From Tony Alderman:
Nothing to do with trains but this video might amuse you: Fordson snow-motor This is a rare video of an invention that never went very far. Wait until you see the automobile version it is all on here. 1926 Snow Tractor. Talk about ingenuity! This is a 1926 silent film (on video) of a tractor-snow-machine invented by Henry Ford, shown here driving it. It's long (10 Minutes), but well worth seeing. Watch the whole thing. Note the "hat." Tony.

From Tony Rest:
Andrew, I was just saying to Martyn how good our clubhouse and site were, when I received my copy of “Live Steam” (an American Magazine) and saw an article on Train Mountain. It looks as though their steaming bay is about the size of our whole site on Stoke Park. It kind of out did our setup in a big way!! I think it would be worth putting that site on our web site. Train Mountain.
(A hugely impressive railway, but I was somewhat surprised at their train protection procedure and, I assume, little or no fixed signalling. Andrew)

From Andy Sleigh:
Some stunning miniature aircraft modelling. Click on the small pictures to see the detail.

From George Clark:
Andrew, not sure if many GMES members will be interested in this, a recently preserved steam loco in Japan. The bar on the bottom left increases the sound if moved to the right. As always ruined by the noise of the cameras of the coach load of photographers all clicking away.
(It's nice to see that steam loco preservation extends to the far east. Scroll down to "Full steam ahead for restored train along Kyushu tourist route". I had problems with download speed on this one. Let it run hesitatingly to the end, then re-play for the uninterrupted version. Andrew)


Previous recommendations:

From Andy Sleigh, a nice railway story from BTF in two parts: Farmer Moving South, part 1 Farmer Moving South, part 2.

From Peter Brierley:
There is a most interesting website I have come across which shows many and varied small stationary engines, hot air, flame engines and 2 and 4 stroke i/c engines. Jan Ridders will provide plans on request f.o.c. Perhaps you would post the link on our website for interested members. Jan Ridders Modelbouw.
