Same pic posted 3 times in 2 minutes Elvis, that's got to be a new record. ;D Seriously though, TinyPic has been a bit funny today, it kept telling me that last .jpeg I was trying to post was the wrong type of file, then on the fourth try it was accepted.   |

Its a reproduction of Stevenson's Rocket Nocky, I don't think they ever fire up the original anymore. Some of the standing engines they run on compressed air and not use the boiler, but thats a bit hard to do with a loco. Its not the pressure, compressed air doesn't lubricate and I don't think anyone wants to run along side with an oil can. Its a pity, because the boiler was the only weakness. The engines would run forever. They have got 200 year old beam engines that still work, fantastic pieces of machinery. Admitted, I think they only do about 120 stokes per hour flat out.

Cheers KC, very interesting. I think a couple of the old tin mines in Cornwall still have working beam engines.   |

Richard Trevithick was Cornish Nocky and he invented the high pressure steam engine. His first locomotive ran in 1804, so that would be over 200 years old now. I dont know if its still around, I think it blew up and killed a couple of fellers. The old Boulton and Watt beam engines, had been working in the pits long before that and I think there's a couple still working.

I could have given you a picture of a steam train, got dozens; hubby was one of the last steam firemen and is a real train buff.

Very good cut-outs KC, but for me, they look a bit bare on their own. A little bit of background would make a difference. Just my opinion. Nice "plastic" looking effect Elvis. Still getting that invalid file nonsense from TinyPic.   |
