Lazyweb: steam engine
There is a little project (probably not hard to guess what it is about) where my own research was not enough, so I see no option than asking in the open: I need to take a photo of a steam engine (locomotiva cu abur), so does know about one in Bucharest? The condition for it is to look decent and for me to be allowed to take a photo.
The only one I am aware of (a couple of engines, in fact) is the one placed in front of the "Deopul Bucureşti Călători", on Calea Griviţei, but that one is really bad:

I may try to get creative with angles and use my GIMP skills as much I can, probably de-emphasize the nearly building and the street elements, but no angle and no GIMP wizardry can make-up for the fact that the engine has no wheels and there is no railroad:

There may be another one ar the CFR Museum (Muzeul CFR), but usually you are not allowed to take photos inside a museum.
I also have a "plan B" if I can't find one, but I am not sure my contingency plan is good enough (it involves an over the top metaphor and massive GIMP surgery).
All the materials included on this page are free to use, but if you find them useful, pretty please (this is not a requirement, only my humble wish) send an email to dioanad at server gmail.com with thanks for motivating me to publish some content and expressing your unhappiness to the same person for destroying my motivation to publish even more.

There's a nice one in the Brasov railway station and another one in Sinaia or Busteni, can't remember which. Use it as an excuse for a "field trip" :)
