O_O What is that?!
There has been discussion about the info on this page in several places. They have been notified multiple times that their info for the picture is incorrect but it is never changed.Drivers on the Southern Pacific wore those when working routes with snow sheds because poor ventilation allowed carbon monoxide to seep into the cab. Basically, it's how train crews on some SP routes survived before the famous Cab Forwards were invented.
According to the page the picture is from, the tube connected to it may have been used to supply oxygen to the person wearing the mask. Systems like these were used by pilots in World War I.
On a point of information: that "tram in Munich" is actually in Bordeaux. The city is twinned with Munich, which is no doubt why this set is named "Ville de Munich".
LU S8 Stock, I like the interior, but the front end is just hideous, been around for a couple of years now and I still haven't got used to them.
I'm surprised that no one has put any trams up yet, this tram in Munich is pretty hideous.
They are diesel-hydraulic units. Picture a standard diesel-electric unit, then replace the generator with a pump and the ac/dc motors with hydraulic motors. The middle picture is what you get when you change a locomotive into a movie studio for making training movies (as in eduational, not just fun to watch).
I would say the fairlie type steam locomotive due to it's design and any German Steamers because of it's history and ties to the Holocaust.
This is a wind-up, yes?
Okay, the K4 and Mallard are great and the last loco is fine. It is very different but it still looks great! I guess it was the PRR's design before the T1?
