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.
This should settle a great deal of curiosity? The drivers position on the 1935 Test Streamlined stock. The drivers seat has been reversed for the photo. The gear type controls,as we all know didn't catch on. But an interesting set up and all very basic as you would expect from a trial test.

This pretty, streamlined, very interesting and advanced car was designed by the engineer Antonio Fessia and the stylist Giovanni Bertone, and produced in Saronno (Lombardy, Italy) by CEMSA (Caproni Elettromeccanica di Saronno SA) in 1947.
In the same year it was exhibited at the Paris Motor Show as the Cemsa Caproni F11.
The main innovative features were the boxer engine with 4 opposing pistons, the gear lever mounted on the steering column, and a steel chassis with independent suspensions.
You can find more info (in Italian) here.

This Dreyfuss-style streamlined 4-6-4 steam loco is numbered 5448 and is mostly modeled after a real, long-scrapped New York Central engine. The loco's tender really should say the railroad's full name of New York Central instead of its initials, but I don't want to shell out the money for all those 1 x 1 tiles, so I'm using fewer 2x2 tiles instead to spell out NYC, as it's much cheaper that way!
Note: As some of you might be able to guess, this loco with matching coaches were inspired by pictures of Anthony Sava's original streamlined Tequila Sunrise train from 2007... however, no instructions were used to build the engine or cars.

Piet Dickentman with streamlined bicycle
Last year in the Netherlands a lovely booklet about Piet Dickentman was published. Obviously the picture of Piet left was also in there.
(My copy comes from the archives of Olympia.)
The author believes that Piet Dickentman built this cloth faired bike in Amsterdam during World War I.
That sounds unlikely to me for several reasons.
For example, being in Amsterdam why would Dickentman place a (very professionally designed/made) advertising for a regional German German cigarette brand on it?
We also know that in the summer of 1914 Dickentman drove several demonstration races (literally: "Demonstrationswettbewerben") with 'torpedo' bikes in Germany. Races organized by bike manufacturers like Göricke, Brennabor and others.
Therefore: possibly this bike is in Amsterdam during World War I.
But I think that a) in this photo Dickentman is not posing in the Netherlands but in Germany, and b) his bike is a German factory bike and not an own construction.
Some additional evidence
Top right you can see a photo of the first of those demonstration races in April 1914, between Dutch world champion Piet Dickentman (Göricke) and European champion Arthur Stellbrink (Brennabor). Stellbrink wins.
Underneath a 'Bulgaria Sport' Cigarettes ad from a German newspaper .
And another thing: do not trust the internet blindly
Piet Dickentman did not dy in 1914 during that first demonstration race! Neither did the UCI forbid riding cloth faired bikes in 1914.
Quite a lot of sites about aerodynamic bikes are giving this noninformation.
Two things are confused here. The Rennbahnkatastrophe in Berlin in 1909, and the ban on recumbents etcetera by the UCI mid 1930.

The evocative shape of the streamlined Typ C must have caused a sensation in 1937. Afterward, and especially in the post war period, the curves of this car found their way onto production cars. That's because this Auto Union was specially shaped for top speed on the Avus circuit near Berlin. At the time, it was the fastest track in the world.
In 1937, Avus was facing competition from the Norisring in Nuremberg. To garner more attention, the Avus' simple layout was extended to include a high speed 43° banked turn made from brick. This launched right onto the main straight, letting cars reach nearly 248.40 mph (400 kph).
The Internationales Avus Rennen main event was held and the organizers invited record-breaking cars from both Auto Union and Mercedes-Benz. Both companies developed their cars thoroughly and did multiple tests on Avus before the race. At the time, Avus was ultimate race track and also the most dangerous. Since there was no fence at the top of the curve, it got nicknamed the 'Wall of Death'. This didn't stop 18 brave drivers from entering the race and 300,000 to 400,000 people showed up for the fastest pre-war race ever run.
The race was split into three seven-lap sprints with grids of only six or eight cars. Four streamliners were included and evenly simple split between Mercedes and Auto Union. They raced alongside the regular-season Grand Prix cars. Naturally, the Streamliners had a distinct advantage on the two long straights at Avus but the GP cars had the edge on the joining curves. At the start, Caracciola in the Mercedes and Rosemeyer in the Auto Union had a great battle. This lasted until the last lap when they were side-by-side. In the end Caracciola won just 0.7 seconds in front of Rosemeyer.
The second heat was much faster, with Brauchitsch and Fagioli in dueling streamliners. Fagioli retired with transmissions problems which left Von Brauchitsch and Mercedes the easy win. The other Mercedes-Benz Streamliner of Herman Lang suffered a tire failure at speed and Lang was lucky to keep the car straight enough to survive.
The third and final heat decided the overall victor with a combined group from the first two races. Four Streamliners were entered Brauchitsch, Caracciola and Lang in Mercedes against Rosemeyer in the Auto Union. He didn't stand a chance since his V16 was only running on 13 cylinders and he was well outnumbered. Eventually, Lang went on the win entire event. This would be the only time someone would score a victory using the full track, as it was deemed to dangerous to repeat in 1938.
By 1937, Auto Union had been actively making streamlined record cars for three years. Their first attempt was with a long-tail Typ A and later a striking Rekordwagen Typ Lucca Coupe was made. Auto Union might have considered using these designs in a a normal Grand Prix race, but this never happened. A streamlined Typ D did show up at Reims for the 1938 French GP but crashed heavily during practice. This car might have had a shorter tail than the record car pictured above.
Unfortunately, the only record of these cars exists in pictures. A replica of 1937 Avus car was made to exact specification for Audi Tradition.

`The large streamlined modern house with surgery rooms on the ground floor was built in 1938 for Dr Fenton-Bowen, and designed by architects Rhys Hopkins and Shannon. It was built by J A E Humphries, the well known builder who helped create the notable Golf Links Estate in Camberwell, and father of the famous Barry Humphries. Family legend has it that he designed the house, but it seems more likely that he simply admired it..
The house is constructed of special flat dark Manganese bricks, giving it a dark brooding quality, and emphasizing the horizontal lines of the design. There is a prominent semi-circular bay on the main corner, a slim projecting concrete projection over the ground floor windows, curved corners and windows, and a flat roof combining to make a most distinctive modernist design.'

This Touring-bodied coupé is one of just over 100 Mille Miglias built. In November 1937 Autocar tested the model at Brooklands and it achieved 93.75mph over a flying quarter mile and 0-60 mph in 16.6 seconds.
Nine 6C-2300s were entered into the 1937 Mille Miglia with some success against Tipo B Berlinettas and a Delahaye ending an impressive fourth in a huge entry of cars. In this wet year the closed bodywork and streamlined shape must have been a boon to the drivers of these cars.
The Crusader was the Reading Company’s contribution to the high-speed steam-hauled prestige trains of the 1930s. Less well known than trains such as the Milwaukee Road’s Hiawatha and the LNER’s Coronation streamliners, the Crusader was launched in 1937, comprising a fixed formation of five stainless steel cars built by Budd Co., hauled by a stainless steel-shrouded streamlined Pacific class. The 5-car formation included observation cars at each end, a tavern dining car and a cocktail lounge. The service ran between the Reading Broad Street terminal in Philadelphia and the Central Railroad of New Jersey Communipaw Terminal in Jersey City - a journey of 90 miles. A ferry service connected with Manhattan. Diesel haulage replaced steam around 1950. In the final years of operation, Budd RDC railcars provided the much-depleted service. Two of the Budd streamlined coaches have survived in preservation.
Streamlined Diesel Railcar No. 4.
In 1933 the GWR introduced the first of what was to become a very successful series of railcars, which survived in regular use into the 1960s, when they were replaced with the new British Rail "first generation" type diesel multiple units.

CeraMystic 2005 welcomed German ceramist, Manfred Braun. A member of Bundesverband Kunsthandwerk, he has participated in a variety of international exhibits, in Frankfort, New York, Tokyo and Cologne where he was the recipient of special mentions and awards. Luminary objects and vessels, in stoneware or porcelain, pure, elegant, contemporary designs executed with remarkable craftsmanship.
In the picturesque hamlet of Mystic, 45 minutes south-east of Montreal, a wide array of utilitarian and decorative ceramics will be displayed in a peaceful garden setting. Now in its eighth edition (in 2011), this outdoor exhibition will be featuring the work of some 30 guest artists, from one-of-a-kind garden sculptures, to beautifully-crafted, traditional pottery and contemporary, streamlined porcelain…
The American Freedom Train's locomotive, Southern Pacific GS-4 class # 4449, a modern streamlined oil burning 4-8-4 Northern, is shown in a rear view with one of it's main rods down at the SCL-Amtrak (former ACL) station in Saint Petersburg, Florida, during December 1976. There was a mechanical problem with the main pin that is used to connect the main rod to the alligator crosshead and it needed to be repaired. A local machine shop in the area performed the mechanical work on the pin and shortly the problem was solved.
An all-new streamlined appearance, commonly called ponton, was offered by Packard, and the Series 22 Custom Super Eight replaced the Custom Super Clipper and was the top-level trim package sedan, limousine and convertible. The "free-flow" slab-sided appearance was shared with all Packards and senior trim levels could be distinguished with an egg-crate grille, and horizontal bars below the traditional "ox-yoke" grille that wrapped around to the front wheel opening. The overall appearance was distinctive, with Packard winning several awards for the design, including the "Fashion Car of the Year" from the New York Fashion Academy.
The "Winged Goddess" cormorant hood ornament was introduced, intended to evoke the popular appearance from Packards of the 1930s. The 2-door Club Sedan was joined with the first convertible offered since 1942, called the Victoria Convertible Model 2259, and was available with the Super and Custom Super trim packages. Custom Super trim packages could be identified by having two stainless steel body trim at the bottom edge of the body, while Super trim did not have them after 1949.

BENS, a classic Streamlined Modern restaurant in Montreal, visited by many celebrities, is being sold and is in grave danger of being demolished. Sam Benatar, president of SIDEV, the developer, has declared, "It isn't worth anything." It is very ironic that there is now an exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts on Streamlined Design, www.mmfa.qc.ca/en/expositions/exposition_43.html with carefully preserved examples of Streamlined Modern design but a beautiful public example of it is about to be destroyed. Surely, BENS is as important to preserve as the objects in the museum exhibit.
