Dark Roasted Blend: Cool Road-Rail Vehicles

Dark Roasted Blend: Cool Road-Rail Vehicles | Päivät | Scoop.it

Often referred to as "Hy-Rail", or "Hi-Rail", these dual purpose vehicles (able to travel on rails, as well as highways) can be fascinating to both train geeks and car collectors. The liberating idea of putting your car to rails, when the road ends or ceases to be an option, is good news to any off-road enthusiast. What's more, the cool looks of some extremely rare vintage conversions may stir some childhood memories and maybe prompt you to spot the surviving ones and restore them.

Road-Rail Vehicles use a combination of standard and flanged wheels (which could be raised or lowered), and are widely used by railroad companies to inspect the tracks, or drop off workers and equipment.

The Flying Duck Orchid - Australia's Other Amazing Anatine Attraction

The Flying Duck Orchid - Australia's Other Amazing Anatine Attraction | Päivät | Scoop.it

The Caleana is more often known as the Duck Orchid – and for fairly obvious reasons.  It looks like a duck in flight, its wings swept back, head and beak held high and proud. This attractive yet amusing addition to the orchid genus is a native of Australia, famed perhaps more for its marsupials than its mallards (platypodes aside).  Yet as a result of the shape of its labellum (or lip) its anatine association will be that by which it is always remembered.
