Tesla should take notes

Shenfield is a major commuter station in Essex. Located on the Colchester, Norwich main lines out of Liverpool Street, it is the junction for the Southend Victoria and Southminster services. The 'Shark' became an iconic feature of the local landscape, and was built originally by BR in the 1950s as a Ballast Plough for levelling ballast during track relaying. It got dumped in the siding after it apparently suffered over heated axle bearings in early 2000, and with the advent of Privatisation, effectively became ownerless. Several attempts at it's recovery for preservation never came to anything, as it's location and condition made it challenging (and expensive) to retrieve as a complete vehicle. There are several at other heritage railways, so it wasn't entirely unique, It's dismantling has caused much debate on various media platforms, but it has to be acknowledged that not all things can be preserved for posterity, and at the end of the day, no doubt someone will put a blue plaque and photo of it on the wall in tribute!

Am surprised it wasn't saved by some heritage railway, would've been a nice restoration project for someone!

Um... Shenfield is actually east of London on the eastern side of Brentwood on the Great Eastern area, the lines coming from Southend and the East Coast via Chelmsford heading towards Liverpool Street. It is the terminus for the Metro service which was taken over by MTL to become the eastern end of Crossrail (or Elizabeth Line if you insist) after operating as a line serving the suburban areas of Essex since the late 19th century serving the main stops of Liverpool Street, Stratford, Ilford, Romford, Gidea Park and Shenfield.

Watched the tour of the uk factory 2 days ago by a youtuber note in a machine we see a rassberriePi makeing Pi's :)

May I ask about that PIXEL image right in the center of your background? It looks like the cover of an old magazine. What country was this published then in? What year? I have the fondest memories of a publication of the same title in Greece, covering micros mostly. Needless to say it faded along with them...

Pi zero have been avail infrequnely for some time but about all that has apart from pi3a+ There is no change!

Great video thanks Tom

It does all feel a little bit like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. As we've seen on your channel, and on Explaining Computers, there are some great Raspberry Pi alternatives out there and you can actually get hold of them. Not only that but they're adding genuinely useful features like on-board flash storage and M.2 interfaces. If it wasn't for wanting to run Risc OS I don't think I'd be particularly bothered about getting another Raspberry Pi, especially given how the maker / hobbyist market has been treated.

Great ides moving to a USB power supply, especially if you were going through that many batteries. I just wonder why you didn't solder in to the back on the battert terminals? Might have made for a neater finish in terms of putting the plastic cover back on?

AM has been on the road out for some time now in the UK! Our friends in the U.S. seem to be hanging in there though!
