No other access so with some obstacles. Unimat 3000C, it is used to spread and compact gravel. With K-3 Mk III and HD 70mm Ltd.

Not street legal, but it would take many weekends to get this antique running. If you look closely, you can see the extensive wear on the treads which - a revelation to me - are rubber, not steel.

Actually the rubber is cast over steel on each link of the tracks. The idlers also have rubber bonded to the rims that the tracks run on.

My neighbor has recently parked this cool truck in the corner of his lot. My guess is 1967 without looking it up.

Seaside Train

Cross posted from Capture a stranger street style thread.
Railway buffs might spot that it is missing some connecting rods. Good job it is battery powered anyway.

Those little trains are always a hit with the kids. I'm reminded of the little train that they have at the Nowthen Historical Power Association grounds and if you have kids (or grand kids) get there early and they give longer rides before the crowds build. That one isn't electric but has a diesel engine powering it. All sorts of stuff to see and experience there. One of my favorites is the 13,000 c.i. 2 stroke 5 cylinder diesel Fairbanks engine that you more feel than hear. There there are the people with the kenmore or maytag gasoline powered washing machines (I forget which but it may be both) with all the attachments like the meat grinder, butter churn, or ice cream churn.

as are these smaller trains ( which also appeals to some who might be just " young at heart " )

The Model Train Gallery – visited by over one quarter of a million people annually — is designed, built, and maintained by Union Station Volunteers. Because of these dedicated volunteers, the Model Railroad runs year-round and nearly doubles in size during the Christmas holiday season. Eight different train scales, ranging from the smallest Z-Gauge to the largest G-Gauge, run simultaneously. And more than 80 total trains are running daily to capture the imaginations of model railroaders and casual fans of every age.

The only tank (a Sherman) I drove (all of 100 feet to remove it from the armoury) had rubberized tracks for use as a parade vehicle.

There are many of these car washes in the Bronx; they park by hydrants and set up shop.



These folks are prepared - shop vacs, power washers... I'll be tempted to try their services one day if I am not in a hurry.

A 2018 Bugatti Veyron - the cheapest model is $1.7 million US this year. Let's see, if I sell the house, can I get a mortgage on a car?

1930 Bentley Speed Six, sort of an earlier day version of the car above.. Image re-posted from some other thread years ago. The auction price of this car might exceed the new price of the Bugatti above (one sold for about 2.4 million USD, but value depends on a variety of details)
