A series of photographs documenting the release of GB Railfreight's Class 92, 92 044 "Couperin" from the Wabtec Brush works at Loughborough. 044 had spent exactly 14 months there for overhaul, reliability mods and new wheelsets. The assisting locomotive was a fellow Brush Traction machine, Class 60, 60 002 "Graham Farish 50th Anniversary 1970-2020".
The 60 had also been out of traffic for more than a year after a turbo fire. The Covid-19 pandemic had delayed repairs and then some additional mods were done as well as its immaculate repaint - the first GBRf loco repainted at DB Cargo's Toton depot.
This was the 60's first working for GBRf after its long spell in Toton and also its first run on the main line sporting its recently received new name commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Graham Farish.
This was also the first time two of GB Railfreight's Brush "cousins" - the Class 60 and Class 92 - had been together. The locos share a common bodyshell design, built by Procor in Wakefield, and have other similar components.
Potentially most historically of all, though - with the subsequent announcement the Brush Traction works are due to close by the end of the year - there's a good chance this was the last time a Class 60 will visit the place where the 100-strong class were built in 1989-1993.
GB's sole active grey 92 had lost its tunnel rings and Crewe Electric depot plaques whilst in Brush, but there are rumours of a new livery to come in due course. However, that won't be before it gets back to earning some coin for its owners (and DB!) with a brief visit to Crewe for a test run, before heading to Dollands Moor to resume tunnel duties.

Standing outside The Pie & Piston is Dave Eaton's wonderful creation, the Icon 917. Starting with a bodyshell mould of David Piper's 917K-010, Dave and John Hartland have spent 8 years recreating this marvellous car that has always been intended to run on road and track. Fully IVA-compliant, it has a 3.6 flat-six engine with 280bhp and is only distinguishable from the original by small details necessary for it to run on the road. There is another car in the pipeline for collaborator John Hartland, and for more details see the comprehensive article in the July 2019 issue of Octane magazine.

The body shell already has a cavity in the license plate light; part of the molding process.
All that was needed to illuminate the license plate was to drill a hole and mount a 0805 size SMD LED.
Later we painted the inside and outside black, which got rid of the stray light shining through the plastic.

The 280SE came in two-door Coupe or Convertible form, but could still seat five people in comfort. Mercedes slipped a 3.5 litre V8 engine into the earlier 2.8 six-cylinder bodyshell and simply added a 3.5 badge on the back so we could tell the difference. The 3.5 litre V8 engine was a brand new unit introduced in 1969 and nearly all such cars had automatic gearboxes. They also had power steering and a very high level of equipment. With 230bhp available they were good for 130mph despite their size, but no-one dared ask about the fuel consumption. Today they are rare and highly desirable - hence the £50,000 asking price for this LHD example at the 2012 NEC Classic Car Show.

GERMANY: The first two TW3000 high-floor light rail vehicles entered passenger service on Route 7 in Hannover on March 15th 2015.
The two-section bidirectional air-conditioned articulated vehicles are 25 m long and 2 650 mm wide. They will replace the TW6000 cars, which are 30 years old. They will initially operate on Route 7 and then on Route 3 .These are cross city stadtbahn (tram) routes with a tunnelled section with stations in the city centre.
City transport operator Üstra placed an initial order for 50 LRVs from a consortium led by Vossloh Kiepe and including Alstom Transport in 2011. Around half of the €126m cost was funded from Land transport agency LNVG.
The contract includes an option for 96 LRVs, and Üstra ordered a further 50 in 2013 for €90m.
Vossloh Kiepe provided electrical equipment and Alstom has supplied specially designed compact bogies. The bodyshells were built in Salzgitter by Bozankaya, with other components coming from Düsseldorf. Final assembly was undertaken by HeiterBlick in Leipzig.
The first TW3000 LRV was presented to the public in March 2014; however, entry into service was delayed because of weld defects.

- Competed in the European Rally Championship in 1988, 1989 and 1990
- Incredibly well-preserved car, with documentation
- Ex-Carlos Antunes Tavares, future COO of Renault
This Renault 21 Turbo is remarkable above all for its authenticity, as it is exactly as it crossed the finishing line of the 1990 International Semperit Rally in Austria, the last event in which it competed, driven by Carlos Antunes Tavares with Jacky Racois as his co-driver. It finished 29th out of the 116 cars that started, and was the third-placed two-wheel drive car in its class. Remarkably well preserved, it still has the racing number 37 as well as advertising decals and various stickers from the scrutineering carried out for previous rallies. It entered the collection directly in January 1991 and was registered in Renault’s name. As can be seen from the transfer certificate, it had covered 17,818km at the time, and now has 17,821km on the clock!
Prepared for rallying in Group N and then Group A, it has a strengthened bodyshell with a roll cage and completely stripped-out interior, fitted with bucket seats, full harnesses and additional instruments.
With this specification, from 1988–1990 the car took part in several rallies in the European Championship, driven by Carlos Tavares, who was yet to become the business leader we know him as today, but rather a development engineer at Renault, working on the forthcoming Clio and Mégane. A motorsport enthusiast since he was a teenager, Tavares took part in various regional rallies from 1983 onwards, then in the European Championship, driving a Renault 5 Alpine and 5 GT Turbo before moving on to the 21 Turbo. Initially entered in in 1988 in Group N, for 1989 and 1990 the car ran in Group A, where the technical regulations were slightly less strict and where it developed nearly 220bhp. Tavares’ best result during this period was 13th overall on the Rali Vinho da Madeira in 1988, with Jean-Paul Retaillieu as his co-driver. In 1989, he also achieved fourth place in his class (and 15th overall) on the Arbö Rallye Steiermark in Austria, with Thierry Dubois, and third place in his class (in the promotional series) on the Rallye Alpin-Behra, with Retaillieu.
First presented in 1987, the 21 Turbo did not disappoint: with the help of a Garrett turbocharger, the output of its all-alloy four-cylinder SOHC engine went up to 175bhp, using a technology perfectly mastered by the company, thanks to its successes in Formula 1. With a top speed of over 220kph, the 21 Turbo was one of the quickest French saloons of its time, with a suitably aggressive appearance. In competition, it was particularly successful in 1988, dominating the Supertouring Championship that season, with Jean Ragnotti and Jean-Louis Bousquet behind the wheel. The car we are concerned with here competed in a more accessible category, where only a few modifications were allowed in the regulations, although this did not prevent the best engine tuners from extracting a little extra horsepower from it: as much as 230bhp for the 21 Turbo in Group A.
It is extremely unusual for a rally car to be stored away entirely unmodified at the end of its motorsport career. Still bearing the scars of its adventures in rallying, this example will not fail to appeal to fans of rally cars.

Peugeot 205 'Look' 1.0 L. After the 1.0L engine gave up, I got MMC to fit a secondhand 1360cc unit from a Citroen AX GT. I fitted the genuine Peugeot wheel arch extensions and side mouldings, despite being told by Morrison Motors that it could not be done to a non GTi bodyshell. Brian sourced the front and rear valances, the Devil exhaust and secondhand alloys. I refurbished the alloys and Brian fitted the Renault Clio rear wiper arm.

I actually dont like her as a character, and mainly got the doll because the faceup was the first tolerable from volks in a while, and as a minor surprise bonus the new DD F3 V2.0 body.
All poses are done without supports, and none of the poses are anything new that I havent done before, even with a DD2.
The V2.0 is still mostly the same style F3 frame underneath, with its irritations in a tweaked bodyshell, and the only real improvement has come from the neck notch, which has been a known retrofit for previous bodies since the DD2.

Alfa Romeo Junior Z
The Junior Z was created by Zagato using the short-wheelbase Type 105 chassis from the Spider, and the five-speed gearbox from the Giulietta. It was an arresting-looking coupé that added real variety to the Alfa Romeo line-up, but unlike earlier Alfa-Zagatos, it was not conceived for racing, nor was it particularly lightweight - it featured a steel bodyshell with an aluminium bonnet and aluminium door-skins (on the earlier 1300 JZs).
The sloping front and Kamm tail were certainly a world apart from the well-crafted classicism of the rest of the Giulia-derived cars, but no less appealing for it. The Junior Zagato was a little lighter and more aerodynamic than the standard cars so it was a bit quicker too. Considering its coachbuilt status, values are surprisingly low.

Die gesamte Karosserie mit Ausnahme des hinteren Bodenblechbereiches, der aus Stahlblech gefertigt war, war in der ASF Bauweise (Audi Space Frame) aus Aluminium gebaut. Diese Änderung gegenüber der ersten Serie erfolgte u.a. um mehr Gewicht auf die Hinterachse zu bekommen und so dem Auftrieb bei hohen Geschwindigkeiten entgegen zu wirken.
ISO had various offerings in the automotive world, with the Lele taking the usual "easy" way to make a sports car by putting an American V8 in a lightweight bodyshell. I wonder how many sold in the UK, as you could get nearly 3 E types with the same money!
Jaguar was in a transitional phase at this time with the new XK6 replacing the existing saloons like the Mk.X evolved 420G. The E type was to have a V12 within 2 years to replace the existing straight 6s.
