Let us imagine, for a moment, a #CarbonFree #SteamEngine
A #Locomotive , for pulling a #train.
We would be doing this for #fun wouldn't we, so #efficiency is not a major concern, and even #effectiveness is not the main constraint.
First off and really easy is what the #LondonUnderground, the#Tube, did in early days - make the boiler and firebox rather hot, use that to generate steam to propel the thing undergound, heat it up again when you get back into fresh air.
No need to use #Coal now.

Can anyone identify what the engine is on this quarter’s MERG magazine? The credit is simply “Adobe Stock”, it looks a real mess in terms of what parts are where, wondering if it is AI 😕
This is my last MERG magazine, I’ve been a member for about 4 years but let it lapse last month because although the articles are fairly interesting, I’ve never ordered any of their kits and don’t intend to.

Here's a shot of the 4014 before it passed under me to enter the Williams Loop in the Feather River Canyon of Northern California. It was really boiling steam and smoke chugging up hill in the Sierra.

The nice and steamy Union Pacific No.4014 "Big Boy," a 4-8-8-4 steam engine built in 1941, rolling through the Sierra along the historic Feather River Route in Northern California this morning.

I was hoping for some steam action because it was cool and humid, as compared to two years ago when the 4014 last traveled this route, but I didn't expect this!

The Union Pacific No.4014 "Big Boy," a 4-8-8-4 steam engine, rolling along the southern edge of the Black Rock playa in Nevada this morning. The 4014 was built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) in Schenectady, New York, in 1941.

The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad is a narrow-gauge steam railroad providing a step back to the Old West with mountain vistas, deep canyons, high trestles, and tunnels, running seasonally from late May to October. Jointly owned by Colorado and New Mexico, it features vintage steam locomotives and offers different trip lengths for guests.

The unusual feature of this locomotive is the single huge driving wheel. Physics suggests this would allow high speed working, and indeed the engine pulled passenger trains at 70mph or more.

I'm confident that this device, if it exists at all, is a modern sculpture. But the image has been circulating for more than twenty years, so the notion appeals to somebody. Behold, the steam-powered sex machine!
