Rusted relics

[Dieselman 63]

I have rebuilt vintage marine Diesel engines and I've always wondered why these * train* engines take so long to start and produce so much smoke , can anyone explain why ?

* I know I just called it a train .

The Deltic you’ve replied to is different to most other railway locomotives because it has a unique engine format which is valveless, uniflow scavenged, features opposed pistons and is supercharged, not turbocharged. It’s a two stroke and as such is built from banks of the same power assembly arranged laterally.

It was also used in *boats* !

This relic of the past was rather impressively rusty today - Cleveland, Ohio, just a touch down the road from Erie Fred Walking down a street somewhere in the vicinity of the Browns's stadium, this this looked to be moving when viewed through the branches of a tree - had to stand still to realise it wasn't, and then work out what it was. Photo taken from a near enough 5000 ton (said so on the plaques at either end) steel frame bridge above it

From the radiator headed tank, I think it's an Albion.

Thanks may be a CX7 ?

All the photos of the cx7 seem to have a flat top to the windscreens. The angle on your photo looks too precise to be damage.

seddon atkinson /foden? uncle had similar .

Some of the AEC mamouth have the right roof, and some have the right profiling under the windscreen, but there seems to be no cross over time when they have the roof AND the profiling.

Time period is the 1940s it seems?

Turbine from the first functioning multi-phase power system in the world. 1895 Krka river, Croatia.

(The generator started operating 3 days after Niagra, however Niagra wasn't connected to the distribution network until 1896.)
