#5 – Cool cutway.
#13 – Fucking taggers
#17 – Water tank around the boiler, I think
#18 – Interesting drive mechanism
#20 – Roll coal!
#16, I like the “saw horses” at the end of the track. That ought to stop a train from overshooting, sure thing.
Those of us vaccinated as kids appreciate this post.
True story. As I was opening the blog a desire for a train or RV post popped into my head, Viola, thank you kindly sir but no Thomas on a Christmas Train post. My granddaughter got her first this year.
Did you note that #11 was of a steamship called “City of Paris” engine room? Starboard side. I wonder what made the mess…
#3, loved the 2-8-x engines getting ready to start their day. They pull/push the engines far enough out of the roundhouse so the smokestacks don’t coke up the building as the locomotives are building steam. I was informed of this as a 6-year-old from a locomotive engineer in Sussex, England back in ’59. Learned a lot about steam when Dad was stationed in England for four years and I got to see live steam as a kid and what The Blitz did to England.
