Thomson.co.uk titles, with additional TUI UK and 'Operated by Britannia Airways' titles on the forward fuselage
This aircraft was delivered to ILFC International Lease Finance Corporation and leased to Britannia Airways as G-BYAF in Jan-93. It was wet-leased to Freedom Air International in Dec-95 for the winter season, returning to Britannia in Apr-96. Britannia Airways was renamed Thomson.co.uk in Nov-04. The aircraft was returned to the lessor in May-08 and immediately sold to FedEx Federal Express as N923FD. It was initially stored at Victorville, CA, USA until it was converted to freighter configuration at Singapore-Paya Lebar in Mar-09. Current, updated (Jul-19).

Hello friends!
So i had just replaced my girl Chantelle's clothing, straightened and cut the wig and exchanged the body not too long ago and now shes done! Yes? no? maybe so? XD well it's in the eye of the beholder kind of situation:-)
Me-" Okay are you ready now with your outfit?"
C-" No i don't wanna go take a picture i wanna go outside!..."
Me-" But i already set up the poster Chantelle, it'll be easier to do it here"-
C-" No!" (Runs out and sits on the front porch making a stink face)
Me-" Well, i mean sure you can if you want to that bad...Just don't move too much...the bee's sense fear."
C-" wait...WHAT?" (Runs inside screaming and hiding)
Me-" Just kidding Chantelle, XD we can go outside im just playing with you"
C-" Yeah...haha..ha..." (Looking around wildly)
Me-" Well...the bee's wont hurt you, but maybe the big family sparrows will snatch you up."
C-"What...wait tell me you're kidding?!"
Me-"Nope."
Maybe one day i'll confess about that, but first i'll wait till she apologizes about stealing all her friends clothes and claiming them as her own... Oh Chantie...
My story- Episode 7----
The moment after my shoot and interview was one of the most intense moments of my life. Mike asked me to sit down at at a pristine white desk. My entire career rested on the moment he opened his lips to speak.
I gulped.
"After reviewing your portfolio, We have come to the decision to hire you as a portrait and runway model here at Olsen!"
My heart skipped at beat at that sentence. This was my turning point. Everything in my life would change.
"Thank you, Thank you!" I squealed as I jumped up from the desk and shook his hand wildly. He smiled, nodded, stacked some papers, and headed for his office as I strode in to the dressing room.
"I made the cut!" I exclaimed for all of the girls to hear. Some smiled and daintily clapped, While Janette ran up to me and gave me a hug.
"I'm so glad to hear that!" She said, pulling away from me. I smiled in response. After that, We both headed back to the sofa to chat. She invited me for coffee at her favourite place that I've never heard of before called, "Black Bean." After spending some time with her, I knew that we'd instantly become great friends.
* * * * *
Lately I've come to realize how great of a person Janette is. We share a lot of the same interests, Like artwork, music, and of course, sports! She's like the sister I never had. Other then my own two, but, They weren't exactly my best friends. She's also very pretty, I envy her! Ever since I came she's been sooo nice to me and gave me a warm welcome. I feel like I can share anything with her. She builds me up, Like friends are supposed to do, Right? But in all honesty, I really don't recall feeling this way about someone before.
It feels weird. Not like the kind of feeling you feel with your family, or your pets, or even friends. It's different. And I'm not sure as to what it is.
But I have a suspicion.
Replaced the SLR adjustable gas block with another made by JP. Had I bought the 12.5 inch Apex free float instead of the carbine lenght, I would have kept the SLR because it would have been inside of the free float tube. I also replaced the trigger guard. Now all I need to do is find me a good accurate load for it.
Blades on port engine replaced but engineers not happy with alignment/balancing issues.

Review LG LED IPS Monitor 23MP65HQ (LG 23EA63V replaced) An Phat PC by dtien87 ductien daoductien - www.anphatpc.com.vn
Replaced almost all indoor lights with warm white LED replacements. Much more energy efficient and also gives a more modern look.
I dont like the look of the blueish white LEDs, these are much better and give a more "usable" light.
Everything can be done at home by yourself, even the big cluster lights. The manual says it needs to be done by the garage / dealer, but save yourself some money and do it yourself!
All lights are either 36mm / 39mm festoon C5W or W5W / T10 Wedge bulbs
I didn't replace this sky in this one...just tagged it because I thought I would use this to replace another sky in some of my shots. If you happen to use it in replacing yours all I ask is that you drop me a note and share your creation with me -would love to see what you did
Replacing an earlier digital photo with a better version 26-Oct-19.
An early A300 (c/n 037), first flown with the Airbus test registration F-WUAU, this aircraft was delivered to SAA South African Airways as ZS-SDB in Dec-76. It was withdrawn from service and stored at Johannesburg in Apr-01. After 25 years with South African, it was sold to Onur Air (Turkey) as TC-ONY in Nov-01. The aircraft was permanently retired at Istanbul-Ataturk in Apr-06 and was broken up there in 2009.
having been replaced in the 52 weeks group this year by her super-cute (read:obnoxious) sister, alice is now a part of the 12 months for dogs group... and this is our first photo for the month of january! i am excited to meet some new dogs and photographers here, and also to catch up with some old friends from 52 weeks and beyond.
for those who don't know us, i am kelli and this is my browndog, alice. she is a lab/chow/dachshund mix who i have had from two weeks of age. she will turn four years old in 2012, which is so hard to believe. alice is an active, athletic girl and i hope to be able to include some of her activities here in our twelve month project. this photo is from our much-needed six mile hike through the frozen woods this afternoon. we sure wish we had some snow to include in our january photo, but it has been an unusually mild winter for us. maybe we will have some white stuff in february!
Langmeil Lutheran Church. This 1888 church replaced an earlier 1846 church. The congregation here started as the German heart of the Barossa. By 1857 the greater Langmeil area contained 777 people with 113 families and it included 243 children born in SA. At that time “greater Langmeil” covered almost all of the Barossa Valley. Pastor Kavel was the resident pastor of Langmeil and in 1854 a manse was built for him near the church. Pastor Kavel died in 1860 and was buried in Langmeil cemetery. As the founder of the Lutheran Church in Australia in 1838 a large memorial was erected over his grave in 1938.

Between 1945 and 1955 over 950 British Hawker Sea Fury were produced. It was the last piston-engined fighter aircraft to serve with the Royal Navy and the fastest production single piston-engined fighter ever built. The fuselage is similar to the well known Hawker Tempest, which saw plenty of action against German V1 flying bombs and jet-engined Me 262s in World War II.
The Fury, originally designed as a ground-attack aircraft, was produced for the Royal Navy as the Sea Fury featuring folding wings. When World War II came to an end, production focused on this carrier-based version which was operated from British and Australian aircraft carriers during the Korean War. The Sea Fury remained in service on British carriers until 1953 and was then replaced by the Hawker Sea Hawk.
The version appearing at AIRPOWER13 is a Hawker Sea Fury FB.11 belonging to French warbird collector Christophe Jacquard. Today it features the colour scheme of the Royal Australian Navy Sea Fury FB.11 WH589.

American actress and singer Gloria Jean (1926-2018) starred in 26 feature films from 1939 to 1959 and made numerous radio, television, stage and nightclub appearances. She was 12 when she was taken to an audition by Universal director Joe Pasternak. He was looking for a new child singer to replace studio icon Deanna Durbin. Her first film, The Under-Pup (1939), made her an instant hit with filmgoers. A Little Bit of Heaven (1940) was probably her best film, but Never Give a Sucker an Even Break (1941) with W.C. Fields remains her most-seen film. By then, she had outgrown her Little Miss Fixit roles. She later appeared mostly in B-films and on stage.
Gloria Jean Schoonover was born in 1926 in Buffalo, New York. She and her family moved to Scranton, Pennsylvania, shortly afterwards. Her father, Ferman Schoonover, owned a music store. Her mother, Eleanor Schoonover, had been a circus bareback rider and took care of Gloria and her three sisters: Sally, Lois and Bonnie. Gloria's singing ability was discovered when she was little. She was three years old when she first sang on the radio under the name of Baby Skylark. Her family was involved in her later career. Lois served as a stand-in for Gloria Jean, and their father managed her career. By 5, she was singing in the Scranton area and sang with Paul Whiteman's orchestra on radio broadcasts. At 12, she became the youngest member of an American opera troupe when she joined a small New York opera company. In 1938, Gloria Jean was being trained as a coloratura soprano when her voice teacher, Leah Russel, took her to an audition held by Universal Pictures producer Joe Pasternak. He was looking for a new child singer to replace studio icon Deanna Durbin, who was being steered into ingenue and young-adult roles. Although hundreds of Shirley-Temple-perfect girls competed, natural-looking Gloria was chosen, and she and her mother headed to Hollywood. Gloria made her first film, The Under-Pup (Richard Wallace, 1939), with Robert Cummings and Nan Grey. It made her an instant hit with filmgoers. Happy with their young coloratura soprano, Universal cast her in If I Had My Way (David Butler, 1940), which co-starred Bing Crosby and Charles Winninger. Next came A Little Bit of Heaven (Andrew Marton, 1940) with Robert Stack, which some consider her best film. Then followed a co-starring role with W.C. Fields in Never Give a Sucker an Even Break (Edward F. Cline, 1941), which became her most-seen film.
At this point in 1941, Gloria Jean was at the pinnacle of her career, yet her star wasn't soaring. She had outgrown her Little Miss Fixit roles, as Deanna Durbin had a few years earlier. Durbin was in command of the older-girl roles for the better pictures. Unsure what to do with Jean, Universal moved her to the 'Hepcat' movies in which she often co-starred with Donald O'Connor. These 'hipster' musicals were geared to teenagers to introduce new young talent and included What's Cooking (Edward F. Cline, 1942) with The Andrews Sisters, Get Hep to Love (Charles Lamont, 1942), When Johnny Comes Marching Home (Charles Lamont, 1942), and It Comes Up Love (Charles Lamont, 1942). The next year, Mr Big (Charles Lamont, 1943) and Moonlight in Vermont (Edward C. Lilley, 1943) followed. All these 'Hepcat' musicals were stock B-films. Like many Universal stars, Gloria had a few seconds onscreen in the war effort picture Follow the Boys (A. Edward Sutherland, John Rawlins, 1944). After that came the rather good Pardon My Rhythm (Felix E. Feist, 1944) with Mel Torme, who became a close friend. In Ghost Catchers (Edward F. Cline, 1944), she was teamed with popular comedians Ole Olsen and Chic Johnson. The forgettable Reckless Age (Felix E. Feist, 1944) was next, and its main distinction was as the first in which Gloria played a more mature role. In January 1944, Universal announced plans to launch Gloria Jean as a more adult star, and she turned 18 in April. Gloria was to star as a blind girl in one of four episodes of Julien Duvivier's Flesh and Fantasy, alongside such stars as Edward G. Robinson, Charles Boyer, and Barbara Stanwyck. But the film was found to be too long, and Gloria's segment was cut out. Some additional footage was added, and the result was the Film Noir Destiny (Reginald Le Borg, Julien Duvivier, 1944). Gloria's first dramatic performance won rave reviews, but the actual film met with only modest success. Gloria followed this with three more Universal films: I'll Remember April (Harold Young, 1945), the Film Noir River Gang (Charles David, 1945) with Keefe Brasselle, and the musical Easy to Look At (Ford Beebe, 1945) with Kirby Grant.
On bad advice from her agent, Gloria Jean decided to go on tour instead of renewing her Universal contract. The tour underperformed, and she returned to Hollywood in 1947. Gloria Jean's family lawyer had vanished with her earnings, and she found great difficulty in securing film roles. Groucho Marx gave her a minor role in his film Copacabana (Alfred E. Green, 1947) with Carmen Miranda. This appearance ultimately landed her four more: I Surrender Dear (Arthur Dreifuss, 1948), Manhattan Angel (Arthur Dreifuss, 1948), An Old-Fashioned Girl (Arthur Dreifuss, 1949), and There's a Girl in My Heart (Arthur Dreifuss, 1949). As the 1950s began, Gloria made six Snader Telescriptions, three-minute musicals that aired during television's early days. Other than that and a few guest appearances on TV series, her acting career was virtually finished. She appeared in the forgettable Air Strike (Cy Roth, 1955) and a couple of films that were never released. In 1961, Jerry Lewis read about her working as a hostess at a Tahitian restaurant and gave her a part in his film The Ladies' Man (Jerry Lewis, 1963). This was meant to relaunch her career, but her scenes didn't make the final cut. Gloria Jean's final television appearances occurred in episodes of The Dick Powell Theatre, Lockup and Saints and Sinners. Shortly after, she was briefly married to Italian actor Franco Cellini (1962-1966) and had a son, Angelo. At that point, she virtually retired from the screen and went to work for the cosmetics firm Redken until 1993, when she retired. Gloria was reintroduced to a limelight of sorts by the magic of eBay, where her films were being sold. With her sister Bonnie's help, who handled the computer, she sold copies of her films on eBay, as well as signed photographs of herself. Spurred by the popularity of these, she published her autobiography, 'Gloria Jean: A Little Bit of Heaven' (2005). After her sister Bonnie's death in 2007, Gloria moved to Hawaii to live with her son and his family. Her son died in 2017, and very late in life, she suffered health problems. Until she died from heart failure and pneumonia in 2018, Gloria Jean lived in Mountain View, HI, with her family. She is buried in Hawaii's Mountain View Community Cemetery. She had four grandchildren.

A modern Vera Art puzzle. What a shame it lost its original colors! It probably would have been easier with a distinction between the greens and blues.
The cut follows the color cutouts quite precisely, particularly adapting to the artist's brushstrokes.
The puzzle is very difficult to assemble; it's the hardest I've had to do for a 500-piece puzzle.
We reconstructed one piece (see note on the photo).
Vlaminck used pure colors straight from the tubes. The goal was to convey a raw energy.
The painting, originally titled "Partie de campagne à Bougival," was painted in 1905.

The standard mount on the Sony A7 is prone to flexing. It's especially noticeable when using heavier lenses, but one can feel it even when handling a small one like the Zeiss 55mm F/1.8.
I kinda got tired of this and upgraded to the Fotodiox Tough E-mount version.
It replaces the front ring and the plastic one underneath with a single piece.
To replace the large numbers and different types of self-propelled artillery during World War II, the US Army standardized on the M53/M55, which differed only in gun size (155mm and 203mm). The drawback to the M53/M55 was its gasoline engine, which was prone to catastrophic fires, and its weight, which made it transportable only by sea to Europe or elsewhere.
To replace the M53/M55, the US Army settled on the M107/M110 series. Loosely based on the chassis of the M578 recovery vehicle, the M107/M110 used a diesel engine and was made considerably lighter than the M53. Like its predecessor, the basic design could be used either as the M107 175mm gun, or the M110 203mm. The two were so similar that only details of the M110's gun could tell them apart. (If it has a muzzle brake, it is a M110; if not, it is a M107.)
The M107 entered service in 1962 and was quickly committed to the fighting in Vietnam. There, it showed a few deficiencies. It was slow to load (an unavoidable problem due to the size of the shells), lacked ready ammunition (again, due to size, only two shells could be carried on the vehicle), and, since the crew lacked a compartment, they were vulnerable to weather conditions and enemy counterbattery fire. The gun barrel tended to wear out quickly, and replacement was difficult and could not be done in the field.
Nonetheless, the M107 also had advantages: because it was light, it was surprisingly fast, and could relocate quickly. Its phenomenal range--25 miles--meant that it could outrange its North Vietnamese counterparts and be deployed in safer areas. During the 1968 Siege of Khe Sanh, a number of M107/M110 batteries were stationed at Camp Carroll, a good distance from the Marine garrison; these batteries were still able to give superb artillery support to the Marines. During the 1973 Yom Kippur War, the Israelis used their M107s to hit surface to air missile sites inside Egypt, clearing the way for the Israeli Air Force to operate effectively.
Because of the exposed crew and the US Army's desire to standardize, the M107/M110 series were phased out in the late 1970s in favor of the M109 155mm series. Improvements to the M109 have given it all the capabilities of the M107 without its drawbacks.
After seeing a picture of a M107 in a book on the Vietnam War, Dad wanted one. He built this 1/35 scale version as the M107 appeared in Vietnam. Painting names on the barrels of artillery is an Army tradition dating from the Revolutionary War, so this one is named "The Worst Day of the Rest of Your Entire Life," mainly because it takes up the considerable length of the 175mm gun. This one also has the spade deployed for firing, to keep the M107 from leaping backwards with recoil.

I increased dynamic contrast and added a subtle vignette with On1 PhotoRaw Effects and removed distracting visitors and replaced empty skies with Photoshop and its Sky Replacement feature, changing the blend mode from Screen to Multiply to avoid excessive editing of the mask layer.
Replaced the stock 13T turbo with the bigger & stronger 16T turbo from a V70 T5.
Re-used the Mamba wastegate actuator (so makes the same boost now) and made the step towards an external DV, which is better than the bolt-on CBV (which I already upgraded).

Early-70s urban renewal, replacing a women's hospital. Like the Ruppert Towers, this is an attempt to further develop the vocabulary the architects had worked out at Waterside, with a greater attention to urbanism. This is hardly contextual, but compared to previous Modern planning it's at least closer to the scale of its neighbors, with the funky shifts in massing maybe intended to further break down the scale, or suggest the "busy" quality of a series of distinct facades as opposed to a megablock. It also holds the street edge a little better than your typical tower-in-a-park, and the terraced, arguably rather fussy plaza makes a mid-block pedestrian connection between 109th and 110th - or it would, if it weren't fenced off and zealously guarded by the residents (who took ownership of the building a few years ago following a long struggle).
Unfortunately, the stuff that faces the street is blank to the point of hostility - this would have been a great chance to get 110th going as viable retail frontage. Later developments on the same block have followed this lead, and it's a sort of bleak stretch of a street that is quite lovely a short walk downhill. The 109th Street side (seen here) is a little more understandable, since it's not really a retail-heavy street and the building does sort of address the street with the view into the plaza.... but it's still effectively a blank wall, indifferent to the context (see Street View). Overall, a fine architectural effort, but still urbanistically disappointing.
the new lever slid in easily - you need to weigh it down with summat while you screw it on from underneath if you're doing the job on your own, the trolleyjack did it for me :)
Inside the maintenance area of the garage.
Resembling an old-fashioned aerodrome, West Ham Garage consists of four long round-roofed blocks, two open-facing and two sealed.
The building was designed to replace Stratford and Waterden Road Garages (demolished as part of the Olympic Park developments). The garage was a brownfield site, previously occupied by a Parcelforce Depot.
Demolition at the ParcelForce site began late in 2007 and by February 2008 the operation of the Stratford garage had moved to part of the new site. Operations from the other garage, known as Waterden Road, relocated initially to newly acquired and refurbished premises at Rainham, moving to the temporary West Ham site in May 2008.
Construction of the new garage took place immediately to the south of the temporary premises and the main garage structure was basically complete by the end of March 2009, at which time ParcelForce vacated their site further to the south of the garage that would become the bus parking area. By December 2009 the garage’s engineering and operating staff had moved in to the new building, joined by head office staff from Ilford in February 2010. Work on the parking, washing and fuelling area was completed in June 2010 when the contractors handed over the site.
[Stagecoach Bus]
The building was Pringle Richards Sharratt Architects.
Environmental aspects of the design include green roofs (50% of which is covered in lichen) which also captures rainwater for re-use, natural lighting and ventilation in the offices, and a turbine generating power.

Built in 1929, this 17-story Art Deco-style former passenger railroad station was designed by Fellheimer & Wagner to replace the multiple previous train stations and termini in Buffalo, which were scattered throughout the city and belonged to different railroads. The structure stands on the site of the old Union Depot built in 1874, which closed in the early 1920s. The station began construction in 1925 when the New York Central Railroad settled on building their new union terminal in Buffalo at the site, with the station being built to accommodate the expected growth of Buffalo from a city of about 550,000 people to one with 1.5 million people, and to accommodate continued growth in passenger numbers. However, both of these projections never materialized, with the city’s population growth and the railroad’s passenger numbers growth, already slowing in the 1920s, slowing further due to the Great Depression during the 1930s, and then beginning a long, steady decline, only being briefly buoyed by World War II before falling out of favor as automobile travel proved more flexible and air travel more swift than train travel. Due to these circumstances, the terminal was overbuilt and never reached its full capacity during its operations, only coming close during World War II due to resource shortages and mass mobilization of the United States during wartime. The terminal was offered for sale by the New York Central Railroad for one million dollars in 1956, but found no buyers, with continuing declines in passenger numbers, coupled with the decline in the population of Buffalo itself, leading to several services being ended during the 1950s and 1960s. In 1966, the railroad, in an effort to save costs and downsize their facilities, demolished several outbuildings in the complex, and in 1968, the once powerful New York Central Railroad, a husk of its former self, merged with the Pennsylvania Railroad in an attempt to consolidate their expenses and save both companies, but this merger proved unsuccessful, leading to their bankruptcy in 1976, with both railroads absorbed into the public-private partnership known as Conrail.
In the meantime, Amtrak was formed in 1971 to provide passenger rail service in the United States, operating out of the terminal until 1979, with the agency facing budgetary limitations that did not allow them to renovate the aging structure, which, when coupled with the massive expenses of keeping the building comfortable, dry, and well-lit, led to the agency building two smaller stations in Buffalo during the 1970s to replace it. The terminal was subsequently purchased by Anthony T. Fedele, whom managed to maintain the building in decent condition, but was unable to find any interested developers to reuse the building, and eventually fell behind on taxes, leading to the building being seized at foreclosure so the taxes could be recouped by the government. During the time it was owned by Fedele, the building was vacated by Conrail’s offices between 1980 and 1984, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, with the final operations at the terminal, the interlocking towers that once signaled trains arriving at the station, being shut down in 1985. In 1986, the building was purchased at auction by Thomas Telesco, whom did not maintain the building, selling off many artifacts and fixtures from its interior, and proposing grandiose and unrealistic schemes of what he would do with the building, including being a stop on a high-speed rail line between New York and Toronto. The building was then sold to Bernie Tuchman and Samuel Tuchman, with the building seeing further elements removed and sold, and the building continuing to decay.
In 1997, the terminal, then in poor condition, was purchased by Scott Field of the Preservation Coalition of Erie County, whom paid for the building’s back taxes, and shortly thereafter, formed the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation, transferring ownership of the building to the organization. The building was stabilized and secured under the stewardship of the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation, which opened the building for public tours in 2003, and holds many fundraising events at the station every year. The building has been preserved, but a restoration or adaptive reuse of the structure has so far remained elusive.
The building features a brown brick exterior with an octagonal corner tower, with a large barrel-roofed main concourse structure wrapping around the tower to the south and east. The facade of the tower features multiple setbacks, chamfered corners, corner clock faces at the roofline above the twelfth floor, a rotunda with large archways and buttresses atop the tower with a decorative trim crown at the parapet, vertical window bays that stretch from the building’s base to the roofline, large entrances with metal canopies, large transoms, and stone surrounds, pilasters, and stone trim and caps atop the parapets. The main concourse portion of the building features large arched curtain walls at the ends of its barrel vaulted roof, a cavernous barrel vaulted interior, large metal canopies over the entrances, and a tunnel underneath that once allowed traffic on Curtiss Street to run beneath the building, though this has been closed since the 1980s due to the building’s decay, with a light court between the waiting room and a low-rise office block in the front, which sits just east of the tower and presents a similar facade treatment to that of the tower, with vertically accentuated window bays and pilasters. The rear of the building is more spartan in appearance, with a scar from the former location of the entrance to the train concourse to the rear, with the connecting structure having been removed following the discontinuation of railroad services at the building in 1979. The train concourse features multiple platforms with Art Deco-style aluminum canopies with sleek columns, thin-profile roofs, and rounded ends, with the train concourse featuring arched clerestory windows and a gabled roof, and being in a rather advanced state of deterioration with vegetation having grown throughout the structure and the surrounding abandoned tracks between the platforms. Attached to the southwest corner of the main building is the baggage building, a simpler six-story Art Deco-style structure with a buff brick exterior, a penthouse above the main entrance to the building, pilasters, vertically accentuated window bays, steel windows, stone spandrel panels, stone trim, and stone parapet caps, with long canopies along the base of the front and rear of the building that protected incoming and outgoing mail and baggage from inclement weather. To the west of the baggage building is the one-story mail processing building, which features a similar facade treatment, with the main difference besides height being the rooftop monitor windows in the middle of the building’s roof. Southwest of the baggage and mail processing building, sitting close to Memorial Drive, is a structure that formerly housed the Railway Express Agency, which is more utilitarian than the rest of the surviving complex, and is in an advanced state of decay, with the demolition of the structure being planned to take place sometime this decade. The structure features large window bays with steel windows, stucco cladding on the brick structure, and the remnants of canopies on the north and south facades of the first floor, with a long and low one-story wing to the rear.
The complex is one of the largest designed by Fellheimer & Wagner, and has maintained a remarkable state of preservation in its original form with few changes since its construction, besides some damage from the years of decay and neglect in the 1980s and 1990s. Another notable structure by the firm, and one of the most well-known railroad stations in the world, is Grand Central Terminal in New York City, which was also built for the New York Central Railroad. In addition to Grand Central Terminal, the firm also designed terminals that are more similar in appearance to the Buffalo Central Terminal, including Union Station in South Bend, Indiana, and Cincinnati Union Terminal, with Grand Central Terminal, Buffalo Central Terminal, and Cincinnati Union Terminal being among the largest, most impressive, and most significant railroad stations ever built in the United States. The station, though unrestored, is still impressive, and hopefully will be eventually adaptively reused for an economically sustainable function.
1929 John Bean Orchard Sprayer
built in San Jose, CA
The John Bean Co. shipped this sprayer to Weeks Hardware in Sebastopol in 1929 and they sold it to a local farmer. In the 1940s, John W. Elmore bought it from this farmer and used it to spray a mixture of sulfur and lime on his 15 acres of apple trees at Laguna Road, Sebastopol. After the sprayer was no longer in use it was stored there by son, John, until 2003 when be gave it to Scott Wilson for restoration and display.
It originally had a 6 HP John Bean Engine driving the pump but in the 60s it was replaced by a 5 HP Briggs and Stratton by son, Bob. Now the engine is 3 HP made by NOVO, a popular engine supplier used by Bean on many of their sprayers. The Sprayer wagon was pulled by a team of two horses. The redwood tank holds 200 gallons. The tank agitator has two 14 inch diameter propellers turning at 100 rpm.
