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.

OK, yes. I am a train / railway nerd. But this is too cool! The Norfolk & Western 611 will haul excursion in Virginia in June and July. www.virginiascenicrailway.com/rides/summer... #TrainMuseum #trains #museums #steam #steamengine #steamtrain #railway #railroad #railroad #history

The Union Pacific No.4014 "Big Boy," a 4-8-8-4 steam engine built in 1941, rolling over the Clio Trestle on 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!
