S317 leads the LVR "Relaunch of 4204" consist south through Wallarobba Station on the way south to Telarah. As the train needed to be turned to allow 4204 to lead for the run back to Sydney, LVR sold tickets on the shuttle train, to allow people in Dungog to go for a rare ride on a heritage train. It is worth wondering how long it has been since S317 and GM10 have lead a passenger train - likely not for a few years!
Venerable GM 42 Class unit 4204, owned an operated by The Lachlan Valley Railway was relaunched into service after overhaul on February 13, 2010 with a tour to Dungog and back. 4204 was accompanied by similar veteran units S317 and GM10, both on loan from Southern Shorthaul Railroad. GM10, recently purchased by SSR from CFCLA is the oldest diesel locomotive still in commercial operation in Australia.
I always like seeing a before and after so here's my go.

Ende 2014 gab der Daimler-Konzern die erneute Verwendung des Namens Maybach bekannt. Die verlängerte Version (X 222) der aktuellen Mercedes-Benz S-Klasse (Baureihe 222) trägt nun den Namenszusatz Maybach.
At the end of 2014, the Daimler Group announced the re-use of the name Maybach. The extended version (X 222) of the current Mercedes-Benz S-Class (class 222) now bears the suffix Maybach.

flessenpost / message in a bottle.
het was in de zomer van 1964.
"Sepia" was een van de Shell tankers die deelnamen aan een "Jeugd Rode Kruis" project.
In Rotterdam kwam een afwijkend type "lading" aan boord.
Postzakken vol plastickokertjes waarin briefjes en vaak foto's van jonge dames die hoopten op een "romantisch" (brief)contact ergens in den vreemde.
Voorloper van een dating site.
De bijzondere inhoud werd snel opgemerkt en de bemanning was daarna erg druk met openen van de kokertjes en het selecteren van de inhoud.
Selectie op leeftijd, uiterlijkschoon, en bruikbaar adres.
Een fors karwei waarvoor de beloning nog lang niet vast stond.
Ruilhandel, en een super kwartetspel, waren het directe resultaat.
Veel belangstelling voor briefjes en fotos op mededelingen borden en verzoeken als " Wie heeft een ......-jarige in ....dam ? "
Hectische tijden ook, want voor de eerste dropping wilde je wel je eigen verzameling bijeen hebben. Het wachtlopen kon hiermee gelukkig gecombineerd worden !
Kapteins wedijverden onderling.
Wie en welk schip de eerste reactie kreeg na een dropping.
Snelste reactie en de grootste afstand waren bepalend.
Kaptein L. de Vries voer met "Sepia" de Taag op, tot aan de "Torre de Belem".
Want hij wilde een postzak dicht bij Lissabon droppen.
De loodsboot naderde maar het schip ging na de dropping meteen rond.
Volle kracht terug naar zee .......... !
De Portugezen begrepen er niets van !
Ook Tanger en Gibraltar werden op dezelfde manier aangelopen !
Wie niet waagt die niet wint, en de Vries had een vaste wil om te winnen.
Van de afloop van de "dating game" bij anderen weet ik niet veel, bij mij was er geen blijvend resultaat. Leuk was het wel.

Mercedes Benz S-Guard white low-poly 3d model ready for Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), games and other real-time apps.
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class, formerly known as Sonderklasse (German for "special class", abbreviated as "S-Klasse"), is a series of luxury flagship vehicles produced by the German automaker Mercedes-Benz, a division of German company Daimler AG. The S-Class designation for top-of-the-line Mercedes-Benz models was officially introduced in 1972 with the W116, and has remained in use ever since.
This model is suitable for using in the 3D renderings of architectural visualizations, traffic simulation, games etc. where it doesn't need to use heavy high-polygonal models.
Exterior only!

W112
The high-end W112 was a luxury saloon based on the W111 chassis but with exclusive features, elaborate appointments and the Mercedes 300d Adenauer's fuel-injected 3-litre "big block" M189 6-cylinder engine - at the time the company's largest. Dubbed the 300 SE, it was given many standard power features, air suspension and a high level of interior and exterior trim.

picture from "Tanker times"
picture shows a corner in the ships radio-station on "SOLEN" GHPG
with Autospec equipment fitted.
"SEPIA"' was alike
Two S-class sisters "SEPIA" PHKW, and "SERENIA" GHLE were also taking part in this experiment.
Did have the same equipment.
So did the "ALUCO" GCJU, "ARIANTA" GCNU, and "AMORIA" GCXU
The program was intended to detect changes in the performance of ships at sea almost immediately in London.
Even though a vessel is on the other side of the world.
The cause of these changes should be isolated.
A system of high-speed transmitting and analysing of information was developed by Shell International Marine Ltd and MIMC.
New instruments for recording vital data on board ships and new wireless transmission equipment was installed.
An air-conditioned crew cabin aft housed a specially built data logger.
Its clock speed was about one cycle per second.
Output was in the form a 5 unit telex code punched paper-tape.
Ships performance data was transmitted daily into Shell Centre London.
This data is fed into computers.
The system should assist Shell in improving the efficiency of its oil tanker operations.
A ship's performance changes as a result of deterioration of the boilers, marine growth and corrosion on the hull or damage to propellers.
The only means of measuring the ship's performance until now (1964) is the "measured mile".
For large tankers there were only two places suitable for making the measured mile runs,
one off Scotland and the other off the coast of Malta.
The whole aim of Shell's approach to the transmission and analysis of voyage data has been precision and speed.
To obtain reliable data great attention has been paid to the installation of the most accurate and reliable instruments possible.
For example, Shell's research laboratories have modified the design of a torsion meter so that its measurements can be fed directly to automatic data recording equipment (data logger) on board.
The data are transmitted to the GPO radio station at Bearley, Warwickshire or to the Dutch PTT station Scheveningenradio.
The signals are then sent on by land line to Shell Centre in London.
An exceptionally high degree of transmission accuracy is absolutely essential in such a system, which must operate over great distances under adverse conditions of interference, noise or fading.
A new type of automatic error-correcting equipment was developed by MIMC, "Autospec" .
This system requires no extra transmission path for requesting repetitions, as compared to the Dutch SITOR.
Teleprinter signals are changed into a special code and fed into the ships radio transmitter.
At the receiving end, Shell Centre London, the Autospec terminal can determine whether an error has occurred and, in the majority of cases, automatically correct the error.
