Not only watching the steam train today… #SteamTrain #SteamEngine

Steam power was one of the most significant developments of the Industrial Revolution (1760-1840) in Britain. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2166/the-steam-engine-in-the-british-industrial-revolut/ #History #BritishIndustrialRevolution #IndustrialRevolution #SteamEngine

Okay, so I found this at the antique store yesterday and had to have it. It's a liquor bottle with shot glasses train! I could not pass that up. #train #alcoholtrain #choochoo #antique #steamengine #traindecor

Sohvi-veturi palaa varikolle päivän puksutuksen jälkeen. Jokioisten museorautatie, Minkiön asema. #höyryveturi #museorautatie

Sohvi the steam engine heading for a well-earned rest after a day of huffing and puffing. Museum railway in Jokioinen, Finland. #SteamEngine

Vor 4 Wochen weg geschickt und heute retour !

Seit dem fährt sie auch wieder.

Jetzt braucht das BW hier dann doch den Rheingold 😀

to the steam engine operators: have you ever had stale boiler water that was green?
(I evaporated distilled water in a ratio of 3:1 with citric acid/descaler). But the running properties have not improved?🤔

(rt might be helpful^^)

an die Dampfmaschinenbetreiber: hattet ihr auch schon mal abgestandenes Kesselwasser, das grün war?
(habe destilliertes Wasser im Verhältnis 3:1 m Zitronensäure/Entkalker verdampft).Aber die Laufeigenschaften sind nicht besser geworden?🤔

I've been restoring a #SteamEngine which once powered a local #CottonMill. The acoustics in the engine house are really weird. You can't have a conversation in there, it just echoes into sound; however music sounds really good for some reason.
I've also been learning to play the #HurdyGurdy.
You can see where this is going. Echoey, very very echoey, but quite good non the less.

The centrifugal governor on a vintage steam traction engine whizzing around. It's blurred by fast movement.

Steam Locomotive 924 out on Fathers Day at Northwest Railway Museum in Snoqualmie, WA. It was an awesome sight to see! 🚂 📷 Also I don't know if #TrainTuesday is a thing, but it feels right #Photography #SonyAlpha #PNW #Trains #SteamEngine

A little off-topic video for you today, if you like your steam engines - the #FlyingScotsman came through #Nuneaton yesterday. Here it is departing the station on its return journey to London Euston:

I play weekend #telephoneEngineer at the #DeanForestRailway #steam #railway - it’s all fun and games until a #steamEngine starts a small lineside fire directly on top of the #telephone cable!

This damage took out phones at 3 stations, and the token machine used by our #signalBoxes

Luckily it wasn’t too hard to get to, and we had a suitable length of scrap cable we could joint in as a temporary fix

Jointing grease filled cable in the sunshine… there are worse ways to spend a Saturday!

Santa Maria Valley Steam Locomotive X205 2-6-2

Built by Baldwin in 1924 and lovingly restored by George Lavacot and his friends in a process that took 40 years, this steam locomotive is once again alive and thundering down the rails! The engine now lives with the Albany & Eastern railway in Lebanon, Oregon.

Spent the morning polishing the mechanical oiler from Leigh Spinners Mill #SteamEngine then this afternoon gave the #HurdyGurdy a polish too.
Don't know what it is about weird overly complicated crank driven contraptions, but there's clearly something.

A day of work at the s/s Turso in Silakkalaituri, Helsinki.

In other news, this year is the centenary of the building of Flying Scotsman. I'm not sure which bits - if any - have survived the 100 years but she still makes a fabulous sight. And she draws the crowds!
