Another view of this tidy Motor Panels cabbed Foden S40 and the usual items of interest in the background.
A photograph taken by Joe Sullivan, now in my collection.
S40 FTR 20364. First Cymru (Swansea) Volvo B7R/Plaxton Profile seen on our welsh depot trip. Original registration: CV56AVF. Now carries registration from withdrawn FTR. Ex-First Edinburgh (Livingston).
A quality German made Kodak pocket 110 camera. A far cry from the later plastic cheapo 110 cameras. This one has a Reomar lens from Schneider or Rodenstock origin. 2 shutter speeds and manual aperture selection. The viewfinder is neat and makes part of the advance system.
Whilst First Bus don't operate a large fleet of coaches in the UK, there are still a number of them in the fleet. One exception to this is the Truronian coach company in Cornwall who have a significant fleet of coaches.
In 2020 this coach was transferred to Truronian from First Cymru. I believe that it now wears the smart Truronian branding.
Prior to being operated by Truronian, this coach was used by First Cymru on their X10 route between Swansea and Cardiff.
Fleet number: 20364
Vehicle Registration: S40FTR
Make & Model: Volvo B7R Plaxton Profile
Operating Company: First Cymru (Now Truronian)
Livery: First Coaches
Depot: Ravenhill

"Nessuno è solo finchè di notte anche lontano
ha chi non dorme
e per pensare a lui e pensarai a lei ancora
rimani e pensa a questa notte
a quelle cose dette e fatte
a tutto il tempo ancora senza rimpianti
che avrai davanti insieme a lei..."

Kodak Mini-Instamatic S40 with flash Kodalux 1.
For pocket film 110.
The word "electronic" implies something like an automatic exposure, but no - this is not an advanced camera, it's a Kodak. The shutter works completely mechanically and the exposure has to be set manually. For it you have the small slider on top: on the sunny side exposure is f/22 and 1/80 s and on the cloudy side it is f/5.6 and 1/40 s. To find a decision you can press the small button on the slider, it activates the exposure meter: if you can see a red light in the viewfinder the exposure is to dark or to bright - you have to find something in between.
On the other hand, this camera is somewhat solid. Top and bottom of it are metal made, the retractable viewfinder is a clear overkill for this camera, and it is really mini.
The lens is a Reomar 5.6/25, fixfocus type.
Price new in 1978 for the complete set: 199 Deutsche Mark, about 100 €.
A view inside this camera.
SOB Flirt type EMU no. RABe 526 053 has just left Freienbach SOB station on an S40 working from Rapperswil to Einsiedeln. Freienbach, counting 2900 souls, has two train stations: Freienbach SOB (of which the entrance is visible on the picture) on the SOB line from Pfäffikon SZ to Arth-Goldau, and Freienbach SBB down by the lake, on the mainline from Zürich to Chur. Freienbach, 12-03-2014.
A Big J and a big F.
Guy Big J8 and Foden S40 a couple of years ago -
Gardner 150 and 180 powered IIRC -
The Guy is looking deceptively solid in this shot - the cab was in a very sorry state - I have cloned out the prop holding the door in place -
The prop was added after the door fell off, nearly decapitating Homer Simpson....
Défi de cette semaine, utiliser 3 couleurs que l'on n'a pas l'habitude de travailler.
A part le bleu qui n'est pas ma couleur de prédilection, son mariage avec le orange m'est un peu difficile et le violet me rappelle trop le deuil. Pourtant j'ai aimé réaliser cette page.
Fond aux Neocolor II aquarellés j'ai ensuite recouvert de film étirable, malaxé les couleurs et en retirant le film j'ai eu ce bel effet moiré.
