That's a fine tram, Donald. I see passengers inside so I assume it isn't part of the museum. Newcastle Brown Ale -- a fine brew. I'd get it more often but my son really likes it too and it disappears too quickly Is the I-22 a collapsible? The resolution and contrast look very good. I don't think I've seen a Zorki 1 -- is it more Fed-like than later Zorki's? Gene

Gene: The Zorki looks about the same as the FED 1 -- a little different collar around the shutter release and different texture vulcanite. The very early Z1s (1948-1949) actually were called FED/Zorki. About 1950, after the FED plant was back in operation, Zorki went its own way and modified the design somewhat. But externally it's hard to tell the difference unless you are familiar with the brands. The Zorki 1s were made until 1956.

Hi Gene - did not know it was possible to buy Newcastle Brown in Canada!
The lens is the collapsible Industar 22 and the whole set up was recently serviced by Oleg Khalyavin and is working a treat.
Beamish is a recreated Northern English town from 1913 and they have several trams, buses, lorries, cars travelling about and you can ride on most of them. All the buildings are kitted out inside and there are people doing 1913 jobs in them. It's some experience and a great place to take pictures (while your wife and children spend about 90 minutes in the sweet shop buying everything in sight).

Ah, so the entire town is a kind of living museum! That would definitely be worth a visit. Yes, Newcastle Brown is available at the local grog shop and I always find it a treat. Wish my son didn't also like it so much With a service by Oleg, the Zorki 1 with the I22 must be a delight. He fixed up a Zorki 3M for me (which I later sold). He always does excellent work at bargain rates, and is very polite as well. Gene

And I forgot to mention that one of the recreations is a pub. British pubs in Northern provincial towns haven't changed much since 1913 but the prices have.
