Train on the tracks

     While snapping a few shots of the old yard engine at the Pittsburg, Texas Pilgrim Feed Mill, 

along came this BNSF freight picking up speed as the engineer fed the throttle to the three locomotives as they passed our position. The ground shook and the diesel smell filled the air as they rumbled on by.

Flitzer Biplane

The Flitzer series of biplanes designed by Lynn Williams of UK origin is most appealing in its structure as a vintage style from the early years of aviation. The fact of it flying on low power and relatively inexpensive Volkswagon engines make it much more appealing to the homebuilder. Personally, I favor the Provisional Z-4 design as it is the lightest and smaller of the Flitzer series.
