DIESELPUNK How about this pencil sharpener by the great industrial designer Raymond Loewy then? “Six years after opening his office in New York in 1927, Loewy created this pencil sharpener, which looks as if it might have been designed using a wind tunnel. The pointed shape nicely conveys the purpose of the machine, while still offering a bit of mystery, and even adventure, to anyone brave enough to introduce a pencil into its jet-black lacuna. The warm wooden crank, meanwhile, invites users to interact with a device that, in all other respects, appears to be alien technology.”

DIESELPUNK “This car may have started life as a 1953  Triumph Mayflower, but after being heavily modified there aren’t many clues to the car’s humble English beginnings. These days it’s named Ruby and it doesn’t look like a humble Triumph, or really any other car we’ve ever seen.” MORE HERE

DIESELPUNK One of three examples, 1018, 1026, and 1031, of streamlining applied to engines for the streamstyled Firefly in 1938. This shows the quality of the work of the shop forces in the 1930s.

DIESELPUNK Unusual to find streamlining on a tank loco but The MÁV Class 242 was a 4-4-4T steam locomotive of Hungarian State Railways. A small class of only four examples, they were built between 1936 and 1939. They were highly unusual in that they were both streamlined, as was the fashion of that period for fast express service, but they were also tank locomotives. Note this is a detail of Benbe’s original picture below:- Picture by Benbe Quondo MORE HERE

DIESELPUNK 1930’s style Streamlined Steam Locomotive 01 1102 in Sigmaringen. Picture by  Martin Schrader. Sleek Streamline 1100 storming out of Eisenach on the cold 11th of 96’s February.
