ADDITIONAL CATALOGUES Additional to our DVD Catalogue, we also have available FREE detailed catalogues on: VIDEO 125 BIG E VIDEO PRODUCTIONS CHANNEL 5 PRODUCTIONS (i) FACTS ABOUT DVD The world is divided into 8 DVD regions, these being: Region 1 : USA & Canada Region 2 : UK, Europe, South Africa, Middle East, Japan Region 3 : Hong Kong, South East Asia Region 4 : Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Caribbean, Central America, Pacific Islands Region 5 : Russia, Eastern Europe, India, Korea Region 6 : China Region 7 : Reserved Region 8 : Cruise Ships & Aircraft An audio Compact Disc can store 74 minutes of music (with a squeeze). DVDs are really 2 discs glued back to back, giving each a double-sided option. Look a little deeper and you will find that each side, can carry two layers of information, one deeper than the other. This gives the DVD storage capacity for each side, each layer, of about 7 times that of a single-side CD. DVDs, like video tapes are made to play in either the PAL or NTSC system as well as being coded for a particular world zone (as shown above). The player needs to be coded for “All Regions-PAL/NTSC”, not just Region 4 (Australia). At present all of our DVD titles are imported from either the UK (Region 2) or the USA (Region 4). Some of the titles are coded for a particular country, in which case having an “All Regions” player will allow you to play a DVD from any country regardless of the region coding for that particular DVD. Ensure your TV has the appropriate sockets for DVD connection and is NTSC compatible. The manual for your television will show this information in the specification section. TYPES OF DVD: There are two main types of DVD. Those which are pressed when manufactured (similar to LP records and CDs), and those that are DVD-R (Recordable DVD). Any machine will play DVD, provided the player has the correct coding and format. However, some players manufactured prior to January 2001 may not be able to play DVD-R. DVD-R is used as a recording format as it does not involve the cost associated with pressed DVD, and it is a cheaper alternative for low volume specialised subjects, eg. Railroading. Where possible and if available, we will endeavour to show if the title is DVD or DVD-R and any applicable Region Code. Any region coded DVD can be played on a player manufactured for its own region or on a Multi-zoned player. It will not play on a player manufactured for other DVD regions. eg., A Zone 1 or Zone 2 DVD will play on a Multi-zoned player but not on a player manufactured for Zone 4, etc. PICTURE FORMAT 16:9 WIDESCREEN If you have a standard 4:3 TV your DVD player should output the titles in letterbox form (with a small area of black at top and bottom of picture). By using the ZOOM button on your remote control (found on most DVD players) it is possible to enlarge the picture to fit your television. If the picture is not in Letterbox when it starts, access Setup Menu via your Remote, select 4:3 LETTERBOX (in TV Aspect), press Play and then press ZOOM on Remote, this will give full screen picture. Additional information on DVD may be found on the Internet at: www.dvddemystified.com (120+ pages of Frequently Asked Questions on DVD) www.dvdmadeeasy.com (media compatibility and player format details) www.DVDownUnder.com.au The “DVDownUnder” site is an excellent source for those requiring information about DVD in Australia. (ii) LOOKING AFTER your dvds & OTHER THINGS CARE OF DVDs Handle only at the hub or outer edge. Don’t touch the shiny surface with greasy fingers. Store in a protective case when not in use. Don’t bend the disc when taking it out of the case, and be careful not to scratch the disc when placing it in the case or in the player tray. Make certain the disc is properly seated in the player tray before you close it. Keep discs away from radiators, heaters, hot equipment surfaces, direct sunlight (near a window or in a car during hot weather), pets, small children, and other destructive forces. The DVD specification recommends that discs be stored at a temperature between -20 to 50 °C (-4 to 122 °F) with less than 15 °C (27 °F) variation per hour, at relative humidity of 5 to 90 percent. Artificial light and indirect sunlight have no effect on replicated DVDs since they are made of polycarbonate, polymer adhesives, and metal (usually aluminium or gold), none of which are significantly affected by exposure to light. Exposure to bright sunlight may affect recordable DVDs, specifically write-once DVDs (DVD-R and DVD+R) that use light-sensitive dyes. Magnetic fields have no effect on DVDs, so it’s ok to leave them sitting on your speakers. CLEANING DVDs If you notice problems when playing a disc, you may be able to correct them with a simple clean. Do not use strong cleaners, abrasives, solvents, or acids. With a soft, lint-free cloth, wipe gently in only a radial direction (a straight line between the hub and the rim). Since the data is arranged circularly on the disc, the micro scratches you create when cleaning the disc (or the nasty gouge you make with the dirt you didn’t see on your cleaning cloth) will cross more error correction blocks and be less likely to cause unrecoverable errors. Don’t use canned or compressed air, which can be very cold and may thermally stress the disc. For stubborn dirt or gummy adhesive, use water, water with mild soap. As a last resort, try peanut oil. Let it sit for about a minute before wiping it off. There are commercial products that clean discs and provide some protection from dust, fingerprints, and scratches. ( The above edited information courtesy of www.dvddemystified.com ) DVD SOUND LEVEL Why is the audio level from my DVD player so low?? Many people complain that the audio level from DVD players is too low. In truth the audio level is too high on everything else. Movie soundtracks are extremely dynamic, ranging from near silence to intense explosions. In order to support an increased dynamic range and hit peaks without distortion, the average sound volume must be lower. This is why the line level from DVD players is lower than from almost all other sources. So far, unlike on CDs, the level is much more consistent between discs. If the change in volume when switching between DVD and other audio sources is annoying, you may be able to adjust the output signal level on some players or the input signal level on some receivers, but other than that, there’s not much you can do. (Thanks to www.dvddemystified.com ) DVD DISC COLOURS I have been led to believe the colour of the disc used for DVDs varies according to the recording format. DVDs which are “pressed” have a silver colour on the recording surface, similar to CDs, whilst DVD-R, which are “burnt” have a blue/purple colour. The only other way of determining the type of format is most DVD-Rs have this wording stamped in the centre section of the disc. PLAYER COMPATIBILITY Customers are reminded that before ordering DVD titles, ensure your DVD player is PAL/NTSC and is “WORLD ZONE” (Zone Free).

    PUBLIC TRANSPORT PARTNERSHIPS An Overview of Passenger Rail Franchising in Victoria March 2005 Department of Infrastructure PUBLIC TRANSPORT PARTNERSHIPS An Overview of Passenger Rail Franchising in Victoria March 2005 Public Transport Division Department of Infrastructure © State of Victoria 2005 Published by Public Transport Division Department of Infrastructure 80 Collins Street, Melbourne March 2005 www.doi.vic.gov.au This publication is copyright. No part may be reproduced by any process except in accordance with the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968. Authorised by the Victorian Government, 80 Collins Street, Melbourne. Minister’s Foreword In February 2004, after the failure of the original privatisation framework, the Victorian Government entered into new franchise agreements with Melbourne’s public transport companies, Yarra Trams and Connex. These partnership agreements find the balance between government support for public transport in Melbourne and the operational expertise provided by experienced private rail operators. Almost one year on, the new arrangements are running smoothly, providing stability across the public transport system and giving a solid foundation for a range of improvements in service delivery. Some of the other benefits to passengers that stem from these agreements include: • Additional front-line customer service staff; • Increased security patrols; • Improved driver training programs; • All night New Year’s Eve services; • Additional rolling stock; and • Improved standards for the upkeep of transport facilities. The key themes of this summary report include the background to the failure of the original contracts, the renegotiations, the nature of the new partnership agreements and the challenges of the refranchising process. You can obtain the latest information about Melbourne’s public transport by visiting www.doi.vic.gov.au/transport I commend this report to you.

  • Bilevel Rail Car - Wikipedia
    Bilevel rail car - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilevel_rail_car Bilevel rail car The bilevel car (American English) or double-decker train (British English and Canadian English) is a type of rail car that has two levels of passenger accommodation, as opposed to one, increasing passenger capacity (in example cases of up to 57% per car).[1] In some countries such vehicles are commonly referred to as dostos, derived from the German Doppelstockwagen. The use of double-decker carriages, where feasible, can resolve capacity problems on a railway, avoiding other options which have an associated infrastructure cost such as longer trains (which require longer station Double-deck rail car operated by Agence métropolitaine de transport platforms), more trains per hour (which the signalling or safety in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The requirements may not allow) or adding extra tracks besides the existing Lucien-L'Allier station is in the back line. ground. Bilevel trains are claimed to be more energy efficient,[2] and may have a lower operating cost per passenger.[3] A bilevel car may carry about twice as many as a normal car, without requiring double the weight to pull or material to build. However, a bilevel train may take longer to exchange passengers at each station, since more people will enter and exit from each car. The increased dwell time makes them most popular on long-distance routes which make fewer stops (and may be popular with passengers for offering a better view).[1] Bilevel cars may not be usable in countries or older railway systems with Bombardier double-deck rail cars in low loading gauges.

  • Preservation News
    Preservation News Vol. 2 No. 3 Fall 2015 NGPF STARTS RESTORAT ION EFFORTS FOR D&RGW T- 12 #168 The NGPF paid $10,000.00 for the move of D&RGW narrow gauge engine; T -12 #168, from its decades-long display site at a park across from the train station in Colorado Springs to insure restoration efforts could begin this winter. Raising money to restore an engine is far easier than raising money to move it from one place to another. Hence the NGPF felt it could make a difference by underwriting the move and helping the restoration project to start. The intent is to operate this T-12 on the C&TS. The history of this class of engine is explored in a related article on page 2, but it represents late 19th century technology for passenger power and remains an elegant example of the Golden Age of railroading. #168 was shopped at D&RGW’s shops at Burnham in Denver in 1938 and donated to the City of Colorado Springs where it has remained on display, cosmetically restored until it’s move this September for restoration. Indeed, it is possible that if the #168 is in as good shape as is hoped given its overhaul prior to being placed on display, a T class engine could be steaming in Colorado in 2016. The NGPF is helping to make this possible and the effort is off to a good start. And the engines Mal Ferrell called “these beautiful Rio Grande ten- wheelers” may be around for many years to come.

    Digital Displacement for Non-Passenger Rail (COF-IPS-03) Final Report Gordon Voller, Engineering Manager, Artemis Intelligent Power Ltd Win Rampen, Founder Director, Artemis Intelligent Power Ltd Stephen Laird, Research Manager, Artemis Intelligent Power Ltd Andy Martlew, T & RS Development Engineer, Direct Rail Services Paul Allen, Professor of Railway Engineering, University of Huddersfield Messaoud Mehafdi, Senior Lecturer in Accountancy, University of Huddersfield 18 June 2020 1 Executive Summary This project studies the feasibility of using Digital Displacement hydraulics in non- passenger rail vehicle applications in order to reduce emissions from diesel powered vehicles and provide more efficient transfer of power from future alternative fuel and electric powered vehicles. Artemis Intelligent Power is the global leader in Digital Displacement hydraulics – a fundamental innovation which offers a radical increase in efficiency and control for a wide range of applications. It can be delivered as a ‘straight swap’ for conventional hydraulic pumps or can be integrated to bring system-wide benefits including improved control and reduced fuel consumption. Artemis is working closely with majority owner Danfoss Power Solutions to further develop the core technology and bring a number of ground-breaking, sector-specific applications to the rail, off-highway and industrial markets. The project was completed in two phases, an initial research phase looking at each application area in non-passenger rail, followed by a more in-depth study of
