Two of the Nederlandse Spoorwegen 60 strong 1100 class locomotives which date from 1950 and were based upon the SNCF Class BB 8100 design, they were extensively rebuilt between 1978 and 1982.
They operated on both freight and passenger turns and were the NS main locomotive until the arrival of Class 1600's.
Unfortunately they were very unpopular to a point of being downright hated by the drivers for a number of reasons, and they were paid a special bonus for driving them.
Here 1109 and 1111 stand at the buffer stops near to Zwolle station, the last of the class was withdrawn in 1999, although many were out of service before then.

My second roll of colour film and sometime in May 1983 a class 31 rolls off the Reading line and across the Junction into Basingstoke Station heading for Eastleigh yard (I guess?) My Gran lived in Hampshire so I spent many school holidays on the South Western division and this is the only time I saw a Class 31 in this area. The class 31 seems to be the only sharp part of the picture but I cannot tell you if its the awful lens on the Halina Paulette Electric or my beginners technique! 2 blurry spotters can be seen on the left watching the rare loco.

The Project 690 Kefal ("Mullet") class (known in the West by its NATO reporting name Bravo class) was a design of military submarines that were built in the Soviet Union. The boats were designed for use in ASW exercises, but could also be employed in a combat role. Four vessels were built, which were commissioned into the Soviet Navy between 1967 and 1970. All four boats were stricken in the 1990s. "SS-310" (pictured) is the last surviving submarine of this class. Located at the shipyard in Kherson.
Подводная лодка "СС-310".
Водоизмещение (надводное/подводное): 1912/2488 т. Размеры: длина - 69,6 м, ширина - 8,8 м, осадка - 6,25 м. Скорость хода (надводная/подводная): 12,2/17,5 узлов. Дальность плавания: над водой 2500 миль, под водой 400 миль. Силовая установка: дизель-электрическая, 1 винт. Вооружение: 1 533-мм носовой торпедный аппарат, 1 400-мм носовой торпедный аппарат, 10 торпед, 2 прибора ГПД. Глубина погружения: рабочая - 270 м., предельная - 300 м. Экипаж: 34 чел. История подлодки: Подводная лодка пр.690 "КЕФАЛЬ". Данная ПЛ-мишень предназначалась для проведения испытаний новых образцов противолодочного оружия, тренировки противолодочных расчетов и отработки тактики надводных, подводных и авиационных сил ПЛО в процессе их боевой подготовки. В соответствии с техническим заданием лодка-мишень должна была воспринимать удары реактивных глубинных бомб РГБ-60 калибром 212 мм, весом 110 кг и торпед калибром 533 мм, весом до 2200 кг (в инертном снаряжении), имеющих скорость хода до 50 уз. При этом сама подводная лодка-мишень должна была иметь скорость полного хода не менее 18 уз. Произведенные проработки показали, что невозможно обеспечить защиту прочного корпуса ПЛ пр.613 и 633 за счет зашивки легких корпусов деревянными брусьями с одновременным увеличением толщины обшивки и сохранении остойчивости ПЛ. Кроме того, не обеспечивалась заданная полная подводная скорость хода лодки-мишени. После того, как все заинтересованные организации убедились в невозможности переоборудования боевой ПЛ в лодку-мишень, надежно защищенную от ударов противолодочного оружия, было принято решение о проектировании и постройке специальной ПЛ-мишени. 28 февраля 1963 г. было подписано постановление ЦК КПСС и Совета Министров СССР о проектировании и строительстве ПЛ-мишени, предназначенной для практической отработки и обоснования точности наведения современных и проектируемых образцов противолодочного оружия и совершенствования тактики надводных, подводных и авиационных сил ПЛО. При выполнении проектных проработок ЦКБ-112 совместно с ЦНИИ им. А.Н.Крылова и 1-м ЦНИИ ВМФ разработали и в дальнейшем приняли к руководству следующий принцип обеспечения защиты прочного корпуса при ударе в легкий корпус ПЛ противолодочного оружия - соединять шпангоуты легкого корпуса со шпангоутом ПК (через обшивку) стойками, сминающимися при наружном ударе (оружия). Энергия удара должна гаситься работой, идущей на упругие деформации, деформации изгиба и среза обшивки и набора легкого корпуса, а также потерю устойчивости стоек. Устойчивость последних должна выбираться из условия передачи дополнительного давления на шпангоут ПК, уже нагруженного гидростатическим давлением при погружении подводной лодки на глубину 250 м (авторское свидетельство на изобретение №31588 от 25 октября 1965 г.). Другими словами, был сделан принципиальный вывод о том, что главным положением, которым следует руководствоваться при проектировании подводной лодки-мишени, является отказ от жестких связей, соединяющих наружный корпус с прочным корпусом. Среди общепроектных требований, оговоренных ТТЗ. наиболее сложным было обеспечить максимальную подводную скорость хода не менее 18 узлов, что для дизельной ПЛ достичь весьма непросто, особенно если учесть другое требование ТТЗ, ограничивающее выбор оборудования ПЛ из числа только серийно освоенного отечественной промышленностью. В связи с этим в проекте были приняты обводы хорошо обтекаемого тела и выбран, впервые среди отечественных ДЭПЛ, одновальный вариант. Общепроектные требования и ограничения, хотя и с трудом, но могли быть разрешены в конструкторском бюро, что же касается определения ударостойкости отдельных элементов корпусных конструкций, то они требовали натурных испытаний. Кроме того, для обеспечения защиты ПК от ударов торпед в проекте приняты следующие проектные мероприятия: все шпангоуты размещены внутри ПК; прочные цистерны размещены внутри ПК; шахта ВСУ, спасательный люк и входной люк установлены в плоскостях межотсечных переборок прочного корпуса (за исключением входного люка 3-го отсека); предусмотрены усиленные верхние крышки люков; сигнальный буй приподнят над прочным корпусом (зазор больше или равен 250 мм); надстройка в районе захлопок ПВД и газовыхлопа приподнята и выполнена аналогично конструкции легкого корпуса; съемные листы в надстройке имеют усиленную толщину и набор; переборки и выгородки в легком корпусе и в надстройке соединены с прочным корпусом через угольники, уменьшающие передачу динамической нагрузки на ПК; стрингеры цистерн легкого корпуса скруглены; аппарат ВИПС не подходит к обшивке легкого корпуса; предусмотрено усиление ограждения в районе выдвижных устройств; кнехты закреплены только на надстройке; ШУ-200 установлено на переборках ПК; клапаны вентиляции в районе ПК расположены под надстройкой. Заводская себестоимость постройки головной ПЛ (расчетная) составила около 17625 тыс. руб. Продолжительность цикла постройки головной ПЛ от начала работ до сдачи планировалась около 26 месяцев, от закладки до сдачи - 17,5 месяцев. Строительство серии этих ПЛ (4 ед.) вел завод им. Ленинского комсомола в Комсомольске-на-Амуре (главный строитель Л. Д. Пиков). В соответствии с решением ВМФ и минсудпрома от 18 октября 1967 г. из-за отсутствия опыта использования ПЛ-мишеней для головной ПЛ СC-368 был установлен годовой срок опытной эксплуатации, во время которой должны были проводиться испытания по специальной программе. В течение трех лет (1967-1970) завод им. Ленинского комсомола в Комсомольске-на-Амуре построил еще три ПЛ пр.690: СC-256 (1968 г.), СC-226 (1968 г.) и СC-310 (1970 г.) для ТОФ, СФ и ЧФ. Экипаж ПЛ был сокращенным и состоял из пяти офицеров и 28 матросов и старшин. Для них на корабле создали улучшенные бытовые условия. Послепостроечные испытания подводные лодки-мишени проходили на Тихом океане, а потом часть из них переходила по Северному морскому пути на европейские театры. По одной лодке-мишени было на Северном и Черноморском флотах. После того, как были построены и сданы флоту ПЛ пр.690, ВМФ, МСП и Министерством машиностроения в декабре 1974 г. было принято решение модернизировать ПЛ пр.690 для отработки по лодке-мишени стрельбы гравитационными противолодочными снарядами комплекса "Ливень". Подводная лодка "СС-310" была заложена в Комсомольске-на-Амуре на завод имени Ленинского комсомола в 25.04.1969 г (заводской №193). Спущена на воду в 1970 году, 31.10.1970 г. вступила в строй. В ноябре 1970 года вошла в состав Тихоокеанского флота. В 1975 году модернизирована для отработки по ней гравитационными противолодочными снарядами (РКП-5) комплекса "Ливинь" Была переведена на Черноморский Флот, включена в его состав. Вошла в состав 475-го дивизиона 14-ой дивизии ПЛ КЧФ с базированием на Феодосию. В конце 2000 года разоружена и передана в дар Украине (распоряжение Правительства РФ № 1687 от 19.10.1999 г.) с целью создания музея. 31.01.2001 г. подводная лодка "СС-310" была передана фонду "Славутич" (Украина) для переоборудования в музей (г. Киев) распоряжением Кабинета Министров Украины №23-р от 31.01.2001 г. Подлодка была оттранспортирована в г. Херсон, где находится на территории Херсонского судостроительного завода, до сих пор музея на ней не создано..

Name: Sainka
Class: Sentient Flora (some), Intelligent Flora (some) Species
Appearance: The Sainka’s appearance depends on which class/sub-species is being dealt with, but all share some commonalities. The bush/plant-class is most similar to that of Morbuzakh and Karzahni, typically being this spherical base with a bundle of vines and roots spreading out from it. The plant-class is primarily black in color, though can have some lime green vines, various types of silver metallic pieces jutting out of it, as well as translucent blue crystals.
The seed, spore, and sapling classes, while differing in many ways, are far more similar. Starting with the spore-class, these look like a spherical triangle standing up, with an extra cylinder protrusion coming out the back. They have a singular blue eye in the front, their outer shell is made of the translucent blue crystals, protecting the loose green seed and mechanics inside. Three lime green roots/vines sprout out from each corner, with an additional three coming out the back. On the front are three little blasters devices fused in the crystal shell.
The seed-class is much like the spore-class, though does not have the cylinder protrusion in the back and is instead composed of two the spherical triangles, the corners of one triangle rest in the opposite of the other. Its shell is black, with additional blue crystal coverings, and have four black roots/vines, two coming out of each side. It also has three blasters fused into the front of its shell, but has additional ones in its roots/vines.
The sapling-class is closer to the spore-class, but differs in many ways. While its shell is translucent blue crystal, its shaping is more of a spherical plus sign laying down, with cylinder protrusion in the middle, both top and bottom. Harder, blackened roots forming a base on the bottom cylinder stretch out from it, with either lime green or orange roots/vines attached to the ends. Unlike the other two, it has no visible eyes and no blasters in its casing.
Physiology: Sainka is a biomechanical plant, meaning that like other Matoran Universe beings, it is a mix between organic and mechanical nature. The exterior of Sainka is covered in Protodermic armor, with gaps and breaks in this armor revealing the cellulose underneath. It possesses all the typical plant makeup and structure internally, though made of Protodermis like all MU plants, but also has an additional internal mechanic skeleton and parts for structural support and functions. Design to obtain nutrients from any environment, Sainka can live anywhere from inside volcanoes to frozen wastes, but tends to prefer places with lots of existing plant life. To best explain the Sainka plant, it must be further split into several sub-classes.
Plant-Class: The Sainka plant-class, sometimes also known as the bush-class, is the primary species. It is a large factory plant that places itself in an area and begins to swiftly take over, draining away all nutrients and materials to itself. Materials gathered are refined and either used to help expand and grow the Sainka or to manufacture war machines. The primary purpose of the Sainka is the creation of these war machines and soldiers, continue to spread, gain resources, increase military size and strength, and expand conquest.
Members of this class are all sentient and highly intelligent, more so than that of Toa. Their bodies produce a chemical that allows them to feel vibrations in the air to sense movement. Similar vibration senses in the ground as well to detect objects and creatures. If need be, crystalline eyes can be grown anywhere on its body to further check the area. If needed for self-defense, the eyes can grow into heads with sharp teeth and spew out poison or acid. Often at least one head can be found rising out of the primary base of the plant, but the consciousness does not reside there. It is merely a distraction to have attackers focus on the wrong area. Consciousness primarily resides in the main base and master root. For some reason, Sainka are weak to the Element of Air and a blast of that elemental power to the master root will kill the entire creature.
Size of the Sainka varies, depending on how long it has been growing, but the main base is typically no smaller than a city block and several stories tall. As the main base is also primary manufacturing area, it is commonly defended by blades and crystalline structures in addition to vines and heads. The roots and vines it grows can borough quite deep in the ground and easily through buildings and Protodermic defenses. Thorns can also be grown on the roots and vines, provided simply crushing or tearing apart the attacker doesn’t solve the issue. If the area has run out of nutrients and materials, the primary base can consolidate and recycle the extend parts of itself to convert into a large airship of sorts. It can then rocket up into the air and fly to a new location to replant itself.
The plant-class is the only class able to propagate, however, it can only do so once. It must choose the correctly when to do so, for its offspring will have all the knowledge and abilities gained. It can gain abilities from other plant life in the existing area, taking any desirable traits they may possess. However, these traits can only then be passed onto their offspring and are unable to add it to themselves. The only known member of this class is Venivvy.
Seed-Class: The seed-class are the singular offspring of the plant-class, design as such to keep the creature’s population under control. The internal means of growth into the plant-class are protected by a durable outer shell, which has additional physical defenses by ways of crystal armors. They tend to be larger than Toa and their beginning sprouting roots are strong enough to pulverize boulders. Highly intelligent, they can choose when where they want to plant themselves and when they should be planted. After which they can access to all the traits of the base plant-class and the addition acquired traits. Only known member of this class is Khronstor.
Spore-Class: The spore-class, often referred to as the Sparnturtors by the Sainka, are similar to the offspring seed-class in design. They tend to be the first war machines built by the plant-class, based upon the blueprints for the seed-class, and are small, easily manufactured drones. Though they are easily larger than Matoran, they are not quite Toa sized. Their outer shells is fairly thin and weaker, being made of the crystal material, which is filled with fluids and attempts to protect the little seeds inside. Unfortunately, the gaps in their design make it easy to destroy them. A simple blast of Fire or poison in the gaps will instantly kill them. Their vines/roots can crush Matoran, but they don’t have much in the way of intelligence and can be easily outmaneuvered. Their functions are simple, scout, occasionally gather materials, and attack in swarms. Though mentally connected to their plant-class creator, they act as a hive mind, knowing the plant-class’s will and needing little direct orders. They are not considered sentient like the plant and seed-classes and if the plant-class is killed, all Sparnturtors will deactivate. However, like the seed-class, they can plant themselves and become the sapling-class.
Sapling-Class: The sapling-class are the planted versions of the spore-class. They tend to be bigger, more intelligent, and more powerful. Like the plant-class, they can grow more vines/roots and their vines are now strong enough to pulverize boulders. However, unlike the spore-class, they lose all ranged weaponry. Instead, their primary focus is to act as wireless transmitters, sending nutrients and more detailed data back to the plant-class. They can also be the growth quick starter for the plant-class, allowing the roots to instantly connect and grow out to all areas the sapling knows. Though it has lost its ability to fly, the sapling-class can uproot themselves and walk to other areas. They also gain minor manufacturing capabilities, able to repair any damaged Sparnturtors. Ones that plant themselves in the water tend to have the orange vines/roots and looks more like sea kelp.
Powers: Both the plant and seed-classes have Telepathy, able to read minds of beings and creatures, as well as speak to them. Seed and spore-classes have the ability to levitate and fly, though the Sparnturtors are much faster than seed-class, they can’t go as high up. Unique to the base plant-class, it can alter parts of itself to spew out acid or poison.
Weapons: The plant-class can use thorns and vines as weapons or manufacture defensive blades to sprout from its base. The seed and spore-class are the only ones with real weapons, having small elemental blasters built into their protective shells. Spore-class only has three of these and they fire a powerful acid, similar in potency to that of the Bohrok’s Acid Shields. The seed-class has more blasters coming from its vines, but the power depends on the traits it inherits. The only seed-class known so far is able to fire an acid-lava mix.
They have been trundling along the tracks between Ryde Pier Head and Shanklin for over 30 years, but the much-adored Class 483 former London Underground trains have now been retired following completion of the last passenger service tonight (Sunday).
The last train – 006 – arrived at Ryde St John’s Road at 23:21 but there was no fanfare to be seen due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, 006 quietly pulled away from the station and into the depot sidings to mark the end of an era.
Within minutes the electricity was isolated and the line officially handed over contractors who took possession at 23:30.
A small number of people gathered for photographs of the retiring Island Line fleet, as they have been doing along the line for several months following the announcement that the Class 483s would finally be replaced.
Earlier on today 007 also ran for the last time, carrying out passenger operations until around 11:00. Both trains have carried a special destination plate entitled “483 Final Day 1989-2021”.
Class 483s at St John’s Depot now awaiting disposal
Readers will know the unmistakable clickity clack of the trains and that distinctive whistle but the line will now fall silent for 3 months as part of a £26million investment in Island Line. Track and platform adjustments will take place in January, February and March to enable the new Class 484 trains to enter service. A 30-minute timetable will come into operation in May thanks to a new passing loop which is to be created at Brading.
In the past few weeks, engineers have been struggling to keep the 80-year-old trains in operation with the service often suspended or down to an hourly service. However, hard work has paid off allowing the last 2 trackworthy trains to run for one final time this weekend. It is estimated that each train has completed over 3million miles over the past 8 decades.
L-R: Maintenance Fitters at Ryde depot Kieran Heatherington, Tony Long and Ian Butcher (Interim Depot Manager)
The trains are now set to be preserved both here on the Island and on the mainland. It has been confirmed, for the first time, that the Isle of Wight Steam Railway is to receive 2 carriages which will be preserved at Havenstreet. The London Transport Traction Group will take custody of another 2. It’s unknown at this time where the other carriages will end up.
Mark Hopwood, Managing Director of South Western Railway, has said:
“Today we’re saying goodbye to a truly iconic train fleet which is held in great affection by people living on the Island and elsewhere.
“These trains had already been carrying passengers for half a century by the time they arrived on the Island in 1989, coincidentally the same year that I started my first job on the railway, but they have served our customers well – even if they have on occasion shown their age. This is in no small part thanks to the exceptional team at Ryde Depot, who have gone above and beyond to keep the trains running.
“While this may be an emotional end to one era, it’s also the start of an exciting new one. The £26 million being invested in new trains and major infrastructure upgrades will help to deliver a railway fit for 2021, with performance and customer experience both set to be transformed”.
The history of the Class 483s
Originally built in 1938, these trains operated London Underground’s Northern Line during the war years and until they were withdrawn in the late 1980s having already completed over 40 years’ service.
In July 1989, the first of the 1938 stock (now the Class 483) arrived on the Isle of Wight to operate the 8.5-mile Island Line from Ryde Pier Head to Shanklin. The first carriages to arrive were 10184 and 11184 and they continued to operate until they were scrapped in 2006.

When the ex-Underground stock arrived on the Island they were displayed with a ‘toothpaste’ livery, which by the early 2000s changed to a rather unique and brightly coloured Dinosaur livery. By 2007 a more toned down livery was applied – the London Transport red we see today.
Each train, which can travel up to 45mph, is made up of 2 cars with each car measuring 15.94m in length. The trains are powered by a 630v DC 3rd rail system.
The future of Island Line
In September 2019, South Western Railway announced £26m of investment in Island Line that would see the Class 483s replaced by VivaRail’s Class 484 trains, as well as improvements in infrastructure allowing for a trains service at regular 30 minute intervals.
In keeping with Island Line’s tradition of former London Underground trains, the new trains are refurbished former District Line trains but with modern features including WiFi, passenger information screens and dedicated wheelchair spaces.
The first of these new trains arrived on the Island on 19th November 2020. A total of 5x 2-car trains have been ordered and are expected to be in service for decades to come. They are displayed in a dark and light blue livery.
