Hello Doro
That would still be a railway station in English (as opposed to modern
''Murican"), but the trains are goods trains - a literal translation
from Güterbahn I would guess.
SFX is a monochrome film from Ilford that has extended sensitivity to
red (up to 740nm it says on the packet). But to obtain this near IR
effect you have to use a red filter. Roger Hicks, in his book "Perfect
Exposure" recommends a variety of red filters, but one of them is a
Hoya 25A. When I used SFX in my OM1N some years ago, the results were
very pleasing, but I used it only as a monochrome film - I did not know
that I had to use a filter to obtain the effect.
I have not developed my films from my recent sojourn in Spain yet (I
used SFX in my Bronica RF645 to take advantage of the blue skies as I
was effectively operating at 50 or 100 EI), so I don't know how it will
come out.
... and I cannot develop my films because we are in the middle of
having our spare kitchen refurbished; once I have finished that I can
put my darkroom up again. It goes on ....

Cool photos Doro, but I hate to see an abandoned railway station.
Just think of how many cars could have been kept off the roads with
what went through there.
well, this used to be the old Güterbahnhof (for goods, not for people
- what would be the proper term in english?). I guess it's just that
everything is moved to the main station just 200m further down. But we
do have problem with our railway not cooperating to transport lorrys
anymore, who jam up the motorways consequently...
Do you like Acros?
Don't know yet :)
I have just used 3 rolls of SFX in Spain, with a Hoya 25A filter. I
just hope that I got the filter factor right and that the film was
not too old to make images (2 years out of date... ;-)). I must
settle down to a smaller choice of films, and not flit around as I >> do.
I've heard of SFX, but what das a 25a filter do (or undo ;))?
cheers
