Sensory overload.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so they say. Here an ex Bournemouth Fleetline, owned by a fellow flickrite, is seen today following painting in the colour of his (or rather his young daughter's!) choice. Alongside is an equally vividly coloured ex LT RMC belonging to Halewood International, aka 'Crabbies'.

Fleetline NFX 132P was rolled out yesterday, but there's still quite a bit to do to finish it off including a 'Notifiable alteration' relating to it's revised internal layout.

The picture was taken with my newly acquired old style Kodak 'bridge' camera, a P850, one of which I'd had in the past. (the Sony SLR's too bulky to live in my brief-case for every day use) I replaced my first P850 when it finally failed supposedly up-grading to the superior Z1015 but which have never been happy with. My principal gripes were poor light metering and vastly over-saturating of images such that almost every image it produced had to be 'treated' on the computer. Looking at the above as a sort of test, the old P850 seems to have restored my faith with a more natural picture.
