The Two branded 775, Volvo B8RLE, in Ilkeston. The promotional banner for students is covered by the windscreen wipers, so I'm not sure why it isn't at the bottom of the windscreen.

ROD 775 775. My 1/24 representation of Devon General AEC Regent V/Metro-Cammell Orion made from Revell 1/24 kit of AEC RML. This was just an exercise in seeing what I could make from the Revell RML. I'm not claiming that it is an accurate representation of an AEC Regent V/Orion.
DR 750mm gauge Class 99.77 2-10-2T DR No.99 775 of the Lossnitzgrundbahn seemingly out of service at Radebeul Ost, 10 October 2021. The DR 99.77’s were post-war developments of the DRG pre-war Class 99.73’s.
The DRG built 32 Class 99.73’s in 1928-33 for the Saxon 750 mm gauge lines. After WWII ended, 10 were seized by Russia. The remainder were in East Germany and the DR did not start withdrawing them until the late 1960’s but it was decided to retain 10 of them and rebuild them with new all-welded boilers and most of these still remain in service.
In 1952, uranium was discovered in the Erzgebirge (Ore) Mountains served by narrow gauge lines so the DR built 24 more 2-10-2T’s in 1952-56 classed as 99.77 closely based on the 99.73’s but with larger fireboxes (to burn brown coal), all-welded boilers, plate frames instead of bar frames, larger tanks and bunkers and various detail differences. However, by the late 1980’s the locos were suffering from cracked frames and worn-out boilers so withdrawals began. DR intended to replace them by diesels by 1995 but German re-unification resulted in the DBAG replacing both the frames and the boilers on 14 locos in 1991-92 for further service.
