40034 halts at Earlestown on Saturday 20th December 1980 with 1J30 1130 Bangor to Manchester Victoria.
My records appear to have deserted me for this individual 110 camera shot but thanks to some detective work (see comments) it turns out that out of a possible collective of 40017, 031, 034 snd 056 - that it was 40034. Seemingly '034 had bolts so that rules out 056, and air pipes, whereas 40017 and 40031 were vacuum only.
"Accra" was withdrawn in January 1984 and was scrapped in March 1984 at Doncaster.
Abbiamo visitato una cosa veramente particolare:
- all'interno una chiesa cristiana di una delle centinaia di sette che fioriscono in Africa.
- al centro una falegnameria di casse da morto.
- all'esterno una esposizione di casse da morto pronte per l'uso.
Il gestore di tutto il complesso (prete, falegname e venditore9 era sempre la stessa persona.
Come potete vedere le casse da morto sono leggermente particolari: Bottiglia di birra, scarpa Nike, leonei con attributi maschili, pesc rosso, scarpa da passeggio, aeeo, trattore,.....
We visited something truly unique:
- inside, a Christian church belonging to one of the hundreds of sects that flourish in Africa.
- in the center, a coffin carpentry shop.
- outside, a display of coffins ready for use.
The manager of the entire complex (priest, carpenter, and salesman) was always the same person.
As you can see, the coffins are a little unusual: Beer bottle, Nike shoe, lion with male attributes, red fish, walking shoe, airplane, tractor,.....

Modello poco richiesto visto la polvere che la ricopre.
A coffin for an ice cream lover.
This model is rarely in demand given the dust that covers it.
