When you sit and contemplate what 4 more minutes would have accomplished but unlike others, you actually followed the rules.....
37422 top and tails with 37405 standing at Norwich waiting to depart with 2P18, 10:36 Norwich – Great Yarmouth, 3rd August 2016.
Locomotive History
37422 was built by English Electric at the Vulcan Foundry works and was released to traffic as D6966 in February 1965, allocated to Sheffield Darnall MPD. It quickly moved on to Wath until the autumn of 1967 when it was involved in a strange swap of locomotives. D6701 -09 transferred from Stratford to Wath (41C) between October and December 1967 at the same time as D6960 - 68 were transferred to Stratford from Wath. On arrival at Stratford D6960 - 68 were also reclassified to D17/3 (Pre TOPS locomotive classification) which suggests they were modified on arrival. It would appear that on arrival at Stratford D6960 - 68 were dual brake fitted and received the Clayton RO2500 steam heating boilers from D6701 -09. One wonders why they went to all this trouble? D6966 would remain a Stratford engine for the next fourteen years, becoming 37266 in 1974 until transferred to Landore in November 1981. 37266 transferred north to Eastfield in March 1985, moving on to Motherwell in May 1985 returning to Eastfield a month later. In July 1985 37266 entered Crewe works for a heavy general repair (refurbish) with the generator being replaced with a Brush BA1005A alternator, the fitment of electric train heating and renumbering to 37422. In January 1989 it transferred to Cardiff, in May 1989 to Tinsley and in September 1990 to Immingham. In March 1993 it transferred to Crewe and back to passenger duties in the North West. It was stored for four years from October 1999 returning to traffic in February 2003 allocated to Cardiff. Stored again in December 2006 the next couple of years would see it generally out of service with occasional outings until stored in September 2008. Sold to DRS in 2011 and almost seven years out of traffic 37422 eventually returned to service in August 2015.

D9516 is “running round” the 15:10 departure from Wansford at Yarwell Junction, 3rd May 2009.
Locomotive History
One of a class of fifty six Type 1 0-6-0 diesel hydraulic (subsequently class 14) locomotives it was built at Swindon Works in 1964 for shunting and short trip freight duties. The locomotive is powered by a six cylinder Paxman Ventura 6YJXL engine producing 650bhp, connected to a Voith L217U hydraulic transmission and Hunslet gearbox. The axles were connected by coupling rods and driven by a jackshaft located under the cab, between the second and third axles. Initially allocated to Landore MPD in South Wales it was one of thirty three that transferred in January 1967 to Hull (Dairycoates) for North Eastern Region duties and was withdrawn from there in April 1968. D9516 was sold to the Stewarts and Lloyds Minerals Ltd. (subsequently part of the British Steel Corporation) for use on its extensive rail system connecting the local ironstone quarries round Corby (Northamptonshire) with the steelworks and arrived at Corby in November 1968. It was numbered 56 in the Corby fleet. With the subsequent contraction of the British steel industry and closure of the quarries and then Corby Steelworks itself in 1980 D9516 was once again surplus to requirements and was acquired for preservation in the early 1981 moving initially to Loughborough and the Great Central Railway.
A touch too much Good Life at an impressionable age?
The allotment: as if I don't have enough guilt in my life with 2 children and a part time job that should be full time. And a cat. And a garden. Oh and a husband,
Haven't made it down there for months between the snow & grumpy ill children. Got some blackcurrant bushes from the ILs last week and they needed to go in the ground before the snow comes again. Surprisingly, it was lovely digging down there, nice & soft and easy. Got the bushes plantedm plus some garlic which I've had for 3 months now. Oops. Still, the leeks are growing and the onions too, although I've culled the cabbage.
And we had a bagful of root veg worth, oooh, almost £2. More if you count it as organic. That's worth a year of guilt and days of weeding, isn't it? I heard they even sell them in Tescos these days...
Not many strangers feature more than once in my "Hello Strangers" set. This lady however has been featured not twice but three times!
No, I didn't stalk her.

507005 departs Sandhills, Merseyrail, 3rd April 1980.
Unit History
In 1977 the existing class 502 units working the Merseyrail suburban 750v dc third rail system were approaching forty years in service and the class 507 three car EMU’s were ordered as replacements. Delivery commenced in September 1978 and thirty three units were built by York works between 1978 and 1980. The class 507 is a dc only version of the standard 1972 design for suburban EMUs, which eventually encompassed over seven hundred and fifty vehicles of five classes (313, 314, 315, 507, 508). One unit has been withdrawn following collision damage and the remaining thirty two sets continue to work Merseyrail services.

Even though I realized this rough agate was a plume agate, I felt it was likely to be full of quartz. As you can see, it turned out to be better than I expected it to be.
