GBRF on hire to DCR 60021 crosses the River Soar and frozen flooded fields, Normanton on Soar, Loughborough with a diverted empty 6Z89 Middleton Towers to Chaddesden siding (rather than loaded sand to Ravenhead) on Saturday 11th January 2025. Unsure if it wasn't loaded due to the freezing tempratures, it was blue sky when the train passed over Loughborough South junction around 2 miles South of here, the freezing fog came in extremly fast pace.

Among the fondest memories from Marna's childhood are those from dance class. A few weeks ago, while driving to a birthday party for a friend of Paige, we noticed that our area now has its own little dance school. It turns out that they've been operating on a more informal basis until recently. Nonetheless, the sighting was something that we remembered to check back on.
One day, after Paige's pre-kindergarten class, she and Marna went over to the studio and enrolled Paige for lessons. Paige has always loved dancing around the house with mom and dad - especially since dad is 6' 7" and can hoist Paige to significant heights for thrilling moves. There's no hoisting here however, with the class tackling ballet first, and tap later.
No little dancer would be complete of course without her pink leotard and tutu.
It's too early to be sure if Paige's enjoyment of dance vis a vis the Daddy Express translates well into something more formal, but so far she is definitely showing interest. On the first day of class Paige remarked to the instructor that the tap shoes were too noisy. To which came the swift reply of "well now, that's why you're here isn't it?"
Final displays of my March class, held last weekend here in Hamburg/Germany. I'm really proud of the girls, as non of them had worked with flowerpaste before! Aren't those roses beautifull?
Thanks for looking!
Class 150/1 Sprinter in Provincial Livery approaches Blythe Bridge Station on a Derby to Crewe service in 1990.
Further West we find another unidentified Class 47, this one is waiting departure from Newquay. It is August 1981 but the steam heating is on! I was never a 'basher', one Class 47 sounded very much like another as far as I was concerned back then, but a loco-hauled trip over the Newquay branch was always highly enjoyable.

A farewell tour of the ever reliable Class 43's on the East Coast Main Line took place over a few days before Saturday 21st December 2019. All are now withdrawn from service with this operator. The last leg of their journey was from Leeds to Kings Cross. 253 003 (W 43006) and 245 029, along with several carriages, were hand painted especially for the final journey. Well done to L N E R for their efforts, all looked wonderful. It was rather busy at Newark it has to be said.

Lufthansa's First Class on the upper deck of the Boeing 747. The seats are a generation too old. They do recline to a flat bed but do not provide as much privacy as pods or suites. The food and service more than make up for the seats though. On this flight we were only two passengers in First Class. It felt like being on a private plane -- except it was a jumbo jet.
The British Rail (BR) Class 08 is a class of diesel-electric shunting locomotive. The Pioneer Class 08 No. D3000 was built in 1952 although it did not enter service until 1953. Production continued until 1962; 996 locomotives were produced, making it the most numerous of all British locomotive classes.
As the standard BR general-purpose diesel shunter, almost any duty requiring shunting would involve a Class 08. The class became a familiar sight at many major stations and freight yards. Since their introduction, though, the nature of rail traffic in Britain has changed considerably. Freight trains are now mostly fixed rakes of wagons, and passenger trains are mostly multiple units, neither requiring the attention of a shunting locomotive. Consequently, a large proportion of the class has been withdrawn from mainline use and stored, scrapped, exported or sold to industrial or heritage railways.
