Spitfire, RIAT 2018.

Bombardier Itino Y31 I photographed in Karlstad, Sweden.

"During war-time it can be useful to be able to run vehicles on coal gas (also known as town gas, which contained hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane, and ethylene) because it's made from, well, coal rather than oil, which tends to be in short supply."

1. Refuelling in Quemado, which doesn't look exactly like IRL but has exactly the same vibe.
2. This rare locomotive sure gets around a lot.
3. Hi Saddle Picnic Site. Always stop there.
4. Arrow Tree. Didn't stop this time as I've already read the sign.

Photos from a visit to RAF Museum, Hendon, in 2018.

On my list of places to visit.

In this case it's "their" only because they bought the company which used to make them. Last ones were made in Germany, but otherwise it's a completely Swedish product.

Some passenger trains in Malmö, Sweden.
Not recently, so I'm not sure, but I think the one I was waiting for is the one in the 2nd photo background.

Not much, and mostly because ERTMS was new. Why do ask?

Two de Havilland Tiger Moths in different Swedish Air Force trainer schemes at an airshow in Sweden.

A Volvo LV224 which helpfully tell us it's made in 1954.
Note that LV224 isn't a bus model; It's a chassis which the customer could build a truck or bus on.

Bombardier Regina X55 in Umeå, Sweden.

Photos from a visit to Musee de l'Air et de l'Espace, Paris.

Locomotives on display in Germany.

Bloodhound missile outside museum in Norrtälje, Sweden.
(Or maybe it's a missileshaped training object rather than a deactived missile. I forgot to ask.)

Dragon.

Passenger train in Arboga, Sweden.
Locomotive is an Rc6 built by ASEA in 1985. 76 ton, 3600 kW, 160 km/h.
This was this time of year, but a few years ago, so I'm not sure but I think there was another at the other end to avoid need for run around. I think only EMUs on this route now.

A Swedish diesel hydraulic switcher class Z65 built by Kalmar Verkstad in 1963 photographed in Norrköping.
When they were new they had Rolls Royce engines, later they have gotten Scania Vabis, Deutz and/or like this one Cummins.
28 ton, 60 km/h, 280 kW.

Industrial battery electric loco on preserved Swedish narrow gauge railway Jädraås-Tallås Järnväg. This was the summer week with forest fire risk, so no steam locomotives.
Built 1917 for a 6 km railway with ~6 km range at 13 km/h. In daily use until 1951 and as backup in 1960s. Now new batteries.

#Ferret photo from long ago.

Bombardier Regina X55 departing Hallsberg, Sweden.
This is the "high speed version", but it's more like the "long distance version" because 200 km/h is max allowed in Sweden.
6 h is the longest journey I've made on these.

The mausoleum itself wasn't lost (it's a big mound mentioned in texts), but nobody knew there was a terracotta army outside it.

NSB type 69D, Oslo, when I visited Norway a few years ago.

Could be this guy, born 1883 in Fellingsbro, single, worker and "unknown address" in 1910. Can't find him in the 1890 nor 1900 censuses (don't understand why not), so no idea how to find relatives, but theoretically possible since we've got good records since 1648.

The problem with a first strike when you're massively unequal is how to know when the time is right. Unfortunately that problem doesn't go away just because the enemy uses just a single rather small one.

Min försiktiga uppfattning är att det handlar om *vi* följer regler — och det finns ju saker som kombattanter inte får göra om man följer reglerna som det ändå är bra om det finns nåt slags statlig ordningsmakt som gör i t ex sjukhus. Plus att Speer Gold Dot och tårgas blir krigsbrott.
Lösbart, men…

Och man måste ha lok som bl a har dansk radio (ersätter kokplattan i X2) och klarar danska strömsystemet. Kan lösas, men vad som man kanske inte kan är att ordna mer kapacitet över bron.

Swedish narrow gauge steam locomotive "Tallås", built in 1898 and in commercial service until 1969, has just departed station Tallås headed towards Jädraås, on preserved railway Jädraås – Tallås Järnväg, when I was there a rainy summer day.

Resterna av en annan fäbod en liten bit från den på förra bilderna, men jag kan inte komma ihåg att det fanns nån skylt om när den senast användes eller nåt sånt.
