A few shots of yesteryear

They are nice pictures, but suffer from the fotopic 'curse' of being oversized - the very reason photographers are turning to flickr, where photos are automatically resized.

That depends on your size of monitor. Those images are an amazing insight into a time before I was around, but are easily viewable on a 19" TFT.

When building/uploading images for my Fotopic site I made the conscious decision to opt for the largest size (1280x1024) as 17" screens are becoming obsolete being so small and are often not supplied with new computers. Fast forward 2/3 years and almost all new monitors will be 20" or larger, therefore negating the need to downsize images.

Ahhhh but laptops TFT's are increasing in size/resolution too

Great stuff. Never seen anything like this before:

As someone who takes his laptop everywhere I'm not too keen on much bigger than 14" Its ok to have a large laptop when its mostly sat on a desk.

The old 1920ts? Yeah, they were like a tube version of the F stock!

The 1920ts was built for the Piccadilly line and comprised of 20 trailers and 20 control trailers. They were the first tube trains with air doors. They ran with 20 1906 gate stock trains that were also converted to have air doors (and had their trailing gate ends filled in). The control trailers had oval end windows (as did the German U-Bahn trains of the time) but did not have any other oval windows unlike the F stock. They were transfered to the Bakerloo in 1930 and remained on it till its 1938 stock arrived after the war. 5 were converted to an instruction train shown in the picture! I believe the 7 car train used 2 Standard stock motor cars?
