EMD's GM10B, built in August 1976, generated 10,000 hpwr.
There's plenty of info online about EMD's two electric demonstrators so I won't go into their history here.

Seen before by me and by others but i was in the area and thought i'd see if they were still in situ, and they were, however the for sale sign outside the house suggests they won't be there for much longer....SORn and no MOT history

The Trabant was a product of East Germany during the Communist era and built by VEB Sachsennring Automobilwerk in Sachsen. There have been four variants and they were exported widely throughout the Communist bloc countries.
Construction is on a steel monocoque chassis with boot lid, bonnet, bumpers and doors in Duroplast, a plastic composite containing resin strengthened by wool or cotton. The car has no fuel pump so the tank is placed high in the engine compartment to allow gravity feed to the carburettor. The twin cylinder two-stroke engine is air cooled.
They became a cult car in much of Western Europe following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 as they became available to enthusiasts.
This 1976 Trabant 601, TZ 98 64, is displayed at Haynes Motor Museum.

A quick shot of the Orion Nebula (M42), one of my favourite celestial objects and a really satisfying target. I've been waiting a year for an opportunity to image this nebula again, this time with a polar alignment and guiding to enable much longer exposures than the 15 second subs I took last time and with a lower ISO to reduce noise. The next project with this is to either stitch two shots together or, better still, rotate the camera in order to fit both the Orion Nebula and the nearby Running Man Nebula into one frame.
13 x 4 minute exposures at 400 ISO
8 x dark frames
10 x flat frames
21 x bias/offset frames (subtracted from flat frames only)
Total exposure time - 52 minutes
Guided with PHD
Processed in Nebulosity, Maxim DL and Photoshop

[Wikipedia] The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. M42 is located at a distance of 1,344 ± 20 light years and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across. It has a mass of about 2000 times the mass of the Sun. Older texts frequently refer to the Orion Nebula as the Great Nebula in Orion or the Great Orion Nebula.
The Orion Nebula is one of the most scrutinized and photographed objects in the night sky, and is among the most intensely studied celestial features. The nebula has revealed much about the process of how stars and planetary systems are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust. Astronomers have directly observed protoplanetary disks, brown dwarfs, intense and turbulent motions of the gas, and the photo-ionizing effects of massive nearby stars in the nebula. [Wikipedia]
Haven't got a clue what this car is except it's called a "Rambler Royce"!
So if anyone knows anything about this car, please post away!
Late 70s Merc 200 seen in Central SW London, i'd missed this last time i was in the area, taxed to Apr 2025.
