Replaced horrible original with a new scan and post processing 7/1/20. I had this picture reversed for years. That has been corrected, along with the color balance. I knew that there was a good picture hiding in there.

Detroit MI Engine 32
1976 Ward LaFrance
1250 GPM – 500 Tank
Shop #445 One of 4 purchased.
Nothing in my hobby life will ever replace my love and fascination with fire engines, even when they're not painted the correct color, like this one. But this photo has something extra going for it.
Engine 32's Ward LaFrance was only 6 years old when I snapped this picture, but it's in pretty rough shape. The firefighters of the DFD are a busy lot, but hundreds of runs and workers isn't what most likely got to this rig. The 1970's were part of the era of cheap (quality and price) Japanese steel. Although I don't know for certain if the steel was the culprit, or where it was made, other apparatus manufacturers had similar issues. Only 6 years old and rusting away.
Now, back to the "extra" in this picture. Even as a child I can remember that I liked looking at painted brick wall signs. Neon was nice too, but a wall with a soft drink ad was special. When we arrived at this firehouse I knew this was going to be an interesting photo. Normally I would have taken a bit tighter frame of the Engine, but in this case I had to get Wolverine Moving and Storage into the photo. Neon and a wall and that green thingy with the lights and a siren! Up on the wall the likeness of an Autocar truck pulling the trailer is (was) beautiful. Now it never occurred to me to walk over and take a few frames of the wall, but eventually I reached the conclusion that my camera was capable of seeing more than shiny red trucks. So this is my best shot of Wolverine - I hope this isn't purged from the sign groups.
Thirty-six years is a long time. I was with a great bunch of people on this day. So, to Dan, George, Leo and Jimmy, we miss you. See you at the next station.

Shyamali Paul replaces a damaged LED bulb with a new one at a Chrysanthemum flower cultivation farm at a village in West Bengal, the eastern state of India. Here farmers with the help of microfinancing to cultivate Chrysanthemum flowers which are exported to Europe and USA apart from other states of India. Farmers light up their fields with LED bulbs at night to get quality production of ornamental flower like Chrysanthemum. Here fellow flower growers shifted to a new innovative method of farming as they strung up rows of 9Watt LED bulbs across their fields and kept these switched on from sunset till dawn for 7-10 days during the budding stage.
The innovation of thousands of LED bulbs are switched on during the night to give the plants artificial, “day-like” light to compensate for its lack during the daytime cover-up. It was found the plants showed stunted growth when kept the lights on at night and the quality of his chrysanthemums was also very good.
The process is by exposing the plant to a continuous phase of light even at dusk they are enhancing the process of photosynthesis, which means the plant cooks way more food than it can cook only from the sunlight it receives in the morning. With the process being repeated over a period of days, the plant gets engaged in cooking and storing the food and then when the lights are suddenly cut off, the plant grows at a very fast rate with enough nutrition for a good quality produce. During the process, the farmers need to maintain a perfect balance between the periods of light and darkness.
Three years back, their business was floundering, now suddenly things have changed on which more than 5000 farmers’ families are depending on Chrysanthemum flower cultivation.

This was one of the competitors in the Shell Ferrari Historical Challenge race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1998. It's the 1956 Ferrari 500TR of Giancarlo Galeazzi, seen here leaving the pit lane during a qualifying session. The 500TR was introduced in 1956 to replace the Ferrari Mondial and was the first Ferrari to be known as the 'Testa Rossa' because the twin camshaft covers were painted red. Sixteen of the cars were produced, all with a 4-cylinder inline 1,985cc engine designed by Aurelio Lampredi and bodywork by Carrozzeria Scaglietti. The programme of the event gives the engine capacity of this car as 2500cc, but I can see nothing in the barchetta.cc history of 0610MDTR that says that it has ever been the subject of an engine change.

ADDITIONAL NOTES.
Diagram 1/507 was the last of eight designs of 20 ton brake vans built for BR. Seeing as the LNER designed express goods brake van dating from 1929 with a 16ft wheelbase was adopted by BR as the standard design after nationalisation I guess it was inevitable the former LNER Wagon Works at Faverdale, Darlington should build them with 3582 examples being delivered between 1950 and 1961.
With the BR Southern Region having gone "fully fitted" from the 1970's any brake vans that ventured into the region such as the one above had to be auto brake fitted or piped vehicles. There was still a need for brake vans on certain dangerous goods trains and the most popular type were the CAR designated vehicles which had dual air and vacuum through pipes.
The practice of putting yellow panels with "Air Piped" was quite common on CAR vehicles and distinguished them from the CAP designated vehicles with just a through vacuum pipe. In truth when the brown bauxite livery was replaced by the Railfreight red and grey for air braked stock that meant it was a dual piped vehicle making the yellow panels obsolete.
Taken in about 1960
Charing Cross station on a bright sunny day in around 1960, with EPB stock in some of the platforms..
The station roof seen here was not the original, but was a replacement design, constructed after the first roof started to collapse, in 1905.
This roof was replaced between 1986 and 1990, and today (2025) the EPBs have all gone, and there are offices and restaurants on top of the station.
