ADDITIONAL NOTES.
With British Rail having gone for air brakes as default standard for wagons in 1983 the bulk of the Civil Engineers fleet remained largely vacuum braked or unfitted vehicles well into the 1980's but as more and more ex revenue air braked vehicles became available so more of the older dedicated engineers types disappeared. The problem came when certain types of vehicles were required which hadn't been cascaded from the revenue fleet like suitable wagons to carry ballast spoil which could be loaded and unloaded by mechanical excavators. The older short wheel based 'Grampus', 'Lamprey's and 'Tunney's were very susceptible to floor damage when unloaded by digger so BR set out in the late 1980's and early 90's on a conversion programme for redundant Air braked vans using the underframes as chassis for new spoil wagons. An initial conversion programme saw former VJX Ferry vans converted to 'Sea Hares' but the most successful conversion was the redundant air braked goods vans from VAA, VBA, VCA and VDA to ZCA 'Sea Urchins'. Further ZCA vehicles were built using chassis from ex OBA Open goods vehicles too in the 110xxx range.
The vehicle seen here is loaded with chalk removed from one of the many cuttings through the North Downs during weekend engineering work and will be destined for landfill at East Peckham Tip on the Medway Valley line.

What once was a little carwash on the corner of 12th and Gilmore is now a dominating presence in the 12 south District. They could see it but not many could, Jay Pennington from an operational standpoint whereas Billy Inman sees things from an esthetics point of view, working together things made sense. The design and concept evolved over the 13 months it took to take a little carwash to the multi-environment restaurant/bar/patio/beer garden that opened in April 2012. Urban Grub offers a feeling of cosiness with its private cabanas and its many fire pits as well as the open-air atmosphere in the beer garden with an in-outdoor bar. With all custom designs, there is something new and beautiful to be found around each corner.

------------------------------------------
When I started my career with IBM, one of my co-workers was a very interesting engineer, Marvin K. He was extremely intelligent and curious about many things, including astronomy, science, electronics and photography.
About a year after his death in 2004, his wife called me and said that she had a ham radio that he had built as a teenager and she thought I might like to have it. After I brought it home, I noticed that curled inside of the large copper coil, were several sheets of hand-written notes that described a lot about the construction and early use of this very basic radio transmitter. Typical of Marvin, the note was very detailed and contained a great deal of information about the radio. Here is his narrative....
"This is the short-wave amateur radio transmitter I built when I was age 13 in 1931-1932 in Sac City, Iowa. I operated under the call letters of W9AZA issued for the 80 meter CW band of 3.5 to 3.9 kilocycles per second (now called Kilo Hertz, or KHz, continuous wave, where the transmitter is keyed on and off with a telegraph-type key, using International Morse Code, NO voice operation)
This transmitter is a self-excited, push-pull oscillator, using two type ’45 tubes, where a heavy radio frequency current is generated, which oscillated back and forth at the resonant frequency of a tuned circuit consisting to two things: the large copper coil and the main tuning capacitor (or ‘condenser’). Energy is electromagnetically coupled to the two smaller copper coils which are connected to another tuning capacitor and the antenna system. This provides another resonant circuit which is tuned to the same radio frequency as the oscillator. Energy is then radiated from the antenna system…which was a zeppelin-type antenna with a 132 foot flat top, end fed with two parallel wires spaced 8 inches apart, one connected to one end of the 132’ antenna, the other one dead ended there..(not connected).
A separate power supply provided power to this transmitter. It consisted of a 115-volt AC power transformer, one type ’80 rectifier tube, two 8mfd, 450 volt filter capacitors, a filter choke and bleeder resistor. The transformer also supplied 5 volts AC for the ’80 tube filaments, 2 ½ volts AC for the ’45 tube filaments and 500 to 600 volts AC, center-tapped, for the nominally 250 to 300 volts DC for the transmitter tube plates. Plate power input to the transmitter oscillator circuit was maybe 20 or 30 watts, maximum. (I couldn’t afford voltmeters or ammeters which would have told me more...!) My radius of operation was Iowa and the adjacent states – seldom further.
My short-wave receiver was initially a 1 tube regenerative receiver I built and later a Super Wasp receiver, that my neighbor across the street had built and had replaced with a more up-to-date factory-built SW receiver. The Pilot Super-Wasp required a 6-volt car-battery for the tube filaments and a B- battery eliminator (connected to the 115 volts DC house current) for the 45, 90 and 180 volts DC the receiver used. It had plug-in coils to cover the 20, 40 80 and 160 meter amateur bands, as well as the broadcast band. It was regenerative also.
I operated mainly from 1932 thru 1940. The license had to be renewed, with proof of use, every 3 years or so. I finally let it run out….should have kept it active. My license was W9AZA, was a re-issue and came out when the W9K ---‘s (a very early call)...were coming out. My neighbor got W9KDL as the same time I got mine. He helped me, and we practiced code together via a telegraph line he installed between his house, mine and another 1 block away and one more a mile away..!
The plastic cover over the transmitter is not part of the original, but is just to keep the dust off. The cover, from an IBM type 650 scientific computer magnetic drum (circa 1955-1960) just happened to be the right size…!"
Photo info...shot with a Nikon D750 and Nikon 70-180mm Macro lens. Lit with a single Alien Bee and a gold reflector. This was a focus stack of a dozen exposures, all blended with CombineZP.
A storm in 2000 blew down this old Mulberry tree and after it was cut at the stump, we noticed the distinct rings on the tree and were able to date them.
The tree was 70 years old.

PERSONAL FUN FACT: One day in early 2003, Dad took my sister and me to the KB Toys located in our mall. I saw a Travel in Style Barbie while we were there. I fell in love with her gorgeous face and hairstyle. Even though there was an African American version available that day, I opted to get the blonde doll which was rather unusual for me. I was so captivated by the blonde, I decided to get her. Plus, I thought she came with a bunch of goodies--extra outfits, shoes, and accessories! I still remember counting out exactly twelve dollars in change for her. Sometimes Dad would let us take all his change to pay for toys (not that he didn't buy us stuff with cash too). I named my Travel in Style doll "Heidi" and ever since that day, she was one of my favorites. Since my previous favorite doll, 2001 Sparkling Jasmine, was starting to show her age from so much play, it was great that I found another doll to shower with affection. Plus, Heidi was on the 1999 body mold, which fit more of the fashions that were currently sold in stores. She could properly wear all those awesome outfits that I struggled to use on Jasmine. However, not long after getting her, I made the STUPID decision to cut her hair off. It was an incredibly impulsive act that I regretted immediately. I recall being seized by the random desire to hack off her tresses after seeing a stylish blonde bob on an actress while watching t.v. I vividly remember pulling Heidi out of the drawer she was kept in and taking her into the bathroom for the haircut. Heidi's long, beautiful, platinum hair was no longer. I cried about the whole ordeal even though it was my own fault. Dad felt so bad for me, that he took me out shopping for a new Travel in Style Barbie. However she was nowhere to be found. She had already been out of date when I first found her at KB Toys. In those few months, she had entirely vanished from all our local stores, including other KB Toys locations. Since there was nothing else Dad could do, he very kindly bought me a Travel in Style Barbie off eBay. This doll in the photo is "Heidi #2." She came from the UK since there weren't any listings for her in the US. Despite her origin, the price of the doll wasn't terrible (although I'm sure after shipping and import duties, Dad paid a ton for her). I remember the day Heidi arrived in the mail like it was yesterday. For some reason, I was in the shower (even though I have always been a person who showered in the evenings, for some reason I was bathing in the middle of the day). I heard Dad come in with a package, so I quickly got out of the shower and got dressed. I was so ecstatic and grateful that the precious cargo arrived safely. She had to make an overseas journey. I knew I would cherish and appreciate this Heidi even more than the first. We went out that afternoon to go shopping and I took my new Heidi with me. Dad stopped at the ATM to get some money. While we were in the bank drive through, Dad took Heidi and made her "drive" the car and talk. He then decided to throw my BRAND NEW DOLL out the window and drive off. Dad loved making jokes like this, and most of the time I found them funny (although there were a few incidents when Dad's jokes accidentally caused damage to a doll...ahem, poor Chandler). Dad backed up the car and grabbed Heidi off the pavement....needless to say I was NOT happy about it! Now I can laugh about the whole situation since Heidi was not harmed in any way. I've come to treasure this second Travel in Style Barbie more than first (who I no longer have because she became a body donor since her haircut was not salvageable). She is probably my most sentimental Barbie in my entire collection.
I was besotted with the doll on the right, the moment we first met. Despite her quite frazzled appearance, she was immediately distinguishable to me as my beloved 2001 Travel in Style Barbie. I dubbed her Hildi, so her name goes well with my childhood doll. It's amazing having two of these ladies once again...although I never had two with their full length factory tresses at the same time before. What makes Hildi extra special is that she was a gift. In March 2023, a massive package (split into two boxes) arrived at my doorstep. Inside we found 166 dolls--some in perfect condition, others who were in dire need of help. Hildi was somewhere in the middle in terms of quality and condition. But I knew she could easily be revived. I had loads of spare outfits for her too, what with buying two of Travel in Style Barbie as a kid. She was part of the "Mountains of Monsters Lot," and will always be one of the most memorable dollies from said bin. It's also heart warming having the "American" version of her again (since my other doll originated from the UK). They have subtly different faces, although I doubt that has anything to do with the countries they were released in.
BOX DATE: 1982
MANUFACTURER: Mattel
DOLLS IN LINE: Barbie; Ken (dated 1983)
BODY TYPE: 1966; Twist 'N Turn waist; straight arms; bend & snap legs; small defined toes
HEAD MOLD: 1971 "Steffie"
IMPORTANT NOTES: This same Barbie doll was originally sold as 1975 Hawaiian Barbie, wearing a different style bikini and wrap. The 1982 dolls were manufactured in the Philippines (this is the way you can distinguish your doll's date without having her original outfit).
***My doll is wearing 1978 Fashion Favorites Summer Romance #2785.
PERSONAL FUN FACT: Ever since I got "The Ultimate Barbie Book" in 2010, I've coveted this beautiful Hawaiian Barbie. She caught my eye right away, as I skimmed through the pages of the 60s and 70s Barbie section. She was made during a time when Barbie was almost always Caucasian. She has one of the most beautiful faces I have ever seen on a 70s/80s Barbie doll, and I seriously couldn't believe my luck when I found her. She was one of the 86 dolls that my sister and I adopted from the "Ken Suitcase lot" of 2016. When my sister and I first spotted the luggage filled with Barbie dolls, we only intended to purchase a handful of dolls (being that the seller wanted $2 per doll). While scouring the entire suitcase for particular dolls, I came across this wonderful lady! I immediately knew who she was--I could envision her picture from my Barbie book. Even though she was pretty beat up looking, and her body was a tad loose, I knew she'd have to come home with me. She was one of the ten dolls that my sister and were first going to purchase. Even though we ended up being able to come home with the entire suitcase loaded with almost 100 dollies, this Hawaiian Barbie was still one of the greatest finds. In fact, she's easily one of my very favorite, most special dolls from the 1980s. Owning her is a dream come true! The first Hawaiian Barbies like my doll have box dates of 1975 (and were reissued with slightly altered packaging and leis in 1978, but still dated 1975). Interestingly enough, I know that my doll is actually from 1982, based on what I've read in collector's books. My gal was manufactured in the Philippines, which is the last country these Hawaiian Barbies were made in. So while she's the same doll as a 1975 Hawaiian Barbie, her country make indicated she is in fact a later version!
