1978 Dodge Omni
Inline 4-cylinder engine, overhead valves,
105 cubic inches displacement, 75 horsepower
Small cars pack a lot into tight spaces.
The Omni makes the most of its engine bay by mounting the unit transversely, with
the crankshaft parallel to the front bumper. It’s a layout not widely used in American cars since the early 1900s, but particularly well-suited to compact front-wheel-drive vehicles. Power is sent to the Omni’s front wheels via the transaxle, a combination gearbox-differential, on the driver’s side. Matt Anderson, curator of transportation at The Henry Ford.
The San Francisco Fire Department lost two of its members from Engine Company 26, who were both critically injured during an explosion while bravely fighting a house fire in the Diamond Heights neighborhood on June 2, 2011. Both died at the hospital as a result of their injuries after all rescussitative measures were taken by the Emergency Trauma staff at San Francisco General Hospital.
Days later firefighters from around California and around the country gathered to pay their respects during a funeral service. In this sequence we see some of the equipment from the East Bay Area.

1957 Leyland Routemaster prototype bus – RML3
RML3 is one of four prototype Routemasters built and tested between 1954-1958 before full-scale production began. It was taken into stock in July 1957 and entered service in January 1958, allocated to Willesden garage for use on route 8 into and across central London. One of the two prototypes to have a Leyland engine, it became the only Routemaster to have a body built by Weymann of Weybridge/Addlestone in Surrey at their now long-gone factory just up the road from today’s Museum.
In January 1959 it was involved in a severe collision in the Edgware Road and suffered extensive frontal panel damage. After repair in London Transport’s experimental workshop at Chiswick Works, it was returned to service until November 1959 when its service career ended after only 18 months. It then became a driver-training vehicle in preparation for the introduction of production Routemasters to replace London’s electric trolleybus fleet. In 1961, the bus was re-classified as ‘RM3′ to allow the ‘RML’ designation to be used for the new longer Routemasters.
After 1963, the vehicle became disused and saw parts removed to keep its fellow Leyland prototype (the Green Line version) roadworthy. In 1965, however, the bus was repaired and overhauled, losing its distinctive and unique design of bonnet, grille and nearside mudguard in the process and receiving a standard production version instead. In this form, it returned to training duties until April 1972. After a period of storage, it was acquired by the then Cobham Bus Museum in 1974, thus becoming the very first Routemaster to be privately preserved.

BARTON INGS PIPE & TILEWORKS presented by Charlie Stewart. Found on the banks of the Humber this is a loose representation of the last surviving claypit railway in Britain, until its closure around 1999/2000. The length of the line was less than 0.5km. A simple construction of wooden baseboard, plywood buildings covered in plaster. The scale/gauge combination is Gn15 (G scale scenery/stock on 00 gauge track) A plethora of mud/rust and general grime was then added to so capture the “dirty” atmosphere of this site.

This readers, is Dinting engine shed - a nine acre site, overgrown and abandoned.
In the 1970's and 1980's this place was full of steam train enthusiasts who came flocking to Glossop to see some big trains. Today, the track is lifted, the engines gone and much of the railway stuff moved up to Keighley, West Yorkshire
Inside is trashed and tagged. Rusting lights hang from the ceiling. Outside, trees overhang the building
Following a footpath, I could see a station type building through the trees. It looked ruined. I checked it out. It was quite good.
A rather relaxing wander, and the only regret was the new boarding on the level crossing mans house nearby.
The very earliest CB750′s that were produced were this sandcast version: the crankcase was created using a sand mold. After engine number E1007415 the engines were die cast instead. Couple this with the fact that the early chains were to weak for the engine which caused them to shatter the crankcase and you have very few of these about 7000 bikes produced left in existence with their original sandcast crankcase. This is one of them.
Mark Haycock wrote in his book about the CB750: “This is properly identified as the CB750. Not K0 or K1, just CB750. This fact seems to cause a lot of confusion throughout the world. Perhaps it would be wise to use the title ‘pre-K1 CB750′”, so we’ve chosen to do just that. K0 was coined in retrospect and not an official designation.
