A lady engineer? You 'betcha!

Simone was the first woman in NSW and, I believe, Australia to become qualified as a steam driver. She is seen here driving BB 18-1/4 loco, 1072 on the fabulous ZigZag Railway, at Lithgow, West of Sydney. I was lucky to have a cabride with her, and fireman, Colin back in 2005. She is now qualified as a mainline steam driver, to my knowledge, again, the first (I hope of many).

Meet Michael Grab!

 

 Michael Grab has an unusual profession. It takes dedication, patience and a light touch. He stacks rocks in such unique formations that some onlookers think they're fake.

Take a road trip across Nebraska and travel back in time to the 1840's as you experience one of the most influential eras in American history: The Oregon Trail. From Lincoln, head west to Fort Kearny to restock, rest up, and take in some sustenance. You'll follow the North Platte River to California Hill, your first major challenge on the Oregon Trail. As you ascend the hill, you'll see wagon ruts that have been pristinely preserved in the hillside for nearly 200 years. But the challenges are only beginning. Just 20 miles past California Hill, you'll need to descend Windlass Hill - a staggering 47% grade. At the bottom of the hill, catch your breath at Ash Hollow Spring, a popular "rest stop" on the Oregon Trail that provided settlers with a source of pure, clean drinking water. Continue on to Courthouse and Jail Rock, as well as Chimney Rock, before ending your journey across Nebraska at Scottsbluff National Monument, just a stone's throw from the Wyoming border.

Friday Night Steam

How about some wonderful vintage steam for tonight?

 

 

Beamish Museum is the first regional open-air museum, in England^] located at Beamish, near the town of Stanley, in County Durham, England. Beamish pioneered the concept of a living museum. By displaying duplicates or replaceable items, it was also an early example of the now commonplace practice of museums allowing visitors to touch objects.

The museum's guiding principle is to preserve an example of everyday life in urban and rural North East England at the climax of industrialisation in the early 20th century. Much of the restoration and interpretation is specific to the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, together with portions of countryside under the influence of industrial revolution from 1825. On its 350 acres (140 ha) estate it uses a mixture of translocated, original and replica buildings, a large collection of artifacts, working vehicles and equipment, as well as livestock and costumed interpreters.

What it was like to drive a car in the 1890's????

 

 

 Let's take a closer look at what it was like to drive a car in the 1890s Cars were just a couple of years old and there were many difficulties to overcome. Which car designs existed back then? Which common technical issues did cars have? Why was a car so unpopular?
