Dieselpunk Encyclopedia presents:Gotham City is the virtual capital of Dieselpunk. Once a nickname of New York City, introduced by good old Washington Irving in early 19th century (and derived from a Nottinghamshire village famous for its simpletons), it obtained an all-new meaning in 1930s, evolving into a synonym of all things dark. Modern Gotham can be found far from Manhattan. With a sharp eye and a bit of…See More

Sunday Streamline #51: Electric Eels

This shot was taken more than two decades ago:The trainsets don't look outdated even today. But they were built before WWII. In the 1930s the Italian state railways, Ferrovie dello Stato, electrified the main line Milan-Bologna-Florence-Rome-Naples and needed a fast train to use on it and on other newly-electrified lines. The ETR 200 project was started in 1934, using new technologies for…See More

LK My favorite brand is Ronson. Several of their designs have the similar lines to the Lowey features of the lococmotives you show frequently. I will send you some photos. I just saw the website for the first time today. I…

In 1939, many European powers could boast a fighter plane equal or even superior to the German Bf 109. And Belgium was no exception.Alas, the superiority was achieved mostly on paper. In fact, "wonderfighters" designed in Poland and Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and Netherlands were either unfledged, or produced in insufficient numbers, or both. And Belgium, again, was no exception. In some alternate…See More

Lord K's Garage #123: Albion. Sure as the Sunrise

Ladies and gentlemen! Omnibuses, coaches and lorries from Glasgow, Scotland!Albion Motors, founded in 1899, were amongst the great survivors of the British vehicle industry and, especially, of the indigenous Scottish motor industry - many early companies failed and it was only in the 1960s that there was a vain attempt to re-introduce mass vehicle production into Scotland with Rootes at Linwood…See More

Posted on February 3, 2012 at 6:30am 0 Comments 1 Favorite

This small streamline sedan was built by Hannoversche Maschinenbau AG.

Meet Oberleutnant Max (Maximilian Karl) Hesse.

Here he is, holding a dog, with Leutnant Rudolf Stanger. Hesse was not an ace but he had an illustrious war career, crash-landing in the enemy territory in 1914 and being the pilot of the first plane in history which corrected artillery fire through wireless messages (Jan. 12, 1915). Promoted to Hauptmann, he was…

I just saw the website for the first time today. I went back several issues and the train features are right in line with the look of many lighters of the 20's and 30's. I will contribute a some point after I get a feel for the site. I am pretty good with the computer but some of the techniques necessary add articles may take me a bit.............My father inlaw sent me the site 'cause he knows my love of cars and the time period.
