What a fantastic sight and sound this must have been as brand new D299 proudly displaying headboard as the "100th Type 4 locomotive build by English Electric at Vulcan Foundry Newton-le-Willows" idles away on Wargrave Road on a very wet October 24th 1960.
Friend and former work colleague Eddie Bellass would have had first hand 'gen' about this as his father worked the signal boxes in the area and Eddie maintained the Vulcan Switchboard (PABX) for the then GPO.
* D299 (40099) was withdrawn October 12th 1984 and later scrapped at Doncaster Works.

The network closet is only about 30cm wider and twice as long as what you see in this photo. It has its own aircon which runs constantly, keeping the room at about 19C. The second UPS in the photo actually feeds the circuit to the 4 outlets at my desk. To the right is the cabinet where I store all of my camera equipment.
Here is the latest immersion view of the room.

There are 4 main subnets in my home network:
Main - Green cables connect all main subnet components. This includes a 24 port 1GbE switch and a 12 port 10GbE switch connected via a 10GbE SFP+ cable. This is the main network of my home connecting all computers, printers, wifi APs, Media Players, and a Buffalo Terastation NAS which acts as the media server.
Guest - Yellow cables connect guest connections to half of a 24 port 1GbE switch. Yellow cable also connects the guest VLAN to the main network access points. This subnet is isolated from the rest of the network.
Surveillance - Blue cables connect all video surveillance equipment to a 16 port 1GbE POE switch. This includes wiring for 10 security cameras and a Synology RS814+ NAS containing 4 WD 3TB SE WD3000F9YZ HDD. Currently have 8 HIK Vision security cameras running, 5 DS-2CD2032-I 4mm bullet cameras and 3 DS-2CD2132F-I 2.8mm dome cameras.
MODnet - Orange cables connect 4 set top boxes to the WAN through a 5 port 1GbE Switch for China Telecom Movie on Demand Internet TV service.
Interweb - Red Cables are outside of my network, which includes connection to the modem and the community network.
Concerning the photo, its another version using the 35mm Cron. Took a different approach with lighting this time using two flood lights. The shot is an overlay of several HDR tonemap images over an exposure fusion from a 5 shot 1EV step bracket. Post processing is very different from previous approaches, though not sure if I like it better or not...

Upgrades since last photo includes a new NAS with 10G SFP+ interface. The old Buffalo NAS is now used as an rsync backup destination. I also installed 2 19u rails to push out the bottom half of the rack by 6cm. This allows enough depth for NAS installation in bottom half and plenty of room for wire management in the top half. I think its done for now...
There are 4 main subnets in my home network:
Main - Green cables connect all main subnet components. This includes a 24 port 1GbE switch and a 12 port 10GbE switch connected via a 10GbE SFP+ cable. This is the main network of my home connecting all computers, printers, wifi APs, Media Players, and a Synology RS3614xs NAS with 9 WD 3TB SE WD3000F9YZ HDD which acts as the media server and file server for all computers in my home. This NAS and computers in my study are on the 10GbE network.
Guest - Yellow cables connect guest connections to half of a 24 port 1GbE switch. Yellow cable also connects the guest VLAN to the main network access points. This subnet is isolated from the rest of the network.
Surveillance - Blue cables connect all video surveillance equipment to a 16 port 1GbE POE switch. This includes wiring for 10 security cameras and a Synology RS814+ NAS containing 4 WD 4TB SE WD4000F9YZ HDD. Currently have 8 HIK Vision security cameras running, 5 DS-2CD2032-I 4mm bullet cameras and 3 DS-2CD2132F-I 2.8mm dome cameras.
MODnet - Orange cables connect 4 set top boxes to the WAN through a 5 port 1GbE Switch for China Telecom Movie on Demand Internet TV service.
Interweb - Red Cables are outside of my network, which includes connection to the modem and the community network.
Concerning the photo, its another version using the 35mm Cron. Lit with two flood lights through umbrellas from front top and bottom, reflector at right side, and backside lighting with a 100w quartz halogen through umbrella. The shot is an overlay of several HDR tonemap images over an exposure fusion from a 4 shot 1EV step bracket.
With my recent photographic activity in the Widnes & Runcorn area it is great to look back on how it was in my childhood. An image from my friend and fellow work colleague Eddie Bellass taken from the privileged position of the PABX Room at the ICI Central Labs. Overlooking the LNWR Widnes South station it gave the perfect vantage point to capture Fairburn 2-6-4T 42606 (8B) restarting the 12.10 Liverpool Lime Street to Warrington Bank Quay Low Level train in the summer of 1960. Widnes South closed to passenger traffic with the timetable changes of September 10th 1962.

Just finished optimizing power distribution wiring. Installed a Tripp-Lite 15A metered PDU and 9ea of 10' long power cords, which are now in a bundle down the middle of the right side panel. Surprised it only draws 2A, but the server and old NAS are not powered up. Next upgrade will be end of November with completion of 10G upgrade for part of the network. You can see the thicker CAT6A cables next to the older CAT6 cables. I got one spool and replaced wiring for most of the 2nd floor connections which includes my study and media room. Already have a 10G switch and upgraded the 24 port 1G switch to one with a 10G uplink so the switches are connected via SFP+ at 10G. Will get first 10G NIC my next trip to the USA. NAS with 10G is still too expensive. Maybe next year...

Concerning the photo, I typically use the 18mm Super-Elmar for this shot, but I decided to use the 35mm Cron this time. First results were pretty bad with the same lighting conditions used with the 18mm. There was significant lens flare from the ceiling lights, I guess thats why the 35 Cron has such a big hood. I was able to get a better shot by taping sheets of paper over 2 of the ceiling lights, shading the lens with a gray card, and using a reflector below the camera to improve the lighting. End results were much better perspective and more vibrant colors than the 18mm. The shot is an overlay of several HDR tonemap images over an exposure fusion from a 5 shot 1EV step bracket.

Historically significant yacht, Alloy Yahts first yacht over 100'. With the first carbon-fibre mast and an efficient fully-battened mainsail, 32.6m Esprit featured the transfer of technology from America’s Cup design into the superyacht cruising domain.
My second job on the railway, in 1986, was 'PABX clerk' at Aberdeen station. This reflected the fact that one of the duties was that of switchboard operator.
In reality, while the railway telephones were on a PABX (private automatic branch exchange), BR's local interface with the outside world was through this manual switchboard. In between announcing trains, dealing with the public at the counter of the station supervisor's office, preparing guards' train lists and so on, I had to answer incoming calls here and connect them to the desired extension.
In addition to Aberdeen itself, the direct lines from the exchange went as far south as Carmont signal box and north to Inverurie. The four-digit extension numbers are still etched into my memory: Area Manager, 4201; Time Office, 4265; Roster Clerk, 4293; Lost Property 4249; Parcels Office 4266; BT Police 4288...
Next door, the exchange whirred and clicked away all day. The whole apparatus was replaced by a digital facility in 1988; but, you know, I think if you put me down in front of that venerable old switchboard today it would be like riding a bike!
