I wonder how many people have fallen in the pond waiting for the bus

Having acquired a collection of "Southern Region" slides I bizarrely found a couple of Hellfire West Highland slides in amongst them!

After some research on the "Class 37 Loco group" site I found that 37081 was working "The Lochaber" Rail Tour on the 1st September 1984. Without looking through the history of every split box loco I'm unsure which class mate is heading towards the camera? Anyone happen to have any idea by any chance? (now known to be 37112) It would save me some considerable time haha (Thanks to ExTractor Fan's comment below I have ammended the caption to 37112...)

Original Slide Scan, Photographer unknown

I have started to collect a number of original slides (with copyright) 'most' of which probably haven’t been seen before. Some come with image information and some don't. Please feel free to leave a comment if you know locations, dates, numbers etc, it would be much appreciated. I have uploaded these at a low resolution, please don't copy / download without my prior permission.

I only collect slides on the understanding that the full copyright transfers over to me. If you believe there to be a copyright issue please drop me an email.

The odd couple; HCT Group had seven small Optare Solos in the London fleet that were primarily for route W12. When new to what was then called the CT Plus operation the first pair registered were OS2/3 YJ59NRN/O and the other five similar buses were OS4-8 YJ10EYF/G/H/K/L. The batch were later renumbered 1740 - 1746 in sequence.

With the collapse of HCT Group in 2022 the London operations were taken over by Stagecoach, these vehicles eventually being numbered in the Stagecoach national sequence among other Solos. Unlike some other groups of ex-HCT vehicles there were apparently no convenient gaps in existing sequences to allow the new numbers to relate to the old ones. The two 59-registered buses became 47809 and 10 whilst the 10-registered buses became 47915-19.

This wasn't to place them in date order or even related to type, adjacent numbers in the sequences were of both "classic" and SR-type Solos as well as being different lengths.

So, the 59-registered pair also now had 478xx fleenumbers in contrast to the 10-registered buses in the 479xx sequence.

This is Stagecoach London 47810 looking somewhat battered (note the tape on the rear wheelarch) and with a faulty destination display picking up at The Shrubberies, George Lane, South Woodford on 31st October 2020. Stagecoach fleetnames had yet to replace the HCT Group ones.

At the date of the picture 47809 had not yet appeared in service with its new number.

Well, this is part of the reason I got that Mixel. The small ball and socket pieces. This is really just a kind of a tablescrap build, there will definitely be an OS2 as will as many other chassises(Ugh…How would I say that) based not here in the future. Now for some geeky background info! The Osprey is a model introduced for infiltration, scouting, recon, spying, etc. Not suited at all for a battlefield combat role, this mech would be deployed to run to the enemy base, collect as much data as possible, and get out. For defense, however, it is equipped with 2 Q4 lasers. Directly above the laser are 2 sensor arrays. There is a charge port on the back of the Mech, as it is a hybrid-electric model, not suited for long periods of deployment. Get in, collect the info, get back, recharge. That's the job of the Osprey.

My first pro makeover at the Boudoir Los Angeles (now only in London). Miss Jodie Lynn created such an amazing and relaxed experience for me. The femininity I felt created such an unexpected euphoria that truly had me floating on air

At first I liked MS-DOS, then IBM OS2. Then I liked Commodore Amigas (most fun computer I've ever owned). Then came Mac, and I loved MAC-OS, but it got old and Microsoft Windows took over the world. I didn't like Windows, a true trouble maker. Then I loved UNIX, specifically Solaris, Linux, and BSD. And along came Mac again, thanks to Jobs, and now. I love my Mac. OS X is the most fun and yet the deepest system I've ever used.

This is my 95 Volvo T5R. Its one of the many project cars my shop www.rkautotechnik.com has (and is) building. I decided to build this car as a nice daily driven car that has the performance I wanted. Recently made its first baseline dyno pulls at 400whp @ 18psi.

As quoted from my website:

"We've pretty much wrapped up the drivetrain and suspension portions of our T5R project. We set out from the beginning with a few simple goals: No losses in drivability, smog compliance, exceptional handling with out compromise in ride quality and lastly an emphasis placed on boost response and powerband. We can say with out lying that we met and exceeded every single one our goals. Every decision made involved a matter of compromise. For instance, we chose to use the Garrett GT3071R ball bearing turbo. We chose a 63AR with the hopes it would give is the boost response we desired while still allowing the motor tor breathe through the top of its powerband.

Being that our T5R is a California based car we also had the issues of smog compliance. Using a true manual trans ECU, there is no problems concerning smog and the manual swap. While not smog "legal" the GT3071R is small enough to fit under the heat shield and is not noticably (to the untrained eye) bigger than OEM. Lastly, all other smog equipment was left in place and functioning. The last part of the manual swap involved the use of an 850R clutch. While there was concern over its holding capacity, so far so good.

When we set out to design an 850 suspension that was more adjustable (in terms of alignment), lighter and stronger than OEM (a-arms) and a car that handled well with out extreme compromises in ride quality. The suspension design we came up with allows for total control over alignment (camber/caster), spring rates (both front and rear springs are off the shelf units available in a multitude of sizes and rates also in both fixed rates and progressive) and ride quality vs handling. Right now we are trying 450# front and 375# rear springs with great results.

Whats in the future for our T5R? Right now, we are so pleased with the car it is difficult to decide. The last couple things we'd like to do is a more aggressive pair or sport seats and a better steering wheel. Then just continue to tinker and dial the suspension and drivetrain till we have reached its max potential.

Thanks again for viewing our project car. Please come back to check on it in the future!

Updates:

We recently put our T5R on the dyno to make a street trim (18psi, pump gas, cat still in place). MUCH to our surprize the car made 453whp! Now, we dyno'd a stock 850R at the same time and this dyno we were on reads about 10% high giving a more realistic number about 410whp. This is well above and beyond what we hoped for at this mild boost level (and even more so for pump gas).

There is more to be had too. Right now the car makes its peak numbers quite low, about 6300rpm but this is mostly due to the fact the motor runs extremely lean above 6500rpm. Also, in the mid range (3500-4500rpm) the car runs pretty rich. For no real tuning at this time, we couldn't be happier. There is a slightly new version of Civinco enroute to try out on the car so we should have it tuned completely soon. Torque numbers were also fantastic at 434ft/lbs with usable torque from 3500rpm to still over 300ft/lbs by 7000rpm!"

From eBay listing (thanks to Google Translate):

An Apple Newton - Schlumberger Watson the only in Newton OS2 in French!!!

Designed for medical corps (OCR) writing.

The Watson is a tool that has been designed for the medical body, it is based on Apple's Newton 2x00 Schulumberger authorized to make this model should be provided to all doctors, nurses and other medical professions body, the Watson enabled physicians to manage these patients automatically, sending data to the body familly ...

Unfortunately, this project was never implemented by the CAF, which is a shame.

Anyway, there were only a few copies issued to doctors for testing.

It is very rare to find in this condition, it is practically new, the screen has no marks and plastics of all is also like new. It is therefore particularly well keep a copy of that here.

From myapplenewton.blogspot.com/2010/05/schlumberger-watson-ne... :

… Newton 2x00 combined with a smartcard reader called the Schlumberger Watson. It was produced for the French medical industry as a companion for Doctors giving them ready access to patient records as well as processing transactions so that claims on their National Health System (SESAM-Vitale) could be processed electronically. The records carried no medical information, just their details on the SESAM-Vitale database.

The reader occupied the space normally taken up by Slot 0 and took two cards. One card was the Doctor's and had his unique i.d. The other was a patient card. When used together, the system could validate the care given by the Doctor and a reimbursement claim could be submitted to SESAM-Vitale by way of the modem built into the cradle. The cradle also provided a means for recharging the Watson's battery pack and giving a serial connection to a desktop.

The unit sold for 12,000 francs. The average monthly gross salary in France back then was 13,550 francs.

Memories from the '90s. While cleaning a forgotten place in my house, I found this panel that I made during the '90s, collecting pins and stickers from events. It's fascinating to see how many of the ideas of those times are now in place. Technology runs fast, but the adoption has its rates.

Nonetheless, if you do not imagine and invent, you will never know where to go. It's just a matter of time.

The image has plenty of notes

CT Plus took over operation of route W5 (Harringay-Archway) from Metroline on Saturday 5th February 2011 with a batch of new Optare Solos. However a couple of the vehicles were not delivered in time and helping out on Monday 7th February is OS2, one of a batch delivered in March 2010 for the W12 - these are shorter and narrower than the W5 vehicles. The bus is in Stanhope Road, Highgate, headed for Archway and is about to pass under the Parkland Way footbridge.

Stanhope Road runs between Hornsey Hale and Shepherds Hill, Highgate; as both roads run on ridges Stanhope Road dips in the middle. It was once crossed by a railway bridge; this carried the Great Northern branch lines from Finsbury Park (where they split from the main line from Kings Cross) through Highgate to Alexandra Palace, High Barnet and Edgware. During the 1930s London Transport planned to link these lines to the Moorgate-Finsbury Park line and incorporate the services into the Northern Line. However the work was stopped in 1940 due to the Second World War, with only the High Barnet line and a short spur to Mill Hill East (strategically importatnt as there were Army barracks nearby) completed. The rest of the scheme was abandoned after the War, leaving steam trains to shuttle between Finsbury Park and Alexandra Palace until closure in 1954. The line continued to be used for empty stock movements between Highgate and Drayton Park Depots until 1970; since then it has been converted into a green corridor known as the Parkland Walk. The footbridge allows photos of passing W5 buses to be taken from above.

In the 1980s and 1990s there was pressure to reopen the line as the "Muswell Hill Metro", using light rail vehicles between Finsbury Park and Alexandra Palace, but the idea faced considerable opposition as it would have meant the loss of the new green corridor in a busy urban area.
