Railfan trip on the Providence and Worcester (plus a bit of Northeast Corridor) at the start of fall foliage time. A lot of shots through windows that could have used a bit of cleaning, but beautiful scenery and a good time was had by all.

The John Hollis flatline compressor, a very subtle effect that I've found works best on bass and acoustic guitar. It's an optical compressor that doesn't have that heavy 'squish' to it you get with others (like the Orange Squeezer).
The largest (that I am aware of) in the Kismet range of pumps by William Turner & Bro LTD of Sheffield England.
The one has been restored with considerable effort!
We popped through into another hall that now housed three derelict JOY compressors but had obviously house one big turbine at some point. Judging by the labelling around the place it was a turbo generator for electricity production in this part..
This big Compressor is sitting at my house. I want to get rid of it,but I don't know how. It's pretty cool looking though. Wish I could just cut the face off of it and mount it on a wall.

Pictures of the air compressor I bought on eBay, half torn apart. Someone had added a larger-than-stock dual-piston pump head and a bigger motor to get more CFM. The head had been badly abused (run without an air filter, who knows what other indignities it suffered) and it did not work well. Leaks everywhere.
I tore it down as far as it seemed to need, turned over the reed valves and cleaned up their sealing surfaces, and now it works great!
