An unidentified Class 110 "Calder Valley" DMU at Garsdale on the Settle - Carlisle line in August 1988.
03 078 at Berwick-upon-Tweed. Before the demise of wagonload freight, even some relatively small stations had a shunting loco, this example being for shunting Tweedmouth yard. The 03 class was once a common sight in eastern England where duties were less onerous and would not justify a more powerful 08. Seen on 2 June 1984.
The British Rail Class 108 two car, diesel multiple units (DMU's) were built by BR Derby from 1958 to 1961. In all, 333 vehicles were produced in various formats.
The units stayed in regular service until 1990, when they began to be withdrawn from traffic, to be replaced on regional services by new "Sprinter" units, or by "Turbo" units on services around London.
The final Class 108 units lasted in traffic until October 1993, although many saw further use in departmental service, as sandite or route-learner units. Good condition on withdrawal and a lack of asbestos has ensured that many of this class are now used on preserved railway lines.
This unit appears to be heading for Heaton depot in Newcastle, hauled by a Class 37 locomotive in the grey and yellow Departmental livery.

Oakham Station
GBRf Class 69 69001 Mayflower (formerly 56031) passes Oakham with a Toton to Whitemoor civil engineers train
GBRf 66723 'Chinook', 66786 & Freightliner 66515 roll through Winchfield working 0Y43 Eastleigh to Hoo.....
40079 at rest in the Boxing Day winter sun at Longsight on Wed 26th December 1984.
The whistler saw in the New Year but time was running out as it was withdrawn on 21st January 1985.
In fact, this may be my last photo of a 40 in service (excluding the 974xx ones).. :(
Got the Nacelles connected. A bit worried about the technic in the pylons potentially being a bit stressed, but that's the only way I can get the warp pylons close to the correct thickness. The technic axles in the main hull go all the way through the pylon mount while there are also technic axles inside the pylons to ensure rigidity fore/aft.
Poetry Class.
(AAHHHH Poetry Sucks!)
Sitting on the floor of the first day of class.
So this is how you learn to become a poet?
I wait none the less for the arrival of the teacher /guru.
Call him or her what you may.
Wow I have to come here 3 times a week.
3 hours per class.
O well if that is what it takes to become a poet.
So many rules.
On how not only how to write a simple sentence.
But how to compose a poem,
After listening to all the rules on how to write a poem.
I forget what I wanted to say.
You have to put a period here.
Capitalize this letter.
So many writing rules.
and this is only in the first few minutes of class.
I excuse myself to go to the bathroom.
Only to never return again,
I quickly head down to a local watering hole.
To hang around the true poets,
of the true world,
With mud and dirt still on their hands.
I don't want to read the Whitmans,
the Byrons,
What the hell is a Chaucer?
The new poets that now sit with me,
ask with whiskey on the collective breaths,
so how was poetry class?
I say with blood shot eyes ,
(AAHHHH Poetry Sucks!)

On 30 May 2009, 317655 passes Turkey Street on the 1747 Liverpool Street - Cambridge, diverted this way.
Towards the end of their careers, DMU sets were thrown together with whatever was available. DMS number W51141 was allocated to Laira, but the centre car M59387 (class 108) and DMBS M53071 (class 116) were officially still Tyseley based when seen at Temple Meads on 14th May 1993.
A Class 115 DMU with M51677 leading heads North from Amersham, past Hervines Wood foot crossing, on a Marylebone - Aylesbury service.
Class 40 40036 leaves Chester station on a Bradford bound train.
Nasty looking dent in the front.

The Sovremenny class destroyer is the principal anti-surface warship of the Russian Navy. The Soviet designation for the class was Project 956 Sarych (Buzzard).
Its primary role is to attack enemy warships while also providing sea and air defense for warships and transports under escort. It complements the Udaloy-class destroyers in anti-submarine operations.
It was used in the sovjet navy, later until today in the russian navy and China bought some vessels too, which are still in use there.
Have a look at the complete album.
Metro-Cammell (Birmingham) Class 465/9 (ex-465/2) 'Networker' 750v dc 3rd rail suburban 4-car emu No.465 922 (ex-465 222) of Southeastern in their later livery of white with with light blue doors and dark blue lower body sides at Gillingham, Kent on a Victoria - Ramsgate service, 31 May 2022.
A Class 40 comes off the Chester line at Crewe North Junction, with a lengthy up freight, consisting of open and mineral wagons.
British Rail Class 745 25kV 12 car Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) 745003 working the 1P16 09:30 (10:01 1E) Greater Anglia London Liverpool Street- Norwich service train northbound at Chelmsford Station on the Great Eastern Main Line in the County of Essex (UK).
The Class 745 EMU's were a direct replacement in early 2020 for the ageing 30 year old plus Class 90 electric locomotives and their slam door British Rail Mk3b coaches which previously worked the Norwich- London Liverpool Street express services..
745103 was built by Stadler Rail at their facility in Bussnang Switzerland as one of the Stadler 'FLIRT' (Fast Light Intercity and Regional Train) modular family of trainsets.
Note the Dellner type coupling system in the big ugly hole at the front of the trains. The Dellner coupling is a version of the Scharfenberg coupler which connects pneumatics and electronics at the same point of contact.
Greater Anglia had an option to have a cover fitted in these coupling holes by Stadler but declined for cost and ease of maintenance reasons.

Unidentified class 47 running light engine at Severn Tunnel Junction on April 24th, 1975. The former milk tankers were part of the fire-fighting train for use in the tunnel.
A Class 47 (looks like 47255 or 256), adorned with the silver roof associated with Stratford depot in East London, appears to be a long way from home as it climbs away from Llandudno Junction bound for Holyhead on 17 July 1978. A wide selection of contemporary road vehicles make up a picture of an age that has passed into history.
