Two superb live steam models of NSWGR streamlined C38 class. They are being serviced after the day's running for the local railway picnic. The detail of these models is just amazing.
I've streamlined my wishlist quite a bit, either through sacrifice of sets I think I can live without or through some miracle I got the set somehow. Still...

I was able to get a copy of the Dwarfs Mining already, but don't ask me how. I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. Or at the very least give you a few paper cuts.
The streamlined front end of DB Class 10 4-6-2 No.10 001 at the German Steam Locomotive Museum, Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg, 6 May 2016. Two were built by Krupp in 1957 as the first of a planned large class to replace the Class 01 and 01.10 Pacifics. However, spreading electrification meant no more were built. They had the same welded boiler as the rebuilt Class 01's and 01.10's. No.10 001 originally had coal and oil firing but this was soon replaced by all-coil firing as No.10 002 had from completion. They were withdrawn in 1967-68 despite being highly successful and a fitting climax to German steam engine development. Presumably their high axle loading (22.4 tonnes) meant they had a far more limited route availability than the older Pacifics and thus when displaced by electrics they had no suitable routes to work. In my opinion a potententially beautiful engine is rather spoilt by the over-heavy looking streamlined lower front end and a very spindly smokebox door cone.

Recent shift to AMC enables streamlined logistics services

CAMP CASEY, SOUTH KOREA – The logisticians who look after Warrior Country’s transportation, maintenance and supply needs are now able to provide even more robust services thanks to a recent change that gives them broader, faster reach into the Army’s overall logistics network.
The U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud and Area I’s Directorate of Logistics ran the Central Issue Facility at Camp Hovey and the transportation motor pools that provide buses and vehicle maintenance in Warrior Country.
They did that as part of the U.S. Army Installation Management Command, of which USAG Red Cloud and Area I is a part.
But, effective Oct. 1, all Army DOL assets shifted from IMCOM to the U.S. Army Materiel Command. AMC is a global command that supports Army logistics worldwide.
The shift plugs in the DOL to AMC’s global logistics network.
And in Warrior Country, DOL is now part of the 403rd Army Field Support Brigade Area I, said DOL director Dennis Williams.
For Warrior Country customers, that’ll mean that when one of the 403rd AFSB’s facilities in Warrior Country runs low on an item – helmets or vehicle parts – for example, they can be shipped from another facility that does have them, even one in, say, Japan, Williams said.
The transition will not pose any confusion or inconvenience for DOL customers, he said.
“For Area I it will be transparent,” he said. “The services we did yesterday are the same services that we’ll do today and tomorrow.”
The Area I DOL marked the shift to AMC with a low-key patch-and-pin ceremony Oct. 3 at Camp Casey’s Carey Fitness Center.
There, DOL’s Soldiers traded in their seven-sided IMCOM patch for the shield-shaped AMC patch, while civilians received an AMC lapel pin.
“On behalf of the Army Materiel Command I want to welcome you to the new AMC family,” Col. Michael Lopez, commander of the 403rd AFSB, said during the ceremony.
For the more than 300 DOL Soldiers, Department of the Army Civilians and Korean civilians in Warrior Country, the 403rd AFSB is now their higher headquarters. But, they’re not alone. On Oct. 1, the 403rd also took command and control of all DOLs in Korea, Japan and Okinawa.
The changeover process was set in motion in March 2005 when the leadership of IMCOM and AMC decided to develop a logistics partnership to improve support to the Army and the Army’s transformation plan.

London Midland & Scottish Railway, 8P Coronation class 4-6-2 No 46229 "Duchess of Hamilton", designed by William Stanier, built at Crewe in 1938
With their sleek, streamlined bodies, reddish gold coats, and the dramatic markings on the face, caracals are among the most beautiful of cats. Also called the desert lynx, medium-sized caracals have no spots or stripes and have longer legs than a true lynx and a slimmer body. They are the heaviest and also the fastest of the small cats. Like the rest of the small cats, they may purr when content and make a variety of other mews, growls, and hisses to express their mood.
The most noticeable feature of a caracal is its long, black ear tufts, or tassels. There are many theories about the function of the ear tufts. Some researchers say the tufts act as antennas to help the cat hear. Others say the tufts keep flies out of the cat’s face. It is also believed that the ear tufts help to camouflage the animal in tall grass by breaking up the outline of its head. However, the most widely accepted theory is that the tufts help the cat communicate.
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.

This design came from the 30s sensibilites of speed and sleekness. It's a bit of a marketing gimmick and actually a normal looking steam train under that casing. The original outer pannels were discarded after the war and melted down because they made it difficult to repair the loco. Replacement pannels were made and fitted this year so we can see what a Poirot era loco would have looked like. Pretty out there, and probably egged on by the success of the A1 trust.
It is dubious as to whether the stramlining gives it any speed or efficiency advantage, I think the money is on the savings beeing balanced out by the weight of the extra cladding!
Built in 1935-1939, this Modern house, an example of Organic Architecture, was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the family of department store owner Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr. to serve as a weekend retreat. The house was a catalyst for the revitalization of Frank Lloyd Wright’s career, who was in his mid-60s at the time, along with two other commissions around the same time, the Johnson Wax Headquarters and the Jacobs House I, which were critically acclaimed and explored a bold new direction of organic architecture that was heavily inspired from their natural surroundings, and were streamlined, dropping most of the ornamental pretenses of his earlier work. The house was built for department store owner Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., his wife, Liliane Kaufmann, and their only son, Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., to serve as the family’s weekend retreat, with room to accommodate a small staff and guests alongside the family. The Kaufmann family became acquainted with the work of Wright through Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., who read Frank Lloyd Wright’s autobiography in 1934, and was so impressed that he decided to intern at the Taliesin Fellowship, where Edgar, Sr. and Liliane first met Wright while visiting Edgar, Jr. The family, at the time, resided in a traditional-style mansion in Fox Chapel, near Pittsburgh, and had a small rustic cabin overlooking the waterfall at the Fallingwater site. The cabins were falling into disrepair in the mid-1930s, which prompted the Kaufmann family to contact Wright to design a replacement structure. Wright visited and surveyed the area around Bear Run in 1934, but shelved the project while pursuing other work for the next few months, thinking through the design, before being surprised by a visit from Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr. in September 1935, which prompted Wright to quickly draw a concept for a house at Bear Run, producing the initial design drawings in two hours. Edgar, Sr., upon seeing the plans, was surprised to see the house soaring above the waterfall, as he had expected it to sit below the falls in order to view them from a distance, but Wright’s charisma convinced a skeptical Kaufmann to buy into the concept.
The house was designed by Wright with input from structural engineers Mendel Glickman and William Wesley Peters to feature large cantilevers, which allowed it to embrace the waterfall and topography below, while providing ample outdoor space and the desired number of bedrooms and living spaces within. A second wing was constructed above the main house, linked to it via a covered breezeway, which houses a carport, servants quarters, and a guest suite. The stone utilized in the house’s construction was quarried on the site, and it utilized reinforced concrete in its construction, a building technique with which Wright was inexperienced, but which the design would be impossible to implement without utilizing. Kaufmann was skeptical of Wright’s experience with the technique, as well as the cantilevered forms of the structure, and commissioned an engineering report, compiled by an engineering firm, which caused Wright to threaten to walk away from the incomplete project. Kaufmann relented in the face of Wright’s ultimatum, and had the documents buried. However, the contractor, feeling uneasy about the strength of Wright’s design, added extra reinforcement in secret, which was revealed during the building’s restoration. Other changes were made due to skepticism of the cantilevered design, but many of these were reversed, which proved the resiliency and strength of the design. The house came in far over budget, but despite these cost overruns and complications with the design, the Kaufmann family enjoyed it as a weekend retreat between 1937 and 1963. Liliane Kaufmann died in 1952, and Edgar Kaufmann, Sr. died in 1955, leaving the house to their son, Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., who continued to utilize the house as a weekend retreat, with his life partner, Paul Mayén, becoming a regular visitor to the house as well. In 1963, Edgar, Jr. donated the property to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, along with the surrounding property, which was converted into a nature reserve, and the house was opened for public tours.
The house features multiple reinforced concrete cantilevers, wrap-around windows facing the falls and Bear Run, open, transparent corners on the side of the building facing the creek, stone cladding on the more opaque portions of the facade, large terraces on the cantilevered portions of the building, open tread staircases inside and outside the building, red metal trim, a suspended concrete canopy over the breezeway connecting the guest wing and carport with the main house, a swimming pool on the terrace outside the guest wing, rocks embedded into the floors of the interior of the house, a staircase from the living room down to Bear Run below, and red concrete floors inside. A driveway, following Bear Run, crosses a bridge next to the main wing of the house before following a narrow corridor between the main wing and an adjacent stone outcropping, before turning and arriving at the upper wing, which originally housed a four-bay carport on the lower floor. The interior of the house is very open to the exterior, with low furnishings that allow for maximization of the views out of the windows, and is home to art that was collected by Liliane, books collected by Edgar, Jr. and Paul, and furnishings collected by Edgar, Sr. The house’s kitchen features yellow-painted metal cabinets and appliances, and chrome handles, the living room features a fireplace with a spherical beverage warmer that is designed to swing over to the fireplace from its storage location next to the fireplace and coffered ceilings, and horizontal bands of trim, and various portions of the house feature built-in desks, cabinets, wooden slat screens, and bookshelves, simple beds featuring wooden headboards and nightstands in the bedrooms, and bathrooms with cork tiles, sunken bathtubs, ceiling-mounted shower heads, and toilets with wall-embedded tanks. The upper wing of the house has a carport and guest suite on the lower floor, with servants quarters above, and the main house features a living room, dining room, kitchen, terraces and lounge on the first floor, a primary suite and secondary bedroom and bathroom with large terraces on the second floor, and a suite intended for Edgar, Jr. on the third floor, which was later partially converted into an office. The house is very broad in the direction parallel to Bear Run and has a living room that cantilevers over the creek, but it is very thin, being rather thin, with primary interior spaces featuring windows that look out onto Bear Run below. The house, despite its size appearing massive due to its spatial arrangement, has only a small interior square footage, but the space is efficiently designed to offer maximum utility to the occupants, and allow a close connection with nature.
The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. It was designated as part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, in 2019. A visitor center was constructed on the property in 1977-1979, designed by Paul Mayen. The most visible modification to the house since it was opened to the public were the enclosure of three carport bays to house a museum and presentation space for visitors. The house underwent major alterations to its structural systems in 1995-2002, involving analyzing the performance of the cantilevers over time since the house’s construction, as the bold cantilevered forms had insufficient reinforcement and had deflected substantially, nearing their failure points. Additional steel supports and post-tensioning in the form of steel cables were added to the building to support the cantilevers, which has halted the progression of the deflection of the structure, though it is monitored by the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy in order to detect any further movement of the structure. The house today sees over one-hundred thousand visitors annually, and is one of the most well-known works of Wright, as well as being one of the best-known houses in the United States.
On the left, the opulent art deco styling of the Duchess of Hamilton; on the right a Chrysler Airflow.
In 1939, No. 6229 Duchess of Hamilton became the most famous Princess Coronation of all time when she was shipped to America to take part in the New York World‘s Fair, renamed and numbered as Coronation. Art Deco was strongly adopted in the United States during the Great Depression for its practicality and simplicity, while still portraying a reminder of better times and the ‘American Dream.’ The 1939-40 Fair at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park was Streamline Moderne's finest hour. Many countries around the world participated, and over 44 million people attended its exhibitions in two seasons.
When the Chrysler Airflow hit the streets in 1934 it was like nothing the American motorists had ever seen before. The Airflow made full use of new metal technology and streamline design to reinvent the car as a total design concept. Its in-line eight cylinder engine was suspended over the front wheels, its passengers cocooned between the axles, giving the smoothest ride on the market. In fact the Airflow was everything we now take for granted in a car. Perhaps that's why it ws a design classic and a commercial flop. The American public just was not ready for such a radical design. Airflow production ceased in 1937.

Seaboard Coast Line view of a former Atlantic Coast Line modernized heavyweight Pullman car that is located in the railroad yard at Lakeland, Florida, 1970's. This Pullman car was still lettered for the ACL and appeared to be used in work train service. The metallic steam train line had been removed from this car. This car had a streamlined roof profile, although it was higher than the lightweight cars approximately 4 to 6 inches. The car had modernized trucks with the installation of roller bearings and it also had skirts, retrackable steps, dutch doors and tightlock couplers and modernized flat ends. No doubt when this car was in passenger service it also had a refurbished interior, maybe in a more modern motif. To the left is another heavyweight Pullman car use in work train service. This car's road number appears to be # 1131.

Transferring vehicle ownership from one Area I Soldier to another is now a lot quicker and easier than it was only weeks ago thanks to an arrangement worked out by the U.S. Army and officials of the city of Dongducheon.
The streamlined arrangement cuts vehicle transfer to a virtually one-stop, same-day process under an agreement reached between the U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud and Area I and Dongducheon city officials.
Under the new agreement, a Dongducheon city vehicle registration official has been assigned to work in the Area I vehicle registration office in Maude Hall, Room 2440. That means that much of the vehicle paperwork process that previously required trips to Dongducheon City Hall can now be done right in Maude Hall.
“That day, on the spot, one-stop, you never have to come back,” said Eliott Bradley, who heads the U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud and Area I’s Directorate of Emergency Services. “So that saves, right there, five days.”
The Dongducheon official works at Maude Hall Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The agreement was signed Oct. 31 and took effect Nov. 1.
It applies not only to Soldiers but to all members of the Area I community – Defense Department civilians, dependents, authorized contractors and retirees, Bradley said.
Registering a vehicle for a member of the U.S. military community involves two sets of officials – those of the U.S. military itself, and local South Korean motor vehicle authorities.
In Area I until now, part of the ownership transfer process included actions that were only performed at Dongducheon City Hall. That added several days to the process of transferring ownership of a vehicle, said Bradley.
Now, ownership transfer, which includes transferring registration and plates and updating the vehicle decal, can be completed within a single day, Bradley said.
If a Soldier is nearing PCS and wants to sell a vehicle to another Soldier, for example, both would come to the vehicle registration office at Maude Hall with the necessary documents, among them driver’s license, insurance, and registration.
Once officials there ensure the documents are correctly filled out and otherwise in order, the Dongducheon official working there would print out new vehicle registration paperwork in the new owner’s name, Bradley said.
And the new owner would be issued an updated vehicle decal.
That’s days faster than before, mainly because Area I officials would have to travel to Dongducheon City Hall and – on Tuesdays or Thursdays only – drop off the required paperwork at the vehicle registration office.
“In the meantime the Soldiers would have to wait several days,” Bradley said.
Customers would have to make another trip to City Hall for the second phase to have license plates issued.
They would return to Maude Hall where an official decal would be put on the vehicle.
The new arrangement has also simplified some parts of the process of registering a newly arrived vehicle in Korea, Bradley said.
Having the Dongducheon official working out of Maude Hall speeds the process of getting that paperwork okayed, and the customer can then go, typically same day, to City Hall to be issued permanent plates.
But Area I officials are currently exploring steps that could eventually further streamline the process for registration of vehicles newly arrived in Korea, as well as for vehicles purchased from off-post dealers, Bradley said.
Capt. Nathan Bethea found transferring vehicle ownership much easier than it might have been for a process that involves two sets of authorities, one of them a foreign government.
Bethea went to Maude Hall Nov. 14 to take ownership of a gold-colored 1998 Daewoo Matiz he bought from a fellow-officer who was nearing PCS and had advertised it for sale.
They presented all the required paperwork and were in and out in about 45 minutes, said Bethea, assistant S-3 with Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment, part of the 2nd Infantry Division.
“All in all I felt the process was pretty easy,” he said. “Given that I’m dealing with a foreign country I found that it went a lot easier than it could have gone.
“For the simple fact that it eliminates us having to go down to a Korean government building, which I think might be intimidating just because of the language barrier and so on,” said Bethea. “Having it here made it much easier,” he said. “It’s no harder than registering a vehicle in the United States.”
Maude Hall’s vehicle registration office is also the place to register vehicles purchased from off-post Korean dealers.
Those wanting further details about vehicle registration and related matters can call the Vehicle Registration Office at 730-4494.
Streamlined 1930s GG1 electric locomotive of the Pennsylvania Railroad, in Union Station as part of the centennial celebrations. This is number 4935, from the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, nicknamed "Blackjack." Top speed of these art deco beauties was 100 mph; obviously we haven't progressed much beyond that today. Conditins were very dark and the locomotive was black, so I had a hard time getting a decent shot of it.

Marcel Berthet's "Vélodyne", built by the Avions Caudron (Caudron Airplane Company). Photo taken at the Parc des Princes (Paris) on September 9th, 1933, when Berthet covered a record 48.604 kms in one hour.
This former Illinois Central observation car was on stored on a siding waiting to be transferred to a private owner in Tampa, Florida, 1973. This car appears to have been built by the Pullman Company as a smooth side, welded steel, streamlined, lightweight observation car. This location is a few blocks to the West of Tampa Union station. The old car appears to be in fairly good shape with only a small amount of rust, but has quite a bit of pealing paint and some broken windows that are boarded up. The siding used for storage is a SCL track.
