When Barbs and I were out shooting last week we stood on the centre traffic island at the bottom of Oxford Street East London South Africa photographing the beautiful bead and wire soccer statues. This woman caught my eye not only for her stylish attire but for the sheer spirit and chutzpah she showed me. Look at the detail of her dress. I think she could rival Paris in unique African style. She loved having her image taken, we were separated by a stream of busy traffic or I would have asked her name. I think I should just call her "Paris".
By the way if you see Rob Hefer on your streams please know that I sent him there, he is a fellow East London photographer and the nicest man. He is a new flickerite, have a look at his work.
CSX ES40DC 5264 leads a recrewed Q453 as O722 through West Palm Beach on a pretty nice evening in South Florida. Quite a rare catch for us South Florida railfans, and it was on a Sunday too.
Oh boy what a day this was for CSX. My friends and I had recieved word that Q453 had tied down in the Delta siding on the Auburndale Subdivision which is maybe 20-30 miles north of here. Q453s Winston crew went on the law so O722s Miami crew went to retrieve the train, Complications arose when the lead unit, SD70MACe rebuild 4536 would not load and could not lead the train of 100 or so cars. Originally, we thought that the slug set, YN2 6957 or other GP40-2s in Hialeah would make their way to retrieve the train as the yardmaster was driving the crew back to Hialeah. Unfortunately, that idea was scrapped and 5264 was set to lead the train southbound. They pulled out of Delta with the 40DC LHF and the MACe online but isolated. Things went well down the Auburndale Sub as well as the RTA corridor until Pompano. It was nearly 7 PM by the time they reached the Pompano Beach area and the crew would max out their hours around 8 PM. They decided to stop the train at the Pompano Beach Tri-Rail station, which they did, but somebody managed to pull a cut lever and split the train. After all of the nonsense was done, O722 went south to Miami probably arriving at Hialeah around 10 PM, well over 16 hours late.

The back of the lever frame in Detroit's Delray Tower bears the name of its manufacturer, Union Switch & Signal. Patent dates stop at June 23rd, 1914, yet the tower was built in 1945 (replacing an older, wooden structure). So did the levers and their attendant interlocking mechanism come from the current Delray's predecessor? It's not clear to me.

Maybach is known today as Mercedes-Benz's most up-market offering, which shows the immense respect that the legendary manufacturer from Stuttgart has for its long-defunct rival. The name once belonged to a marque all its own: the creation of brilliant engineer Wilhelm Maybach, whose engines powered Germany's revolutionary Zeppelin airships. Maybach automobiles were, in the 1920s and 1930s, considered Germany's finest, being built to a superior level of fit, finish, and engineering quality than their rivals.
This extended to the company's SW38, one of its smaller models, which was powered by a 3.8-litre six-cylinder overhead-camshaft engine and was the final Maybach introduced prior to World War II. Each was capable of 100mph, a performance benchmark for the era, with great flexibility provided by one of the company's innovative five-speed gearboxes. Coachwork was most often supplied by the great German coachbuilders such as Spohn and Gläser, both firms with which Maybach enjoyed long and successful relationships.
Like other great German cars of this era, the SW38 enjoyed commercial success, selling 620 chassis, but suffered from a high rate of attrition during World War II. It is believed that fewer than 150 remain in existence worldwide, many with heavy limousine bodies that were frequently specified by the firm's conservative clientele.
The SW38 offered here was acquired in Hungary years ago by a well-known German specialist. It was found complete, including its original 3.8-litre engine, but the original Pullman Limousine coachwork was in disrepair. It was decided that the chassis would be restored by Eastern European specialists with professionally crafted bodywork of a new design, based upon period styling drawings by the respected Karrosserie Spohn of Ravensburg and constructed using traditional methods. While SW38 Special Roadsters were produced in period, few have this car's sense of balance and powerful proportions, created by subtle improvements to the original designs.
The body features a low 'V' windscreen and beautiful pontoon-style wings sweeping elegantly in a broad curve over the wheels, while the belt-line flows harmoniously from the bonnet through the doors and down over the rear deck. The deck itself is nearly flush apart from the low-mounted spare with its metal cover, reminiscent of similarly attractive designs on the Mercedes-Benz 540 K. However, the Spohn Special Roadster is even more flamboyant by virtue of its broad sweep of chrome trim along the doors, reminiscent of a trailing comet, complemented on this car by plated hubcaps and an up-swung chrome running board. The convertible hood is relatively low-slung to the body, even when raised, a feature strikingly different from many German cabriolets of this period. Most importantly the overall presentation remains crisp and as sensational today back as it was in 1937, and complete down to the fitted luggage.
Most importantly, thanks to the Maybach DS G 35 five-speed manual transmission, this is still a wonderful highway performer, able to challenge many of its more famous rivals on the Alpine passes. All Maybachs were grand and imposing, but few were truly beautiful and fewer still were downright sporting. Possessing both dash and grace, this is one of the latter: an impressive tribute to German craftsmanship and engineering from one of the greatest makes of its generation. The car is offered with a copy of an old German Fahrzeugbrief.

The Lukoil station no longer exists. It was torn down and a new building was erected in its place.
Oh my goodness, days gone by but if only one of these could be mine. Again I think I prefer the inset one, the detail all over is so much better.
Here's a start on the next catalogue I have, a bit of a smaller one this. Hilary Morgan bridals was the name, no date but would have been late 1980's. Two styles on this page, both just lovely and just what I would have liked.
I was hoping the people this belonged to wouldn't see me - I was leaning over the fence and into their yard to get this. ;-)
