| one of the last shovel-nosed engines een van de laatste "shovelnose" locomotiven Explanation: Looks like people often put 'shovel-nosed' or 'shovelnose' in quotes in both English and Dutch. 'Vergeleken met de eerdere passagiers locomotieven had de neus van de loc wel iets weg an een Bull-Dog, vandaar de bijnaam Bulldog Nose Units. Eerdere modellen werden 'Shovel Nose' of 'Slant Nose' genoemd vanwege de langere neus. Vandaag de dag is er nog één exemplaar aanwezig.' (http://modelspoor.ommering.com/spiderfield?start=9 ) 'De mooiste combinatie is natuurlijk de shovelnose met een E5B als versterking in de reguliere dienst ;) (en daar heb ik eens een foto van gezien, maar ik weet niet meer waar...)' + 'Dit omdat later in de late jaren '50 vele ge-articuleerde treinsets naar de scrapper gingen, terwijl de tractie nog even als losse locomotieven gebruikt werden, de silver charger zelfs tot de eind jaren'60, waarna het aan een museum geschonken werd en samen met de pioneer zephyr de enige overlevers zijn van het shovelnose hoofdstuk.' (http://forum.beneluxspoor.net/index.php?topic=1073.30 ) 'This unit was also the last 'shovel-nosed' locomotive in service.' (http://bigdaddydavesbitsandpieces.blogspot.co.uk/2010/11/end... ) 'This engine was built by the Budd Company and it was the last "shovel nosed" engine in service.' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKH2nHm8xJY ) 'Vanwege de bijzondere vorm van de locomotief kreeg de locomotief ook de bijnaam "shovelnose".' (http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Pass_&_Yukon_Route ) => (...) one of the last shovel-nosed engines. = (...) een van de laatste "shovelnose" locomotiven. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days18 hrs (2013-09-15 07:16:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- verander 'locomotiven' natuurlijk wel even in 'locomotieven' Example sentence(s):

Three more locomotives of the same type (class 90) were ordered in 1963, allowing the WP&YR to retire its last steam engines in 1964. Finally, the last three locomotives of the class (a little bit more powerful: 990hp) arrived in Alaska in 1966, bringing the total number of GE class 90 of the WP&YR to 11 (#90 to 100). These locomotives have been nicknamed Shovelnose because of the characteristic shape of their front end. All of them are still on the property today. http://drgw.free.fr/WP&YR/Engines/Diesel/Diesel_en.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days5 hrs (2013-09-14 18:31:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Vanaf het begin van de jaren dertig werden in Nederland en in andere landen treinen in dienst gesteld met een stroomlijnvorm. Ook in de VS werd dit soort materieel gebruikt, dat werd Streamliner genoemd. http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroomlijnmaterieel De streamliner is een serie spoorwegrijtuigen voor langeafstandstreinen in Noord-Amerika. Ook in Europa heeft soortgelijk materieel gereden. In Nederland werden deze treinen stroomlijnmaterieel genoemd. Het begrip streamliner staat in algemene zin voor een voertuig dat door de vorm een verminderde luchtweerstand heeft en daardoor hogere snelheden kan bereiken. In Europa is door de diverse spoorwegmaatschappijen vanaf 1930 stroomlijnmaterieel op de rails gebracht en ook de spoorwegen in de Verenigde Staten wilden de snelheid van de treinen opvoeren. De gestroomlijnde treinen werden een symbool van technische vooruitgang waaruit het begrip Streamline Design ontstond, zowel in de architectuur als in de vormgeving en bij vervoermiddelen. http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streamliner_(spoorwegen_Verenig... The General Pershing Zephyr was the ninth of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad's Zephyr streamliners, and the last built as an integrated streamliner rather than a train hauled by an EMD E-unit diesel locomotive. It was constructed in 1939 with bodywork and passenger cars by Budd Company and diesel engine, electric transmission, power truck, and other locomotive equipment by General Motors Electro-Motive Corporation.[1] Because its intended Kansas City, Missouri to St. Louis, Missouri route passed near the birthplace and boyhood home of famous World War I General John J. Pershing, the train was named after him. The power car was named Silver Charger, after Pershing's horse Charger, while the passenger cars were named after U.S. Army badges of rank—Silver Leaf, Silver Eagle, and Silver Star. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Pershing_Zephyr The Aerotrain was a streamlined trainset introduced by General Motors Electro-Motive Division in the mid-1950s.[1] Like all of GM's body designs of this mid-century era, this train was first brought to life in GM's Styling Section. Chuck Jordan was in charge of designing the Aerotrain as Chief Designer of Special Projects. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerotrain_(GM) The General Pershing Zephyr was the ninth and last in a series of "shovelnose" Zephyr streamliners operated by the Burlington, and the only one made up of non-articulated cars. The "shovelnose" Zephyrs were lighter and faster than their contemporaries, because they were made of lightweight stainless steel, to a unique "streamlined" design.[3] Although the earlier, articulated, versions of these trains had the further advantage of a reduced number of trucks (bogies),[4] and no couplers,[5] the General Pershing Zephyr's non-articulated configuration provided maximum flexibility and ease of maintenance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Star_Cafe_(Port_Hedland) shovelnoses http://www.railmodel.com/bulletins/chl/CBQ_BM_Shovelnoses.ht... |
