[@MasonRascona]

What are the blue uniforms worn by the fellas riding that speeder?

[@southernsteamproductions2460]

Rascona Railfanning I’m going to guess you mean the gentleman in the trench coats. I believe it’s a french(?) military uniform of sorts although I don’t know for sure

[@thomashambly3718]

Old French military/police uniforms

[@UA-51]

what was the name of that dark purple engine with the strange funnel?

[@southernsteamproductions2460]

Jordan Varkonda As far as I’m aware it was built by Decauville, however I don’t know what class it is.

[@jonathansmithCrabAuthor]

That would be Chuquitanta. It was built by Coulliet, a Belgian locomotive manufacturer, in 1885 and sold to Decauville as locomotive Number 36.

Some weird ( pointless ) contraptions ! i'd be too embarrassed to be anywhere near that mobile air tank ! Just quirkiness for quirkinesses sake !

[@southernsteamproductions2460]

The compressed air engine was for use underground where steam power would choke the workforce
