Thread: Steam Buff Stuff

Then there's always the tractors at the Czech National Agricultural Museum for those more interested in mud.

I don't think anyone would not want to look, or get tired of seeing machinery like that Bob, post away.

Dave

One question Bob.
Why did you not take me with you?
I will settle for as many pics as you have though

Phil

HI,
I agree with Dave. Pleast Post away Bob, I for one am interested in seeing both the Steam Engines and the Tractors.

Is this what they call a Teaser so where are they Bob?? or do you need a certain No of replies first.

By the way, I forgot to mention.
Please include me on the "Support Group" for Steam Engines.
regards
Bruce

I will get something underway tonight. There are also some detail shots of the locomotives at the National Technical Museum in Prague if they may be of interest.
I have an abundance of photos, my fear is you lot getting bored.

The little Coolpix lens doesn't have a short enough focal length to capture some of the machines in their entirety. Vignettes will have to suffice. Sorry Fellas.

Thanks BT for posting that,

What a beautiful machine, love those greek columns, are they doric or ionic? might be doric I think..

PS No shortage of torque either, 160 hp at 160 rpm must be 5252 foot-lbs of torque!!!!

Just glimpses.

Thanks Bob thats a superb example of workmanship as well as preservation. To think they designed built and operated it without the aid of computers, internet or a forum.

Bob are you still OS or home as having read about the present winter over there and seeing some of the snow and ice its bitter.

Doric, the most simple. Ionic has the scrolls like ram's horns.
