Dear folks!
As mentioned before, I spend an essential part of my leisure time as tinkerer and engine driver at a railroad museum.

Last weekend, we had our annual open house party. One of the highlights this year was the presentation of our newest engine, a 1967 built 16 hp Diesel shunter
(http://mkb-berlin.de/details/mkb_03.htm).
This is how she looked when we started restauration back in 2002:
Here's our chief engineer (he did the restauration more or less on his own) during the presentation ceremony:
As surprise for him, I have built a tiny but essential tool for this ridiculous small engine. Hidden by the cab, this is me mounting it:
This his how he reacted when he realized my naughty joke:
The colourful center of our open house:
The older the boys, the bigger their toys...
Cheers,
Markus.
