East Midlands Railways 170503 about to depart platform 6 at Nottingham working 1K67, 13:43 Newark Castle – Crewe, 2nd November 2023.
2nd of the full C Class locos at HVTR, Pinjarra is C1701 receiving a bit of TLC.
The C Class was a small class of 3 locos built at the English Electric Works, Rocklea, Brisbane in Queensland in 1962.
C1701 is Works No. A-056.
UK enthusiasts would probably describe them as an overpowered Class 20 with an additional stubby hood at the cab end.
In comparison to the Class 20's they definitely were more powerful, having an English Electric 12SVT mark 2 1,535hp (1,140 kW) engine.
These Co-Co locos weighed 90 tons and are capable of 60 mph (96km/h).
They had a max tractive effort of 45,500 lbf (202.4 kN).
Built for WAGR as comparison locos to Clyde Engineering's A Class, EE missed out and more A Class were ordered (25 in total).
They were used for freights everywhere through the narrow gauge lines and even passenger workings between Perth and Bunbury and out to Kalgoorlie.
Their final workings were passenger commuter trains in Perth. This role ended when replaced by new P Class locos in 1990/1991.
Electrification killed off loco hauled commuter trains within a couple of years as the A Class 1992 EMUs took over.
All withdrawn by March 1992, they are all preserved at HVTR at Pinjarra.
C1702 and C1703 were active though the 1990s to early 2010s, with C1701 often used as a parts donor.
But all 3 are now stored as too expensive to overhaul.

33841 the first bus in Go North West livery finally entered service but I missed the first day and almost the second. Luckily patience paid off followed by a quick dash to obtain a photo that in a few months will mean absolutely nothing when the street of Manchester are full of buses in this livery.

France is the birthplace of the tram-renaissance that has been sweeping around Europe since 1990. One of the best examples of the modern tram systems that have been build since then is located in Strasbourg.
Autumn colour has started to come through above Spark Bridge in the Crake Valley of the South Lakes. It was a bright day an the perfect excuse for a short afternoon wander up the valley sides.

Paid a visit to Barrow Hill Roundhose (2nd March 2024) and managed this "selfie" of yours truly in the driver’s seat of a Deltic. A couple of things I noticed was how non ergonomic it all seemed and how poor the forward view actually is. If I raise the seat any higher to improve the view, I was bumping my head on the ceiling, lower the seat and the forward view gets even worse. But I suppose it was a vast improvement in comfort etc to a Gresley Pacific.
I have actually had a cab ride on a Deltic on the main line. April 1972 myself and a couple of friends had a guided tour of Haymarket MPD before heading south and home after a week touring Scotland. Our "guide" turned out to be the driver of our train south from Edinburgh to Grantham and he gave us "a lift" from Haymarket MPD into Waverley on the train locomotive, Deltic D9019, those were the days. And even at 20mph they are noisy with those two eighteen cylinder Napier Deltic engines thumping away the other side of the bulkhead.
This set is named after Edouard Lock (hope I wrote it correct) danse company La La La Human Steps and was inspired by their ballet Amelia (on YouTube).
