"the entropy of an isolated system never decreases, because isolated systems spontaneously evolve towards thermodynamic equilibrium—the state of maximum entropy. Equivalently, perpetual motion machines of the second kind are impossible."

Departing Reading for London Paddington is HST set 253006 with W43013 leading, 2nd August 1977. The set was originally formed with two buffet vehicles (one TRUK and one TRSB), however by 1977 it had been realised that this was too much for the relatively short journeys between Paddington and Bristol /Cardiff so they were both replaced by a TRUB vehicle and an additional TS with the displaced catering vehicles being incorporated into class 254 Eastern Region sets.
Locomotive History
43013 is from the original build of High Speed Trainsets built for Western Region services in 1976 and formed part of set 253006. In early 1988 the East coast electrification and its class 91 locomotives was ready, however the Mark IV coaching stock was still almost a year away. As a stop gap BR came up with an innovative solution of replacing one power car of eight HST sets with a class 91 so the start of the Kings Cross to Leeds electric service could be brought forward to March 1988. The other power car on each of these sets was converted to become a 'surrogate DVT' (Driving Van Trailer), these power cars were fitted with TDM equipment and other controls to allow the class 91 to be controlled remotely from the modified HST power car. As the Class 91's train supply was of the older DC ETH type (and thus incompatible with HST Mk III stock) the DVT class 43 would continue to provide power to the train's auxiliaries, leaving the class 91 to provide all the traction power. The class 43 power cars were visually altered by the fitting of conventional drawgear and buffers in place of the lower nosecone fairing. Internally a new bank of switches was provided on the cab desk and the TDM equipment was accommodated in a cabinet in the luggage van area. 43013 was one of the eight class 43 power cars converted with the work being undertaken by the diesel repair shop at Stratford. Operation of the class 91/class 43 formation on Kings Cross to Leeds service commenced in March 1988 and after a few weeks of operation it was found that the class 43 power cars were suffering from spending all their time idling on just 1000rpm, and their traction power was reinstated creating 8000+hp formations capable of quite brisk performances! As the deliveries and commissioning of Mark IV sets took place at the end of 1988 the modified class 43 power cars were released back into normal duties. Whilst the DVT equipment has been removed these class 43 power cars have retained the drawgear and buffers at the front end. 43013 moved to Cross Country duties in July 1991. With the introduction of the Voyager fleet on Cross Country duties 43013 was transferred to the Network Rail fleet in 2003 for operating the New Measurement Train and has been modified accordingly. In March 2009 it entered Brush, Loughborough to be “re-engineered” and has had its original Paxman Valenta engine replaced by a MTU unit. It re-entered service with Network Rail in June 2009.
I was walking around trying to get a picture of The Austonian in the fog. I ran across this scene, an ambulance is waiting outside a building a car drives by and people walk out in front. It is a good capture of lots of daily city events.
This I found a very hard challenge there is absolutely nothing flowering in and around my DROUGHT HEAT effected garden and yard I waited until I went into town and went to the nursery and shot a few flowering pots , this is a mystery plant also , but I think because it has light flowers against a dark background and lots of textures it works! I think I much prefer coloured photos of flowers...…

The Minor 1000 (1956-62) was a direct descendant of the earlier Minor series II with a 948cc S4 OHV engine it had a revised front grille, a curved one piece windscreen, larger rear window, dished steering wheel, and painted 14inch wheels, flashing direction indicators replaced semaphore trafficators.
This (1962-71) version had a larger 1098cc S4 OHV engine boosting output to 48bhp and a top speed of 77 mph bracket. Differences were however slight a new dashboard layout with a lidded glove box on the passenger side and open cubby hole in front of the driver, and a different heater, externally the new car gained a new larger tail flasher and front side/flasher lights

Happy Birthday Ruth! Tonight we went to a Teppan-yaki restaurant which was very entertaining. Here you can just see the chef in the background holding a candle.
Shot for a designer: We did 7 shots of this custom kitchen and this is one is my favorite of the day. Single flash frame lit with an AD600 bounced off the wall far left as the main light, and a speedlight BOC positioned front and left of the camera. Cloning (that tile, ugh!!!) in PS and finished in Luminar 2018 and LR. Considering adding this to my website portfolio. Would love feedback!
A bit of a “one off” in my collection is this photograph of one of the nameplates fitted to 45006 Honourable Artillery Company taken on the 2nd May 1981 at Birmingham New Street. 45006 was originally D89 which entered service in March 1961 however it would over four years later on the 9th June 1965 when it received its name at a ceremony at Broad Street station, London. The Honourable Artillery Company was established by Royal Charter by Henry VIII in 1537 and was originally known as the Gentlemen of the Artillery Garden. During the English Civil War (1642 - 1649) members of the Company fought on both sides, Royalist and Parliamentary. The Honourable Artillery Company was first used in 1685 and later confirmed by Queen Victoria. Over the years members of the regiment have fought as infantry, cavalry and artillery including the Boer War, the First World War and the Second World War. During the First World War battalions serving in France, Flanders, Italy, Aden, Egypt and Palestine and ten percent were killed in action, died from their wounds or from sickness. During the Second World War the Company served in North Africa, Italy, France and Germany. Currently the Regiment is part of the Army Reserve (Territorial Army). 45006 was withdrawn in September 1986.

Village Family Theater still on the market
By JOSH MCGOVERN josh.mcgovern@apgsomn.com
Oct 3, 2022 Updated Nov 9, 2023
Village Theater owner Steven McDonough is left with open options after an undisclosed Northfield buyer backed out of a potential deal to purchase the theater in downtown Faribault.
McDonough hopes to sell the theater due to personal reasons, but is open to suggestions should he decide to retain ownership and reopen.
The single father of eight purchased the theater in 2013 and reopened it as a family-focused venue in 2014 after renovating it himself. Ticket purchases were capped at $30 per group, allowing large families to attend without emptying their wallets.
“That’s what it was about,” McDonough said. “I wanted to create a place where families could come and enjoy a good, wholesome movie.”
Throughout McDonough’s almost 10 years of ownership, the Village Family Theater was host to more than just films. Play productions were performed on the stage behind the screen. Weddings and graduation parties were held in the spacious back rooms. Even the well-known band Owl City shot scenes for a music video in the theater’s brick halls.
The building itself is bigger than it appears from the outside. While its main feature is the theater, there are open rooms available for large gatherings. In the basement, the floor was originally cut at the cross beams to give the theater its slant.
When describing the theater and its many possibilities, McDonough summed it up in one word: “Potential.”
The historic theater on Second Street NW is no stranger to potential. It was opened in 1896 as an armory. After this it was a funeral home. The murdered victims of the famous Faribault family, the Goffriers, held their funeral in what is now the Village Theater.
The building was remodeled at some point into a theater. The theater closed in the 1970s and had a few other uses before McDonough bought it and returned it to a theater.
McDonough spent significant effort reshaping the theater to fit his vision of a comfortable venue. He refurbished the screening room, installed sound-absorbant curtains, and moved the screen closer to the seats to create room for a stage.
In the 2013 grand opening, McDonough brought back the theater’s original door man to attend a showing of “Mom’s Night Out.”
During events, he sold tickets, concessions and operated the projector all in the same night.
A week before Village Theater was set to have its biggest weekend in McDonough’s ownership, COVID lockdowns closed the theater. The repercussions were difficult to overcome, McDonough said, and has kept the theater closed to this day.
McDonough says despite recent obstacles, the Village Theater remains an important building for Faribault. He says it has imprinted itself in history and the lives of the people who attended events throughout the years.
