2012 Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 integral body/chassis with a Cummins B Srs ISB 6.7 litre inline 6 turbo diesel engine, Reg.SN12AMO of First West of England Bath Park & Ride (No.33731) at Bath, 5 October 2022. The Enviro 400 was developed from the Alexander ALX400/Dennis Trident 2.
Flat 4 1486cc. 52bhp. Produced 1947 - 1954. Early engines had hydraulic cam followers though this was deleted on later versions, officially due to noise though there was also the fact that people would not change their oil frequently enough and the things clogged up. The trick now is to set the valve rocker gap to nearly zero to take account of crankcase expansion. It was not a trouble free engine. Head gasket failures were frequent because the studs did not go very far into the block and thermal expansion allowed the wet liners to move. On early engines the crankshaft was prone to breakage. Partly due to the web machining and partly due to torsion from the flywheel which in production was heavier than the designer had specified. Also found in the Jowett Jupiter sports car when it was fitted with higher compression pistons - the gasket problem having been mostly cured. Even all this does not detract from what most people consider to be a fabulous sporting saloon.
Rail cars shot at EI/ ISO 25. Reversal experiment.
17 year old, expired, vintage, Eastman Kodak 5245 EXR 50D motion picture film shot at EI/ ISO 25. Usually an ECN-2 process film, I haven’t been completely happy with the results of the negatives. So, I decided to try my hand at color reversal with ECN-2 film. There is a lot of mythology about reversing ECN-2 film and not a lot written by those who do it/have done it. I am naïve enough to believe that any film can be reversed. I still think that.
My first attempt at reversing EXR 5245 resulted in great negatives coming out of the first developer and blank negatives coming out of the final wash!?! I have heard of this happening. My immediate theory was something is interfering with the second developer leaving only the first developer (B&W) results which were washed away in the bleach. Or the color developer is dead. Some internet sleuthing deduced that another possibility was that the film was not exposed enough. The film should be overexposed a stop or two (this is controversial), and it should be overdeveloped in the first developer – use a paper developer at fuller strength and overdeveloped in the color developer. I was already using a pretty strong developer from The British Journal of Photography from the 1960s. But not as high a dose, at longer times.
Essentially: BJP Universal Paper Developer
3.2 grams Metol
12.5 grams Hydroquinone
56 grams sodium sulfite
63 grams sodium carbonate anhyd
2 grams potassium bromide
water to 1 liter.
Normal use with film is 1:4 dilution 2 to 4 minutes at 68 degrees F
The first failed development I used this at 1:5 for 5 minutes at 70 degrees F.
The color developer is RA-4 color print developer. In this case it is Fuji EC RA 108 P1-R developer replenisher. I use it concentrated and I usually can dilute it anywhere from 1:14 to 1:29 for negative films. RA-4 developer and E-6 developer are the closest to the native ECN-2 process with their Kodak CD-3 color developing agent. I did not think of it at the time, but process E-6 times might have been better.
The initial process looked like this:
Remjet Prebath (1 minute)
Rinse (4 x )
1st developer (300ml) 80 degrees F for 7 minutes
Stop bath 30 seconds
Wash 3 minute
Remjet removal however
Reexpose 2 minutes
Color Developer (300ml) 6 minutes at 105 degrees F
Wash 3 minutes
Color Bleach 5 minutes
Wash 3 minutes
Color Fix 5 minutes
Wash 5 minutes + fotoflow
Hang to dry
These results are from the second attempt. I extended time, temperature, and dilution for the first developer – 75ml developer to 225 ml of water (1 part dev to 3 parts water), at 80 degrees for 7 minutes. This produced heavy B&W negatives. I forgot to put some potassium thiocyanate in. I also forgot to ensure the pH of the color developer was around 10.59.
Color developer was about 1 part developer concentrate to 11 parts water (25 ml of developer concentrate) at 105 degrees F for 6 minutes (doubling the original ECN-2 development times). Stop is sodium bisulfite bath. Bleach and fix times were extended from ECN-2 times to 5 minutes each.
Results are here. The “slides” were a little dark but they scanned nicely. I eventually scanned them at 48 bit RGB at 4800 DPI. Is that overkill? I dunno, they look like slides, however the dust becomes like coal chunks. More to care for….
Remember if you use this process that I have only tested it once, so far, on well expired, overexposed 50D a couple of generations old. I have no other experience yet, hopefully tonight….

Riverside steam ralley
Over 20 full sized steam engines will be colouring the Riverside pastures on this fine April 27th 2014 weekend, including the only surviving Foden-built Showman's engine 'Prospector'. Steam fans will be thrilled with the authentic results and attention to detail our full-size and miniature engine owners uphold.

The San Francisco Fire Department lost two of its members from Engine Company 26, who were both critically injured during an explosion while bravely fighting a house fire in the Diamond Heights neighborhood on June 2, 2011. Both died at the hospital as a result of their injuries after all rescussitative measures were taken by the Emergency Trauma staff at San Francisco General Hospital.
Days later firefighters from around California and around the country gathered to pay their respects during a funeral service.
Several Units from Los Angeles Fire Department were on hand to support San francisco in their loss. These included 3 new KME Pumpers, Engines 56, 94 and 96, a Ford E250 Passenger van and Field Mobile Mechanic 1 on a Ford F350 chassis.
Owned by the South Peace Centennial Museum, this is the oldest engine in our collection. Very few of this small, early model were produced. It came to Heisler AB in 1912 & to the Spirit River/Woking area in 1922 where it was used for threshing & to power a sawmill until the late 1930s. In 1964 it was purchased by Fred Tveter & Arnold Christianson who took it to Valhalla & restored it. In 1967 it moved to the McLean farm near Beaverlodge to form the basis of the first Pioneer Day which led to the establishment of the South Peace Centennial Museum. It was last used in 1998 as the 1999 testing confirmed the boiler unsafe for further operation. The engine is complete & authentic in all detail & the SPCM hopes to eventually raise the $55,000 needed to replace the boiler.

Once upon a time, the 5-series was any tactile and agile hot rod for your autobahn; today, it is more of a roomy, luxury conveyance—still very good, but not at the level it once enjoyed. Almost all engines are turbocharged: the diesel inline-six; gasoline four-cylinder, inline-six, a...

The high performance 1.6 litre GTi Hatch was launched in 1984, instantly gaining cult status. For 1987 the model received a larger cylinder head and more power, quoted at 115bhp. Followed by a 1.9 litre version of 120bhp in 1986
The 1.6 GTi continued in production until 1994, outlasting the 1.9 version which ceased in 1993. Both version sold well, bouyed by their performance and the Gti handling became the benchmark for others to follow,
In its later years UK sales of the Gti and particularly the 1,9 litre version were adversly affected by spirraling insurance costs, particlarly among younger buyers who had become the models target buyer
