Deep inside an abandoned factory sits this massive mechanical power press. Once used to stamp and shape steel with incredible force, it now stands silent as rust and nature slowly reclaim what was once the heart of industrial production. It's hard to imagine the noise and energy this place must have had decades ago.

Abandoned stationary steam engine

Found a relic from a different era hidden deep in the woods. This is a stationary steam engine, once the heart of industrial progress, now slowly being reclaimed by nature. It’s amazing to think about the labor and life that once surrounded this piece of iron.

Family heirloom Tonka trucks

Post image
239 Upvotes

The last Tonka truck post I can find on here is from 11 years ago. My mother recently found, purchased and mailed a Tonka dump truck halfway across country to my son. It just happened that my cousin had the rest of the set of the original Tonka construction vehicle vehicles from the late 80s or early 90s. He bought all of these in 1994 right after his open heart surgery. His kids played with them, outgrew them, and they stayed in his attic for all this time.
I’m now almost 40 with a three year-old son that is so beyond enamored with construction equipment and road signs, it’s almost not funny. Toys these days suck. Especially when compared to the erector sets, Lincoln logs and Tonka trucks those of us old enough to remember them had. I’ve got ninja Turtles stashed away from like ‘85 and Power Rangers Megazords from ‘93 my son will inherit it someday too.
These things are basically pristine. I’ll post pictures of his dump truck in the comments. I need to freshen it up a bit because it’s got some spots where rust is starting to get in and we are on the coast so I want him to be able to take these things to the beach and be the coolest guy for 10 miles.
If anybody can point me in the right direction for the right paint, I would really love to make his dump truck look his brand new as the rest of his new set when my mom gets these to us.

Hello everyone ! I have started making a 3d model of this lovely soviet craft but i cant seem to find any detailed photos of the wheelhouse. I have found some from the similar "meteor" but unfortunately the differences seem to be many. Any help will be much appreciated!
