The artwork by an unidentified artist is titled “Twilight in the Berkshires.” This stunning illustration captures the romance of rail travel at its peak. The way the artist portrays the streamlined train against the rich hues of twilight, with rolling mountains and a winding river, creates a sense of tranquility and adventure. The warm tones of the sky contrast with the sleek metallic train, making it the centerpiece of the scene.
The ad does a masterful job of selling not just a mode of transportation, but an experience. The mention of private-room accommodations, fine dining, and an observation car immediately elevates the journey from mere travel to luxury. Phrases like “sleep on the smooth Water Level Route” and “see the picturesque Berkshires by day” make it clear that passengers won’t just be getting from Boston to Albany—they’ll be savoring every mile.
It also taps into nostalgia and regional pride—New England’s charm is undeniable, and the ad presents it as something worth experiencing firsthand. It’s the kind of advertisement that would appeal to both business travelers and leisure seekers, painting the railroad as an elegant, comfortable, and scenic way to travel.
That era of rail travel had a sense of style and adventure—it wasn’t just about getting from point A to point B, but about the journey itself. Imagine settling into a comfortable seat, watching the Berkshires roll by as twilight paints the sky in deep reds and oranges, maybe even enjoying a meal in the dining car with linen tablecloths and fine china. It really was an experience worth savoring.

One of the highlights of the Newbury Classic Vehicle Show was this Hillman Aero Minx Streamlined Saloon. Newbury Racecourse, Berkshire, UK. 2019/08/11
Led by streamlined 4-6-2 class P steam locomotive 868, a SAL passenger train waits to depart the downtown St. Petersburg depot next to Webb's City in 1940. These locomotives hauled passenger trains between Wildwood, Florida and St. Petersburg. At Wildwood, northbound cars were combined with a Miami section to continue the journey to New York City, and southbound cars were retrieved to continue their journey to St. Petersburg. George W.

Preserved London, Midland & Scottish Railway streamlined 'Coronation' class 4-6-2 steam locomotive 6229 'Duchess of Hamilton' and L.M.S. 3rd class brake corridor carraige 5897 are pictured on display in the Great Hall at the National Railway Museum, York.
This locomotive was renumbered 46229 by British Railways when the railways were Nationalised in 1947.
With its streamlined styling, low-slung chassis and supercharged engine, the Type 57SC Atalante is one of the most desirable Bugattis. It was personally designed by Jean Bugatti as a two-seater sports coupe and became the rarest of the four different body styles offered by Carrosorie Bugatti. The Atalante body style was an interpretation of the 1935 Aérolithe Coupe, essentially a prototype that reached very limited production in 1936 as the Type 57 Atlantic. This somewhat bizarre car used riveted panels to form a streamlined sports coupe. It’s rumored that Jean Bugatti was influenced by the Mercedes-Benz 500 K Autobahnkurier at the 1934 Frankfurt Auto Show and created the Aérolithe as a response.
As majestic and unusual as the Atlantic was, it wasn’t suitable for series production with its high set doors, fussy construction and split front window. The design was revised into the Atalante which included the Aérolithe’s teardrop shape, but with a flat windshield, a separate trunk area with recessed spare-tire and full-size doors that retained the signature kidney-bean windows.
On the 57S Atalante, Jean used a two-tone paint scheme that accentuated the use of his French curve on the side of the car. Typically, the car was black with an intense highlight color. On some cars, this accent dash extended around the entire cabin.
The basis for this remarkable car was Bugatti's top-of-the-line Type 57S chassis. These were the same type that Jean-Pierre Wimille and Robert Benoist drove to win the 1937 24 Hours of Le Mans. It had a much lower chassis than the preceding Type 57 and also used complex de Ram shock absorbers
. In many ways this was the ultimate Bugatti since no logical successor was ever produced. Some cars came with fitted superchargers, while others were retrofitted with them.
To maintain exclusivity, no two of the Type 57S Atalantes were the same. In detail, each was distinct and some major differences were introduced. For instance, two were made as Roll-Back Coupes with reclining soft-tops. Some of the first had independent headlights while others were sculpted into the body. Most featured skirted rear arches and wire wheels or polished aluminum hubcaps. Some of the more dramatic cars feature lengthened rear fenders. Essentially, where anyone tries to make a rule there is usually an exception.
Type 57SC Chassis
Atalante bodies were manufactured on the complete range of Type 57 chassis. This was Jean Bugatti’s answer to model consolation, replacing the six luxurious and sporting chassis made under his father’s direction. Using the dual-overhead camshaft (DOHC) concept engine from the Type 55 road car, he designed an entirely new chassis.
The first of these were the Type 57 and supercharged 57C both were distinguished by their tall radiator and chassis. They were powered by a new engine with 72mm bore and 100mm stroke, producing 135 bhp at 5,000 rpm. Almost as important, they provided the support for Jean Bugatti’s exceptional bodies which were elegant, with balanced proportions and daring colors.
Later, the chassis was definitively upgraded into the lower Type 57S or Surbaissé version. The main chassis rails of this model were elegant and complex. Towards the center of car, the chassis rails became wider and taller to provide the necessary rigidity. At the rear, the axle passed through the chassis and was supported by reversed quarter-elliptic leaf springs. This allowed for the lowest possible ride height while retaining suspension compliance. Furthermore, the engine clearance dictated a dry-sump lubrication was needed that used a 20-liter external reservoir.
Outwardly, the Type 57S chassis was distinguished by its ovoid radiator that formed a deep vee. Other chassis details included self-adjusting DeRam hydraulic shock absorbers on both the front and rear axles. Furthermore, the engine was not a stressed member of the chassis anymore, instead being mounted with rubber bushings.
As the ultimate Atalante, the Type 57SC had both this lower chassis and supercharged engine. It was distinguished by its 4–5 psi supercharger that helped the 3.3-liter engine produce 170 bhp. This Roots unit was mounted at the rear of the engine and driven directly from the camshaft. Versions of this engine went on to win the best races including the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
With such a capable chassis, the Type 57SC has been described as the world’s first supercar
I couldn't help myself - it's not my fault.
Let me start over: I made a streamlined New York Central 4-6-4 Hudson digitally a few days ago, and suddenly had the intense, uncontrollable urge to make matching passenger cars for it. So, I took the 20 year old Santa Fe Super Chief cars and designed some NYC passenger cars from the bones of the older sets. The original train was MUCH too long for my needs, and it didn't have regular, ordinary coaches so I modified it a lot. I kind of got carried away, but it should work in real life. (I hope)
So, like I said: I couldn't help myself - it's not my fault... I blame my insane need for every engine to have a train to go with it.
Ka 942, de-streamlined and re-numbered Ka 949 for the Tangiwai filming arrives at Paekakariki to collect the carriage consist. Once a resident at Paekakariki (though not in working order at that stage), this was the first time 942 had been back to Paekakariki since the late 1970's. The hoses on the headstock is a convenient and safe place to put them when the loco has its streamlining on - but without its a different story and when this was noticed at Paekakariki they were taken off and stowed elsewhere.

La Cementerio de la Recoleta (Recoleta Cemetery), set in 5.5 hectares or the equivalent of about four city blocks, has more than 350,000 people buried in an estimated 4,7000 vaults--all above ground, and many of which have been declared National historical Monuments. Many of the elaborate marble mausoleums are decorated with statues, in a wide variety of architectural styles such as Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Baroque, and Neo-Gothic The cemetery was inaugurated under the name Cementerio del Norte (Northern Cemetery) on November 17, 1822, around Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Pilar, the church and convent built in 1732 and abandoned in 1822 by the monks of the Order of the Recoletos. The original 1822 layout was designed by architect and civil engineer Próspero Catelin, and an 1881 remodeling was handled by Italian architect Juan Antonio Buschiazzo.

Beetles
The Coleoptera includes more species than any other order, About 40% of all described insect species are beetles (about 400,000 species) .
and new species are discovered frequently. Some estimates put the total number of species, described and undescribed, at as high as 100 million .
Despite the reluctance of many insect beetle, including raised in them from revolting and disgusting
However, many types are considered by some beautiful, especially the bright colors of the iris, and points of multiple colors, so it is not surprising that some in the West and the East, collect the insects as a hobby, not a stranger to automotive engineers made allowing free car-like beetle
In the civilization of ancient Egypt was considered sacred, and even Tfaúloa existence in their homes, and no wonder in that it found a lot of sculptures in the form of beetles, as well as many of the inscriptions and fees
الخنافس
أنواعها المعروفة، كثيرة جدا، يصل عددها إلى 400,000 نوع ، إذ أن 40% من الحشرات المعروفة، هي خنافس بالأصل .
إذ تقدر الأنواع المعروفة ، و الغير المعروفة، بأعداد تتراوح بين 5-8 ملايين نوع .
على الرغم من نفور الكثيرين من حشرة الخنفساء ، بما تثيره في نفوسهم من اشمئزاز وتقزز
إلا أن الكثير من أنواعها تعتبر لدى البعض جميلة، سيما بألوانها القزحية اللامعة، ونقاطها متعددة الألوان، لذلك ليس غريبا ان يقوم البعض في الغرب والشرق ، بجمع هذه الحشرات كهواية، وليس غريبا ان يصنع مهندسي السيارات سيارة انسيابة تشبه الخنفساء
وفي حضارة مصر القديمة اعتبرت مقدسة، بل وتفائلوا بوجودها في منازلهم، ولا عجب في ذلك إذ وجدت الكثير من المنحوتات على هيئة خنافس، وكذلك الكثير من النقوش والرسوم

I started at 680 bricks for this NYC streamlined Hudson, and have 231 left to go order / find. This means I've found 449 bricks so far, or a little under 2/3 of the way complete. (Yes I used a calculator for all that math!) Sadly, any further real-world progress will have to wait until parts are ordered (or more parts are found), as I've reached an impasse.
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.
