Sunday, November 20. 2011Trivia quiz (Clue - Signalling)When in the UK recently I visited the museum at the Severn Valley Railway. This interesting piece of hardware was in the signalling section. Similar items to this were part of the rules test when I was firing on a preserved line in the UK some years ago.  Strange object Who can explain what it is?

Buzz Morisette submitted the following images and he used PHOTO SHOP to embed caption info within each pic. So to get the 'rest of the story', click the thumbnails (twice in sequence) to get the full screen images and read the story. This series of images deals with getting the ENGINATOR up and running, an internal combustion engine to generate 32 volts for the car.  Roll Out Rails Buzz and Chuck Trabert doing the work.  Pulling it Out Chuck tugging with Buzz under the engine.  Running Check and Larry Keuhan getting satisfaction.  Engine Temperature  The Reward |
