InterCity Executive 86252 The Liverpool Daily Post. Standard renumber from a Dapol 86243 model with Shawplan etched nameplates. Note the slightly larger numbers that 252 carried and red painted buffer beams.
The Illinua-class battleships were the most advanced of their kind in the Vinnish navy around the turn of the century. They were some of the first to feature the new turret design, and had formidable armor and armament. They had a main battery of four 13in guns, a secondary battery of eight 7in guns, and then sixteen 6in guns and eight 4in guns. They were not without their problems, of course: with 16.5 inches of armor and such a large array of weapons, the ship was very heavy for her small frame, and tended to sag a bit lower than intended. The extra weight also caused some steering issues, and limited her to having only a few torpedo tubes. A bit slower than her contemporaries, the Illinuas nevertheless became known as some of the most reliable and effective ships of their time, some of these vessels would serve an extraordinarily long time, being modernized in the dreadnought era and then again in the 1930's to serve as training and bombardment ships.

This set of coaches were repainted and tarted up special like for the Manchester Pullman. Here we see the set departing Crewe bound for Manchester behind a Class 86.
The stock included carriage numbers 583, 506, 553, 503, 549, 586.
Train 390 making its way north between Te Awamutu and Ngaroto, hauled by a pair of International Orange- liveried Brush Class 30/EF locomotives. The lead loco is the pioneer EF and its 30year-old paintwork is now somewhat faded.
Of the 22 locomotives deliverd for the NIMT electrification scheme, 17 remain in service with Kiwi Rail. However a recent announcement that electric traction is to be withdrawn over the next 2 years to be replaced by diesel locomotives, will see the numbers of serviceable EFs dwindle.

The British Rail Class 307 Electric Multiple Units (EMU) were built by BR at Eastleigh Works from 1954 to 1956, and were constructed to a similar design to the third-rail Class 415 (4EPB) units that had been introduced by the Southern Region a few years earlier.
All units were formed of four cars, and were composed of two outer driving trailers, an intermediate trailer composite (i.e. with some first-class seating), and an intermediate motor brake.
Originally operating off the 1,500V Direct Current (DC) overhead power system used on Eastern Region suburban lines, the lines were converted between the late 1950s and early 1960s to the 6.25 kV/25 kV Alternating Current (AC) overhead system, which was adopted as standard.
From 1983-1984 the fleet was refurbished, and the work involved replacing all compartments with open saloons, and the fitting of gangways between vehicles within a unit. The first-class seating was also moved from the trailer to the non-brake driving trailer. During this period, units were renumbered under the TOPS system to 307101-307132.

Celebrity Class 50s 50033 Glorious, D400/50050 and 50007 Sir Edward Elgar at Salisbury on the day final service trains ran behind the latter two locos. Sadly, Glorious failed at Basingstoke the day before with a traction motor flashover working the 14:22 Exeter to Waterloo service. Sunday 24 May 1992.
Gave my first class on Thursday and Friday. Cindi came up on the train to learn the "Way of Rocks". And Suzie had an idea of a glass on glass she wanted to do. So the Party was on!~!!!
We had a lot of fun. Hope they felt like they learned something!~!!!!
We first went rock shopping at the local hard-scape lot. She just had to have that little rock.
I also had Cindi bring something to grout. So on Friday we did an Epoxy Grouting session.

British Rail Class 374 25kV AC 1.5/3kV DC dual voltage 16 car Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) 374008 (physically numbered as 4008) as operated by Eurostar by the buffers at St. Pancras International Station in London (UK).
The Class 374 Eurostar units are built by Siemens AG, are part of the Velaro high speed train family and are also known as the Eurostar e320.
These Class 374 units were introduced into service from November 2015 and run alongside (for now) the much older Class 373's along the HS1 (High Speed 1) line with 'Eurostar' services towards and through the Channel tunnel into Europe.

Note the ungainly air conditioning units on top of the train and the far more agreeable Victorian architecture that dates back to 1868. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Pancras_railway_station

BR BRCW Class 33 Bo-Bo 33105 (1960 Smethwick) in Wimbledon goods yard on a breakdown train is passed by a 4 EPB on a Holborn Viaduct or Blackfriars - Sutton or West Croydon via Tooting and St Helier service.
Brand newish British Rail Class 755 4 car diesel electric Bi-Mode Multiple Unit (BMU) 755417 working the 1K79 13:27 (14:26 RT) 'Greater Anglia' Norwich- Stansted Airport service train at Ely Station in the County of Cambridgeshire (UK).
The Class 755 BMU's were a direct replacement from 2019 for the ancient Class 156 'Sprinter' DMU trains that operated on rural Greater Anglia secondary lines.
The pantograph is down here and the unit is operating on diesel power as no OHLE from Norwich to Ely, however from beyond Ely southbound the unit with raise the pantograph and operate on 25kV.
755417 was built for Greater Anglia 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.
The Class 755 bi-mode units should not be confused with the almost identical looking Stadler Rail 'FLIRT' Class 745 Electric (only) Multiple Units which are also operated by Greater Anglia.
Note the Dellner type coupling system in the big ugly hole at the front of the train. 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.

Class 47 47519 is pictured on the now non-existant centre road at Newcastle Central on April 13th 1979.
A Class 50 and stock stabled at Newquay, with some sort of electrical charging going on. Looks like 'Agincourt'? It's a refurbished one in standard BR livery which narrows it down a bit.

Class "4-BEP" (later Class "410") St. Mk.I, 750 v dc 3rd rail 4-car e.m.u. in BR green livery without yellow warning panel somewhere on the North Kent Main Line, probably in the Sittingbourne area probably just after the completion of the Kent Coast Electrification Scheme Phase I in June 1959.
