The Twentieth Century
Online Exhibition: Historical Snapshots and Sketches It is impossible to succinctly summarize the 20th century. However, memorable phrases can characterize pivotal moments. Churchill’s "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat" is undoubtedly one of them. "An American airplane dropped a bomb on Hiroshima, destroying its usefulness to the enemy" (President Harry S. Truman on August 6, 1945) is another. In 1961, Frantz Fanon predicted that there would be no single […]#locomotive — Public Fediverse posts

Flying Scotsman 60103
First you see the steam…
Billowing over the woodland,
Greyer even than the drizzling sky.The sound comes next –
A speeding metronome; tick chuff tick chuff,
And the roar of her every part…Pushing the air aside.
A processed still from the video linked belowYou can see a rather wobbly handheld video – how to tell people you don’t really ‘do’ video – by clicking this link

[1] effective: railways typically are moved by friction between driven wheels held down by a big heavy #locomotive and the #rails. This fails at some #angle and that applies in the #SouthWest approaches include a direct drive with a cog rail; adding more driven wheels, weight, etc; or substituting a direct push.
#Brunel did that with a piston in a cylinder (or two of each) with air behind it at 15psi and no (hardly any) air in front. No need for weight on the #tractor, less tonnes to haul up...

RIP Thomas the Tank Engine. A rusting abandoned steam train, left in a decaying depot. I wonder what the original paint colour was; now not a trace remains.

Shooting my shot here for #railway and #ModelRail enthusiast but also #trains junkies over here. Does anyone have any ideas of good places to look for technical drawings of the SCB Ed 2x2/2 or, even better the Landquart-Davos G 2x2/2 #Scaletta #SteamLocomotive ??
The scaletta has an absolute look to it. I found some very basic drawings https://archive.org/details/Scaletta/page/n4/mode/1up but with the wrong #engine... I got the railstock tho 💗
I'm following advice I got that steam engines are quite nice to learn cadding (and machining) on because they got a shit ton of easy to model bits and get to more and more complex shapes in a logical fashion, and for machining they are way easier to run than internal combustion stuff so mistakes and hacks won't scrap everything.
I don't plan on doing any machining tho, I really wanna try my hands at cadding pieces.
Of course if you have good technical drawings of another engine I'm all for it too💗
