There was no image available for the Talgo 'in Berwick' when I looked, and it is unclear where it would be on your flickr pages.

Can you please provide a viewable (preferably individually live-linked) link to this image?

R.M.,

I haven't uploaded any of the slides I have scanned to my Flickr account (which is at https://www.flickr.com/photos/137798583@N02/). Instead, they are viewable on RR Picture Archives in the following album: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/archiveThumbs.aspx?id=106456. I have provided links to the individual images above the imbedded JPEGs in each post. For the slide of the Talgo trainset, the link is: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=4340680

Speaking of the original topic, does the Epson 550 scanner have an actual choice for "RAW" after you choose "Professional Mode"? Or, must we use other settings to make it scan without any automatic adjustments? They are available at some Best Buy stores in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area.

Jim,

In Professional Mode, a control window will open up with several different sections, which from top to bottom are: "Settings", "Original", "Destination", and "Adjustments". The "Adjustments" section lists all of the different functions that the scanner can run automatically to "fix" an image. To turn these off, and to therefore have the image scanned as an untouched RAW file, click the "Configuration" button, which is located all the way at the bottom of the window, between "Help" and "Close", and below "Preview" and "Scan". Clicking the "Configuration" button brings up another window, which has 4 tabs: "Preview", "Color", "Film Size", and "Other". In the "Color" tab are 3 options: "Color Control", "ICM", and "No Color Correction". To turn off the "Adjustments", the "No Color Correction" option must be selected.

Another slide:

This is a Dick Wallin Ektachrome duplicate of one of the Talgo II trainsets built by AC&F for service in Spain; one of these (I don't know if it's this one specifically) is now at the railroad museum in Madrid.

There is no info written on the mount regarding when or where this slide was taken, or by whom, but I posted this slide to Trainorders, and other members theorized that it was either:

1) Taken in Spain or Portugal.

Or:

2) Taken in Berwick, PA, (location of the AC&F plant), during an open house when the trainset was brand new. That member also wrote that the trainset was tested on the Lackawanna branch in Berwick before being shipped overseas.

This shot is 1953 Railfair at Atlantic City, NJ.

Looks to be the same train.

The track - flat bottomed rail and spiked to ties is wrong for Spain/Portugal, plus they are a broader gauge there.
The police(?) uniform on the person at the side of the train certainly doesn't fit in with those places either.

Taken in Norwich, CT, in 1954.
