Trailing light trails of a Transport for Wales class 150 sprinter heading north towards Trefforest at Devils Bridge. This is one of the units that has been converted to comply with the new Persons with Reduced Mobility regulations. This includes upgrading the destination indicators to dot-matrix display, and with zooming you can just make out that the destination of this train is Aberdare.
the second dotmatrix project event was a blast. both carolina clearwater and old stone revue flexed their talents.

Shooting Max was fun. this was between sets and I was trying to get something quick between all the movement. I have a love/hate relationship between this one because there was little to no light where I shot it.

A scene that has greatly changed in the passing years. The view is of the top of Tipton Road at Dudley, looking towards its junction with Birmingham Road, with the former Midland Red bus garage (Dudley Garage) seen behind the oncoming bus.
Today, a large traffic roundabout and modified road layout occupies much of the ground in this view. Dudley bus garage is no more, the 'Duncan Edwards' bypass running directly through the site of the former bus garage.
As for the Walsall based Metrobus 2791, this had been an exhibit at the 1984 commercial motor show. Unlike its sisters, the bus sported a digital style dot-matrix destination display housed in a larger than normal aperture. This made the bus easily recognisable when head-on from a distance, setting it apart from it contemporaries.
Electronically controlled dot-matrix destinations were a new fangled thing in the early 1980s, and were of a complex eleco-mechanical design. Consequently, these destination displays could be very temperamental and also difficult to set up. Often when they went wrong, the display became an unreadable scrabble of yellow dots. I do not recall the maker of these destination displays, but it was likely Bright-tech or Hanover Displays? The only other West Midlands Metrobuses fitted with these dot-matrix destinations were the 14 Tracline-65 Metrobuses built for the short-lived guided busway at Short Heath in Birmingham.
2791 was withdrawn in 2004 and sold to Roberts of Hugglescote for further use. There is on Flickr, a 2018 dated image of this bus in use as a burger bus in Półwiejska, Poznań, Poland.

Dan X. Solo’s Special-effects and Topical Alphabets (Dover Books, 1978)
Like many Solotype alphabets, the origin of Hollywood Lights is unclear. It is also shown in a 1974 Formatt catalog. Next to this page is Hollywood Stars, where the dots are replaced with stars.
Digitized by Solotype in 1999, but with various differences, including regularized bar lengths on ‘E’ and ‘F’, a heavier ‘Q’ tail, lighter vertical strokes on the ‘5’, and a misplaced extra dot on the bottom of the ‘9’.
Arduino UNO provides 6 bit data and the necessary handshaking logic for a vintage Burroughs SSD0132-0040 Self-Scan gas plasma display c.1976. The row of LED blinky lights, aside from being mesmerizing, shows the state of the interface logic with delays built into the sketch to help diagnostics (on my first attempt I had the 6 data bits in reverse order).
The wire shrouded in red heatshrink tube on tag 10 of the lower connector is the +250 volt DC supply required by the Self-Scan
