModel=815496.
The inspiration was the American steam locomotive 4-6-2 2906, but I believe that you will see another steam engine in my model :)
Derived from MG designer Syd Enever’s streamlined 1952 Le Mans car, the beautifully sleek and understated body was the equal of anything the Italians had to offer and even made Jaguar’s XK120 (to which it bore a passing resemblance) look lardy by comparison.
Of traditional body-on-frame design, the MGA had a notably rigid structure thanks to a triangulated bulkhead design allied to a massively stiff chassis. The 1,498cc engine initially produced 68bhp but was quickly upgraded to 72bhp and, according to a 1955 road test in ‘The Motor’, gave the car a top speed of 97.8mph with a 0-60 time of 16 seconds and a fuel consumption of 26.7mpg.
A standard model in the range from 1955, the Coupe was available throughout the model's lifetime, in 1500, 1600, Mk II and Twin-Cam forms. Mechanically identical to the open models, Coupe features included wind-up door windows, external door handles, locks and extra brightwork. With direct, vice-free rack-and-pinion steering, plus a great racing pedigree, it's no wonder that the MGA has acquired such a devoted fan club over the years.
Production finally came to an end in 1962 when it was replaced by the softer and rather less inspiring MGB. In total 101,081 MGAs of all types were sold, most in Roadster form and the vast majority to the booming US market with only 5,869 sold in the UK, the lowest percentage of any British car.
