Design it, build it, test it, RIGHT and it will work…
Might have to put this up at my desk.

The first locomotive built at Crewe went into service in 1843. By 1846 the demand for space was such that wagon building was moved, first to Edge Hill and Manchester, then to a new works at Earlestown. By 1848 the works employed over 1,000 producing one locomotive a week.

Progress continues on the East Side Access project as of February 12, 2013.

This photo shows work on the caverns underneath Grand Central Terminal that will house a future concourse for arriving and departing Long Island Rail Road trains.

Reading through the tech regs, I think that teams are aiming the regulated last 100mm of the tailpipe up far enough from the body so the area where bodywork is not allowed (purple) does not include the nub at the end (green) to allow for the bridge (as I call it).

As the exhaust (dark blue) exits the tailpipe, the coanda effect tends to keep the air flowing along the surface (teal) and towards the corner of the floor back there, but the bridge strengthens this effect (light teal).

I suspect in this picture they’re doing a baseline test without the bridge then went out again again with it to compare like Merc GP did.

Yeah, pointing the ‘truncated cone’ high was Caterham’s approach
