Can we please stop hotlinking pics?

Am I the only one that sees a bunch of Penske Camaro inspiration in the latest Singer Porsche?

Original:

Harp Gun in Yuma, AZ.  When it was last fired in 1992, it was at 89 1/2 degrees azmuth to keep it on the property.  The ground rippled like you tosses a rock in a lake.

The gun at top left is a 16" Navy gun.

 

This one is in Barbados:

 

I played a paintball game around that last year. It was known to cause broken windows at great distances way back when it worked.

That thing is awesome. Added to my list of things to see in person.

Gotta wonder what Baldwin was thinking with the  DR-12-8-3000 "Centipede".

It's just a joke.  Relax.

That's the link that I was missing! Historical precedent helps the new one make more sense.

True, they did have tremendous tractive effort. But the weight of them beat the hell out of even the most well-built railbeds. And they were a maintenance nightmare, due to Baldwin continuing to build them like a steam locomotive and not standardize component placement. Even Union Pacific, buyer of large powerful locomotives, couldn't be bothered with them. They borrowed Baldwin's 2 demonstrators for something like a year, then sent them back to Baldwin and never ordered any and the demonstrators got cut up after failing to find a home.

Best part is that Baldwin was not dissuaded by poor sales of the DR-12-8-3000 (only 2 major US carriers, Seaboard Air Line and Pennsylvania bought them),and was looking at building a 6000hp variant that mount 8 750hp DeLa Vergne V8s in it. They built a single one, although it only had half the engines installed, and then after no one seemed interested, they cut it up and parted it out.
