🚂 Putin’s Russia in the 21st century: The “second-best army in the world” has run out of fuel, and steam locomotives have been hauled out of the motherland’s reserves to keep logistics running. Because yes, the actual logistical capacity of those who challenge the world with hypersonic missiles on propaganda TV is just a steam train. Soon, they will likely be unpacking airships and horse-drawn carriages from the 1920s. The return to the USSR—so lauded by “patriots”—is proceeding at breakneck speed. TL;DR: Ukraine professionally severed the arteries of the Putinstan economy, blasting the whole country back to the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. PS: some say the video is old, lack of leaves on the trees... | 102 comments on LinkedIn

Oh noo! There is an accident with the train. Hope everybody is OK, cuddles for whoever needs them!

And now we have to wait for "rail replacement traffic"?

At least we can look at this old train in its retirement home! It is cuddly big!

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.

Eine historische Dampflokomotive der Baureihe 023 durchfährt eine malerische Tunnelkette im Pegnitztal. Die Region in der Fränkischen Schweiz ist bekannt für ihre reizvolle Landschaft und die anspruchsvolle Eisenbahnstrecke, die sich entlang des Flusses windet.
An einigen Stellen, wie in der Nähe von Velden oder Rupprechtstegen, ergeben sich für Fotografen und Eisenbahnfreunde beeindruckende Blicke durch mehrere Tunnelportale gleichzeitig.

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.
