One of my very early photographic efforts taken with a Hanimex Compact non SLR camera of dubious quality and using black and white film sees Tinsley allocated 25019 drifting along the Up Goods approaching Derby station with a special class 8 freight (8Z60) sometime in 1974.
Locomotive History
25019 is one of a batch of twenty five locomotives of sub class 25/0 which were a transition between the 75mph, 1160hp Class 24 and the 90mph, 1250hp Class 25/1. These twenty five locomotives received the up-rated 6LDA28B Sulzer engine giving 1250hp but were fitted with the same traction motors as the Class 24. All twenty five locomotives were built at Darlington Works and 25019 entered traffic as D5169 in December 1961 and like the rest of the sub class was allocated to Thornaby MPD. This sub class were not boiler equipped so would live out there careers mostly on freight duties. It would spend the next five years in the North East with a short spell at Gateshead in 1967 before transfer to Holbeck in December 1967. After a brief return to the North East (Gateshead) in April 1972 it transferred to Tinsley three months later. Its next move was to Scotland in February 1976 with a transfer to Eastfield and its final transfer was to Haymarket in January 1980. The first Class 25/) withdrawals (25016/17/20/22/24) took place in January 1976 when they were due for classified repair and they were the first non accident damaged class 25’s condemned. Withdrawals of the Class 25/0 locomotives continued over the next couple of years with a further six being withdrawn, however before they were complete non accident damaged withdrawals commenced on the Class 25/1 locomotives in August 1977. This proved to be a reprieve for the remaining Class 25/0 locomotives as the next fourteen withdrawals came from the Class 25/1 or 25/2 fleets until 25008 was withdrawn in June 1980, almost a three years gap in Class 25/0 withdrawals. Once Class 25/0 withdrawals had recommenced the remaining Class 25/0 locomotives were quickly withdrawn with 25019 being withdrawn three months later in September 1980. After withdrawal 25019 was moved to Swindon Works during October 1980 and was broken up during January 1981.

It started with the LC-A, that I got in a 2nd hand shop in Budapest 2 years ago, I took it to test it the next days on my way by train across Bulgaria/Romania to Istambul, and I finally figured out that P&S were the way to travel without worries. always ready, and in a simple pocket. SET
Eventually the lc-a fell and so I could try to fix the frame counter it had to get a new dress.
Also, missing some shots because of the zone focus it was not ideal, so I started looking for some cheep AF ones, and they had to be as pocketable as the lc-a, on that area the mju II is the winner.
I don't think this collection will grow much more, unless I stumble upon some expensive models or so, for very cheap (ricohs gr, minolta TC-1 etc...) I'm happy with these ones for now, let's see what comes next.
(1 week after)
I just came back from the fleamarket with some more P&S cameras, Mju I (another),
Ricoh FF70(it's a DOA after all), Fuji HD-M, Konica EU-min and a Porst 135AE

A nearby compact blue dwarf galaxy, NGC 5253 was imaged with Hubble's High Resolution Channel (HRC) on the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) to produce this image. A lot of hydrogen gas is present here and is most evident in the narrowband H-alpha filter which appears here in vivid reddish magenta. Numerous young, massive star clusters full of massive stars are visible as mottled, bright, blueish patches.
This is a very close look at the nucleus and star-forming region of the galaxy. Just enough detail is revealed for me to guess at what I'm looking at, and yet not quite enough for me to feel sure. One of the bright patches near the center is rounder and slightly yellower, causing me to suspect it is an old globular cluster. What is interesting to me is that some of the bluer clusters visually appear to have comparable diameters and densities. Pretty impressive. I suspect they contain fewer but brighter, more massive stars.
I am fond of these old ACS/HRC datasets because they are comparatively rare since the HRC stopped functioning in June 2006 and never came back online even after the servicing mission which repaired the rest of the ACS. The observations comprising this image were acquired five months prior in February 2006.
Glancing at the abstract for this paper, we might expect this to one day be observed by the James Webb Space Telescope.
Data primarily came from the following Proposal: Sizes, Shapes, and SEDs: Searching for Mass Segregation in the Super Star Clusters of Nearby Starburst Galaxies
Note: Some lower resolution ACS/WFC data from LEGUS (Proposal 10765) was used to fill in the missing data where the occulting finger was. Some older WFPC2 F656N data from Proposal 6524 was used to slightly enhance the ACS/HRC F656N data.
Red: ACS/HRC F814W + ACS/HRC F656N
Green: ACS/HRC F550M
Blue: ACS/HRC F435W + ACS/HRC F330W
North is NOT up. It is 25.4° clockwise from up.
A very basic Compact. Top spotting points if you see one of these now.

From where I sit at this moment, Orkney seems so remote. It's easy to forget that it sits just off John o' Groats and was a bit of Scotland nibbled away and submerged at the end of the Last Glacial Period. Prior to that, the lowered sea levels left Doggerland high and dry — a convenient stepping stone for humans to repopulate Britain from the rest of Europe. Yes, I've been to the very north of the archipelago, to North Ronaldsay. Today I'm away to South Ronaldsay — ironically juxtaposed at opposite ends from its northern namesake. This won't take me to Orkney's most southerly isle, Stroma, which to be honest has less water between it and Scotland that it has between itself and the rest of Orkney.
Here's a reminder of how compact these islands are. This is the northern tip of Glimps Holm looking back across Lamb Holm to Mainland. By now I've crossed two of the causeways constructed as navigation barriers in WWII. There are what appears to be military installations, there on the cliffs of Lamb Holm. In the middleground lie relics of the block ships sunk here early in WWI. I think this was the SS Numidian, an almost 5000 ton steel hulled steamer scuttled here on 30 December 1914. She was sunk in the company of SS Aorangi, SS Thames and SS Minieh with, I think, Numidian in the shallow water near this spot. I could be wrong. If you need a better answer there's a kind of trainspotters' guide to the wrecks of Scapa Flow.
Orkney is so user-friendly. It's a small place, compact, packed to the gunwales with history; so much that with sea level rise its, Plimsoll line is in peril of disappearing beneath the waves. Getting about is quick and easy; all that and it has a village named Twatt.

Not many if any places to see a pair of SD35's running now days in the US, here GLC 383 and 384 work the interchange with the Ann Arbor RR at Osmer siding just north of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Nice compact packages these SD35's seen from above, if only EMD had cataloged an SD30, that would have been a pretty swell looking unit - August 23, 2024.
Not the most detailed photo ever (on my tiny Lumix compact at full stretch), but at least it’s a record of tonight’s Super Blue Moon. It looks amazing through binoculars.
The news of the passing of the Dutch engineer who invented the audio Compact Cassette, Lou Ottens, got me to thinking how useful and handy these were back in the day and efficient - even a provision to prevent accidental ereasure. The quality of the audio wasn't up there with reel-to-reel, but they paved they way for portable music. Even after portable compact disc (which Mr. Ottens was involved in the development of) players came out, portable cassette players were the best way to go - easier to fit into a pocket and slower battery drain - though it took many years to get the player down to the size of the cassette itself. Until at least MP3 players came out, which like everything else digital revolutionized everything.

The Foxtrot fighter is a modified GARC viper. She's equipped with 2 short-range ballistic guns and 4 low-frequency phase cannons for shield dampening. Though she's low on firepower, she makes up for it with sheer speed. All this coupled with the ability to compact into a small cargo bay makes her a bounty hunter's best friend.
This has got to be my absolute favorite out of all the fighters I have built for the 14x14x6 starfighter challenge because it's just so fun to convert, and it's pretty dang swooshable too.

This 1 3/8 inch figure is the DC Comics character The Flash as seen in the game HeroClix. The red and yellow streaks behind him are actually tissue paper.
I believe this is the first toy photo I've posted to Flickr that was lit by my camera's flash. I typically use lamps, flashlights, LEDs, etc.
This image is straight out of the camera: no tweaking, no color processing, no cropping, no nothing.
Submitted to the Flickr group 7 Days of Shooting.
My prototypes for the 4 hood's i've designed so far.
The two for CV 21mm and CV 25mm are still going through testing at the moment, so aren't yet on sale.
One of the most radical introductions from one of the most conservative of automakers - the 1997 A-Class. The A-Class market a transition to a much smaller Mercedes-Benz model, the deployment of front-wheel-drive, and hatchback profile.
The A-Class was also highly innovative within its configuration, a dual-level sandwich floor prefigured the fitment of hybrid batteries or hydrogen fuel cell, neither of which technologies evolved to a commercial level within the seven year lifecycle of the W168 range.
Commercially, the A-Class was viewed as an entry into the dominant VW Golf class, but within the footprint of the smaller Polo class. The additional space realised by a wide cabin and a tall profile. A longer wheelbase variant, increased by 170mm was made available at the time of the 2001 facelift.
Powertrains were new, development of a 4-cylinder gasoline family ranging from 1.4L to 2.1L, and a 1.7L diesel engine.
The W168 range was replaced in 2004 by a similarly configured W169, which rode on the longer of the W168 wheelbase length.
