Look for the Everest base camp tents in the lower foreground. It's busy up there! ;)

interesting :y but I wouldnt freeze myself in that rock and snow desert ::)
-
Even on my little lap top thats amazing quality.

doesn't work on gay phone

Actually, it's only when you zoom in on them that the scale of the image becomes clear
Nice

I wonder who owns the corner shop ??? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Excellent post

Cool! 8)
Base camp looks more like a refugee camp, very different to what you imagine. I couldn't spot the McDonald's or Starbucks though... :-\
-
Amazing .. and the quality is so good even on zooming in .. took me ages to find the base camp though !!!
-
That is one amazing scene and so clear. I've a good mine to put that on my desktop.
I don't think the Google car has been in on this one; they must use a fraction of two billion pixels! :y :y :y
Good one Nick! :y :y :y :y
-
Ok, I give up where's Base Camp? ???
-
Aha! I found some permanent structures! Must be the McDonald's and Starbucks!! ;D

This one is VERY clever ... take some time exploring ...

Apparently .. if you swing the loco to the "correct" position (whatever that is) then zoom in on the girl in the control booth, the quality is so high you can actually read the time on her watch !!! I wasted spent 5 minutes trying .. but failed miserably .... :(

Nice one tunnie .. you either knew where to look, have a great deal of luck, or simply have far more patience than I do !!!
:y :y :y

well going from your post of control booth, I was looking at the outer buildings. But then saw booth that rotated with train. Looked around on that, what helped though was my work internet connection. Took few seconds to load each image, which speeded things up :)
-
I am further amazed!!
That picture is so clear that I have been able to study the machine shop markings on the engines rods, the individual screws and bolts, along with seeing exactly where the Rustoleum is missing on the frames! It is like I am back in the day when I used to rub down and paint those parts and find the marks of various engines on the one locomotive.
Fantastic!! Thanks Entwood :y :y
This will keep me busy for hours! :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y

The detail when zooming in is fantastic! I can identify the following:
On this German Deutsche Reichsbahn engine, No.38 112-5 with it's tender weighs in at 120 tonnes, with the tender holding 21.5m3 of water and 7 tonnes of coal. It appears she last passed an inspection for main line running, after being given a major overhaul, on the 21.4.95.
A wheel boss is stamped "1912", which I suspect is when the wheel centre axle was pressed into the wheel centres during her original build.
The main brake blocks for the main drivers are marked with a pattern number "39", being sized "30x400", which I believe is 30cm x 400cm.
In the radius rod on the Walschaert's valve gear there is an "R" inscribed which logically means "Recht" in German for "right", and designates the side of the engine it belongs to.
On the left of the engine markings on the motion are not clear, but as with the right side, all the gravity fed oilers seem to be well connected and I assume in full working order. There is just a feeder pipe (copper) from the oiler that appears to be damaged on the left hand crosshead.
Although the engine would appear to be in good condition there is some worrying rust bubbles on the tender sides where the internal baffle plates meet the outer skin. Some serious welding, or complete tender replacement (common with preserved British engines) is required soonest. Reminds you rather of the rear wheel arches of Senators and Miggies!
Unfortunately, as hard as I try, I cannot find a readable builders plate. I suspect there is one on the right hand tender frames, but it has been so covered in Rustoleum it is unreadable.
I would welcome more comment from steam locomotive enthusiasts who specialise in continental engines, and especially those of German origin. :y :y
