This has been reported all over Europe today.

We had something similar near Cologne, 4 years ago, when after weeks of draught sparks from a passing train supposedly ignited bushes along a high-speed railway line and  within a matter of minutes eight houses were ablaze. The owners could only run.

Oops, thanks.

So, it was after weeks of drought that the bushes were ignited and they said the flames were fanned by the draught of the passing high-speed train.

For everyone working on 465B scopes, GC Surplus has half a dozen up for auction with a bit over 15 hours to go:

It might be local pickup only in Dartmouth, NS, so if they won't ship, that could be geographically inconvenient for just about everyone.

Edit:  Browsing through the listings, it looks like there's six lots of five Tektronix 465B scopes for 30 in total plus a lot of five of the military version of the 2235:

If they're lucky, a government lab received new equipment and they're blowing out the old stuff.  If they're not lucky, a government lab got closed down and they're fire sale-ing the equipment after laying everyone off.  Either way, if they won't pack up and ship scopes, I'm not sure the local market within an easy drive of the Halifax/Dartmouth area can absorb 30 vintage Tek scopes like that all at once.  Even if they are willing to pack up and ship them out, I'm not sure there'd be much market for them given what the packing and transportation costs would be like even if each lot sells for very little money.
Neomys Sapiens:
Regarding Tektronix probe/accessory pouches, I can only say that I would like very much to get one for the TDS5104!
