Outs seem to have been sold off to small grain and freight operators and used as spares/cheap extras, until they die

Are round nosed trains still common in America?

Love the look, but they're an old style and seen less and less in Australia..

For reference, you can see the expansion works on the right of this photo, new bridge built for the third line project through here.

very much so. The comment posted on flickr suggests a possible turbo problem? Anyone know if there is any story behind this?

Theres a lot more bullshit here than just that..

A lot of those appear to be residential or business fittings.This is wiring inside private properties, done by contractors or often owners themselves.

I'm not sure if they've scheduled for 2013 yet, but its always around this time of year, so April/May next year is when it should be on.

Unfortunately I only could take photos on Saturday, and the great train race is on Sunday, but it sounds awesum:

The Great Train Race features steam engines 3526 and 3265 running parallel together whilst racing two Tiger Moth aeroplanes. Your journey will start in Maitland for the relaxed trip into Newcastle or Broadmeadow, ahead of the action of the race back to Maitland.

I'm not even sure which one won this year! :)

Steamfest Website Steam Fest is a function run every year for the last few years in Maitland, NSW. It is a 2 day event, They run 2 separate trains, this is one of them. They have a number of just short runs (Newcastle -> Maitland, Maitland -> Braxton, etc), they have a special long distance excursion that I believe involved a meal on board in the dining car, etc. On the final day they have the "Great Train Race", where they race a Tiger Moth and one of the steamers. They also run a passenger diesel on a parallel line for 2 of the runs each day for photographers, follows the steamer end to end. This is taken from a foot bridge over the line, I didn't end up going on any of the trains sadly, but maybe next year :)

ELI5: continuously variable transmissions by VIDGuidein explainlikeimfive

Ah, now this makes it make sense :) So the 1-6 options in "manual mode" on the selector are "virtual" ratios, the computer controlling it basically forces some preset ratios to create gears in this mode?

I took it as it was all a hallucination as per what you said, Ted just waited until the exact last moment of his life to deliver the glove, so as to ensure it would be found as intended..
