Planes, Trains, Cars, and Ships (SFW)

I didn’t know F-14 can still fly with one wing swept back.

That’s fucking amazing.

China Railways NJ2 Class/GE C38ACHe

Chinese version of the American made Dash 9-44CW, but with more horsepower

Just a question…

Does anybody have any kind of WW1 picture or atleast some little information about the usage of semi-automatic rifles (Like the Farquhar-Hill, Mondragón M1908 or the Mauser Selbstlader M1916) in early war ‘fighter’ (Or more accurately; ‘Armed reconnaissance’) aircraft during the Great War? Before the appereance of synchronization gear that allowed aircraft to fire through the spinning propeller blades? I’ve read a bit that rifles like that were used to have some offensive degree against enemy aircraft, but I can’t seem to find anything corroborating that information…

made in Pennsylvania for services on the Plateau

C5 Galaxy is huge.

Caught something unexpected yesterday while railfanning. An Etihad Rail SD-70ACS which is here for servicing I guess (the Etihad logos have been temporarily covered). Needless to say it’s a long ways from home.

So this is Union Pacific’s new paint scheme and I have say…

It just makes their locomotives look older rather than newer.

Also, these are photos taken inside a CRRC factory in China, showing SEPTA and EXO’s Bilevel Coaches.

retro paint scheme is quite a thing

Su-30SM, Su-35s, Su-34.

Don’t forget the black sheep of the family

Literally…

The Sukhoi Su-47 “Berkut”, which is honestly awesome as flak.

I have a miniature toy of that.

Cursed single tail F-14.

Can bikes go here?

While everyone’s all about P-51s, Spitfires, and Messers… Imo this is my favorite WWII warplane.

The P-38 Lightning.

But of course, there’s no one stopping you from posting any bike image or something, have fun~

Does those Messerschmitts count fot that, if so, I’m kinda guilty xp

Messerschmitt Bf-110

Messerschmitt Me-410

If anything, I love very much heavy fighters/fighter bombers like those, the Kawasaki Ki-45, Bristol Beaufighter, Petlyakov Pe-2/Petlyakov Pe-3… But probably my favourite is the Grumman F7F Tigercat, probably one of the best prop heavy fighters:

@FliegerFaustToP47
Very overrated plane.

…Yeh, I guess you’re right, still, I like that aircraft, I just love heavy fighters in general~ even though they’re kinda crappy against single-engined fighters, rip Bf-110s in the BoB

I also like the Focke-Wulf Fw-57, and I think that one isn’t overrated, I would be surprised if anyone knew of it :p

And I also like the Focke-Wulf Fw-187 Falke tbh I think it would’ve been better than the Bf-110 but oh well

@FliegerFaustToP47
No need to waste my time for long posts. I never said I hated it. I just find it too popular.

EMD DDA40X

The largest Diesel-Electric Locomotive built only here in United States.

Oh, but I never said that you said you hated it, I was actually pointing out that it was indeed popular, sorry for the misunderstatement, my bad, and really sorry for wasting your time >.<’

Anywho ballyhoo, so, changing subjects. Maxim Gorky I Coastal Battery in Sevastopol, Ukraine. The turret is a post-war restoration with a Frunze’s battleship turret.

This ain’t no photoshop, this the McTrain that started in 1992 on Germany’s Deutsche Bundesbahn, it was canned in 1995 due to lack of popularity; ultimately becoming a failed concept
