The Class 67 locomotives are a class of Bo-Bo diesel electric mainline locomotives which were built for the English Welsh & Scottish Railway (EWS) between 1999 to 2000 by Alstom at Meinfesa in Valencia, Spain. The bodyshell is a monocoque load bearing Alstom design,[7][8] the bogies are an "H" frame Alstom design,[7] The engine, traction motors and control electronics are GM-EMD products, and the same as used in the British Rail Class 66. Power output is 2,386 kW (3,200 bhp), with a top speed of 200kph (124 mph).

From its introduction in 1962, the MGB was extremely successful, especially in the USA. Over 512,880 cars were built, with 125,621 GT models, the rest being roadster models and it became the best selling British sports car ever.
With around 250,000 MGBs still in existence world-wide, it was an obvious first choice when British Motor Heritage decided to re-manufacture original bodyshells.
The new MGB bodyshell was launched in 1988 at the NEC Classic Motor Show, where this 1969 car was rebuilt during the Show using the first new bodies.
Following the Motor Show the car appeared in 'Classic Cars' magazine and featured on the BBC programme 'Top Gear'. It was later auctioned and the proceeds of £13,500 donated to charity.

The Class 950 (950001 - 999600 + 999601) is a purpose-built diesel multiple unit for departmental use as a track assessment unit. Built in 1987 using the same bodyshell as the Class 150/1 "Sprinter" units that were built between 1985 and 1986.
This uses the Airfix bodyshell and is mounted on a Penelope pitlane chassis. I've built the car for the 2013 Sprite proxy race.
Very much at home now in Central Scotland, the 385s seem to have settled in and become part of the scenery. Seen here, the 15.29 Glasgow Central to Lanark, comprising two three car sets, is pausing at Motherwell’s Platform 1, having taken the direct route from Central via Uddingston. The 385s were designed by Hitachi and built at Newton Aycliffe, apart from the first seven, which were constructed entirely at Hitachi's Kasado Works factory in Kudamatsu, Yamaguchi, Japan, thus the set seen here is a seasoned traveller…
In October 2014, immediately after being awarded the ScotRail franchise, Abellio ScotRail announced it had concluded an agreement with the Japanese manufacturer Hitachi Rail to procure 234 new EMU carriages from its A-Train family for use on routes in Scotland that were being electrified. During April 2015, a contract between Hitachi and Abellio ScotRail was signed, ordering 70 new-build EMUs at a cost of £475 million. The unts, which are formed into a mix of three and four-car sets, were procured for the purpose of operating along the main Glasgow to Edinburgh via Falkirk Line from December 2017, and across Central Scotland. In this manner, the electrification programme and purchase of new EMUs to operate services, would allow a subsequent cascade of the Class 158 and 170 DMUs currently used elsewhere on the network.
The order for the new EMUs was the first operator-based purchase of a Hitachi product for use in the UK following the IEP procurement, and its subsequent construction of its new Hitachi Newton Aycliffe facility at Newton Aycliffe. The units were supplied to Abellio Scotrail through a leasing arrangement, which was formed at the time of the original order. Accordingly, the ownership of the fleet resides with Caledonian Rail Leasing Ltd, a subsidiary company of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation.
Construction commenced in November 2015, with the first units being delivered in December 2016. The bodyshells, supplied by Kasado, were shipped to Newtown Aycliffe and subjected to around seven days of static fitting out, after which they were moved through the production area via an internal traverser, each vehicle required 2,100 man-hours to complete. Roughly 71 percent of all components were sourced within the United Kingdom.

DTC stands for Danish Thundersport Championship. The cars follow the CCR MkI and MkII regulations. They consist of a chassis built by Performance AutoMotive Scandinavian AB (PASAB) fitted with a clip-on bodyshell. The engines are 5,7 litre V8s, delivering 445 hp. The available bodyshells change a little from year to year, but in 2014 there were 3 options: Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger.
Each race weekend consists of a free practice, qualifying and 3 heats, of which the last one is considered the "final"
After heat one, the top 8 will normally get reversed for the heat 2 starting grid, which often causes interesting results and is a guarantee for highly entertaining racing.
Races take place mostly in Denmark, but with occasional visits abroad. 2 races per year take place on street circuits: this one in Aarhus at the CRAA and one in Copenhagen during the Historic Grand Prix there.
Most drivers are danish, but there's always a few norwegians in the pack as well.
The driver line-up is incredibly mixed and features star drivers (past and present) like Jan Magnussen, "Super John" Nielsen, Ronnie Bremer and Casper Elgaard alongside some of Denmark's finest young racing talents with full backing from big teams, as well as a bunch of privateers, who primarily take part for the fun of racing.
At the end of each season, a driver's 3 worst results get discarded to get the final overall result.
The DTC class is widely regarded as the pinnacle of racing on danish soil and is followed intensely by media as well as spectators.
There have been some voices against the DTC being included in the CRAA, saying that this class is anything but "classic racing", which is, of course, true, but no class causes the stands to be as packed as DTC, so it certainly helps attract people (and media interest)
DTC may not be "classic racing", but it plays a major part in making the annual CRAA event so successful.
Subsequent to the launch of the Mazda MX-5 in 1989, British Motor Heritage (by then owned by Rover Group) had placed the MGB bodyshell back in production to serve the MGB restoration market. The success of the MX-5 had given Rover confidence that the market for 2 seater roadsters had re-emerged, and the decision was taken in 1991 to create an updated MGB model. The suspension was only slightly updated, sharing the leaf spring rear of the MGB. The boot lid and doors were shared with the original car, as were the rear drum brakes. The engine was the 3.9-litre version of the aluminium Rover V8, similar to the one previously used in the MGB GT V8.
The engine produced 190 bhp (142 kW) at 4,750 rpm, achieving 0–60 mph (96 km/h) in 5.9 seconds. Largely due to the rear drum brakes and rear leaf springs, the RV8 was not popular with road testers.
A large proportion of the limited MG RV8 production went to Japan – 1,579 of the 1,983 produced. In the UK, 330 RV8s were sold initially. Several hundred (possibly as many as 700) of these cars were reimported back to the UK and also Australia between 2000 and 2010.
Der Audi TT von 2007 setzte auf die Hybrid Bauweise. 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.

Apart from the engine the SD1 was an almost all new design.
The 5 door bodyshell was supposedly inspired by the Ferrari Daytona, and some nice features like a 5 speed gearbox and power steering as standard.
Coventry registered HRW266V was a black Rover V8 S Auto 3528cc last taxed on 2 February 1993.
RENFE 340 020. These were essentially two Hymeks inside a larger Class V200 bodyshell which developed a mighty 4000 hp. However, according to Wikipedia, they suffered from reliability problems due to mixed traffic usage and poor maintenance.

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.

The ultimate 928 was the GTS. This boasted a revised bodyshell with wider rear wheel arches to give a much muscular appearance.
Under those haunches were new Cup Design wheels, which were now 17-inches in diameter and gave the 928 a more modern appearance, as did the new door mirrors.
However, the big news was the fact that the V8 engine had been increased in capacity to 5.4-litres, thanks to a longer stroke crankshaft, and powered was upped to 350bhp, and torque to 490Nm.

The 993 designation is the companies internal name for this generation 911. The external design of the Porsche 993, penned by Englishman Toni Hatter, used the basic bodyshell architecture of the 964, but with changed external panels, with much more flared wheelarches and a smoother front and rear bumper design, an enlarged retractable rear wing, teardrop mirrors, but keeping the doors and roof panels.
The Carrera represented the "base model" of the 993, and was available in rear and all-wheel drive versions. It was equipped with the naturally aspirated 3.6 liter M64 engine, further developed from the 964 and combined with a new dual-flow exhaust system now incorporating two catalytic converters. In contrast to the 964 were the numbers Carrera 2 or 4 were used to differentiate between two and four wheel the numbers have been dropped and the models are simply referred to as C2 and C4.the cars can be distinguished by the Carrera 4 having clear front turn signals and rear red lenses instead of orange on the 2W

Wears the prettier and curvier earlier style of T70 bodyshell, this immaculate (road-registered) T70 was the eventual winner of the 1000km (1 hour) race in the hands of rising star Olly Bryant. The only T70 to wear number plates that I've seen (comes up on RAC too!) and was so clean you could easily eat your dinner off the back.

D1705 built as a Class 47 with a difference. A 47 bodyshell and a Sulzer 12LVA24-type engine, resulted in a Class 48 classification. Refitted with a standard engine in 1969, this turned her the loco into a 47.
Sparrowhawk is seen here on the GCR
I'm not convinced this "wavy lines" Metrotrain livery suited the boxy bodyshells of these units nearly so well as the original red.

Wedding Car
Beauford cars are supplied in kit form. The first cars were made in 1985 and used a Mini bodyshell mounted on a ladder chassis This compartment was later replaced by a glass fibre moulding. At the front is a long bonnet with flowing wings at either side to give the appearance of a 1930s luxury car. Almost any power unit can be fitted. The suspension is sourced from the Ford Sierra. Both open and closed bodies are made.
The cars became popular as wedding transport leading to a "long-bodied" version being produced with a slightly shortened bonnet and narrower rear parcel shelf to give much roomier accommodation for rear seat passengers.
The Beauford company is British and located in Stoke on Trent.

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.
60 002 ran from Toton as 0Z60 08:45 Toton TMD to Loughborough Brush, then moved 92 044 to Crewe ETD on 0Z61 09:58 Loughborough Brush to Crewe ETD, before the 60 then ran on solo to resume biomass duties on 0Z62 13:09 Crewe ETD to Tuebrook Sidings.
The bodyshell of the SLS AMG weighs 241 kilograms - an absolute benchmark in the super sports car segment when compared with the peak output of 420 kW/571 hp.

Doncaster Railway Station South Yorkshire Virgin East Coast Japanese Hitachi Azuma Train passing the EMPTY factory where Sir Nigel Gresley used to build the finest BRITISH Steam Trains in the world. Virgin Trains should be ashamed at buying Foreign Trains.
VTEC plans to take delivery of its first four Azumas from Hitachi in 2018. The Class 800 Super Express is a type of electro-diesel train to be used in the United Kingdom based on the Hitachi A-train design. They have been built by Hitachi. These trains are being assembled at the Hitachi Newton Aycliffe facility from bodyshells shipped from the Kasado plant in Japan; NO body construction takes place in the UK.
A Trainspotting Nightmare these Japanese trains have NO NUMBERS. To add insult to injury they have Japanese writing. Shame on VTEC
