More yellow machines, please. Or blue and white or orange, you get my drift.

More yellow, Swiss this time, up in the mountains at Wassen.

On the side, it says Funkmesswagen, literally radio measurement car, evidently for testing comms reception:

Let's have some non-yellow engineers' activity next?

Stratford breakdown crane ADRC 96701 re-railing a Cowans 12t GP (General Purpose) crane DRC 81537 after it had overturned removing sidings at Colchester. Peter Robinson the Breakdown Supervisor (the bloke in the blue jeans and white hat) asked me if they could cut the jib off with a gas axe before they righted it. He was a little disappointed when I rejected his proposal. They put at least 5 feet of packing into the ground before the breakdown crane could actually get 81537 upright. I was somewhat late home that night........

Feel free to do as you please

So having randomly clicked on my photo files I find a visit to the Isle of Wight Railway in 2011,

and a random click on an image gives this view which I think is from Havenstreet
