lovingly restored, this RNLI ( Life Boats in UK ) Engine was an exhibit at the Honley Show, Farnley Tyas, West Yorkshire, UK. June 2016.
It's a chilly November morning, and Norfolk Southern's 172 train is moving timetable north onto a stretch of single-track main line at South Fork, NC. This is the NS Charlotte District, which is the portion the former Southern Railway's Washington-New Orleans main line that extends from Salisbury, NC to Greenville, SC. South Fork stands 390.3 miles from Washington, DC.
This section of the railroad has plenty of curves, high fills, deep cuts, and bridges over various bodies of water large and small, and plenty of kudzu and other vegetation – quite a contrast from my "home turf", the NS Lafayette District in the cornfields of central Illinois.
The signals are of Southern Railway origin.

This S55 was specially ordered and built at the St, Louis factory, sold new by Kumpf Motor Car Co. Denver and delivered to its first owners Alex and Ruthie Greenmayer 7th September 1963 at a cost of $ 3800
The S55 was the sporty model of the Monteray and offered the Breezeway ventilation package as standard equipment. 1963 marked the first year of the S-55 as the sport/performance/luxury option equipped with a 330bhp 390ci V8 Super Marauder engine with 4 bbl carburettor. The 4 door Breezaway Hardtop was only offered for the first half of the year during which only 1203 were produced.

Fowler Steam Ploughing Engine.
No. - 14257.
Reg. - KE 2494.
Name – 'Linkey'.
Built - 1918.
Thank you for taking the time to view, comment and fave my Photo, it’s greatly appreciated.
Compound steam engine driving the ventilation fan at Sutton Manor Colliery. Walker Brothers at Wigan made this engine and the fan to which it was attached in 1910. The cylinders of the 520hp engine were 23" and 36" diameter. At the time of my visit this engine was on standby only.
The specification is for the moment a T120 with only one carb.
It will be converted soon in twin Carbs
Unidentified stationary engine, believed to be in the Lancashire / Yorkshire area, circa 1971.
Original photographer unknown.
Engine details of an 1893 Otto steam engine. The engine was manufactured in Manchester, England and used in a grain elevator located in Emporia, Kansas. The engine was running when photographed . . . 123 years after it was manufactured.

This engine design was inspired by a light gauge train I saw at the Beddgelert station in Wales. It looked totally backwards, like it had its tender out front and was going back end first, but there was a tender behind it too and the drive wheels were under this other tender-like protuberance.
If you visit enough Poundland stores you may well find quite a different selection of Matchbox on the pegs. Most have 2023 Case B but you can also find batches from 2021 too in long cards sourced from the Far East. One such branch had Case C in from that year and although most of the good castings had gone I was tempted enough to grab a couple of these Hazard Squad Fire engines.
Generic in design but entirely credible in styling this casting remains popular despite now having its entire body made of plastic.
Mint and boxed.
It was particularly cold this morning, and the Beech Mountain's crew decided to stop by the shops (And their vehicles) to grab their heavy jackets.
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.

Will check old notes for description shortly
