The Imperial Navy was lacking dearly in the destroyer department; the Bagiennik class, though many were produced, were simply not up to par with the rest of the world. They were undergunned, shoddily designed, and slower than needed. Thus, the Kinzhal class was born. It takes inspiration from the destroyers of it's close allies in the Ordenric and Falaise, and provides great utility being equipped with both decent anti-air and depth charges
Armament: 4x1 4.1-inch guns, 4x1-1 inch autocannons, 1x2 1.5-inch autocannons, 3x2 21-inch torpedo tubes, depth charges
Speed: 38 knots
Credit to Ian and Awe once again for various techniques. I must say, the torpedo tubes Ian came up with are incredibly fun to spin around.

Class 33207'Earl Mountbatten of Burma' waits departure from Hoo Junction with a 10:30 special engineers train to Ashford via Dover .20th March 1992.
Preserved British Rail Class 89 25kV AC Co-Co electric locomotive 89001 being towed back to its home at the nearby Barrow Hill Railway Centre after being outshopped with a well deserved fresh coat of 1980s British Rail Inter City swallow livery at Toton TMD (Traction and Maintenance Depot) near Long Eaton in the County of Nottinghamshire (UK).
This unique 6000 bhp prototype electric locomotive was built at British Rail Crewe Works in 1986.
89001 had a very troubled service life and was written off as a nil value asset after its last revenue earning service train in July 1992.
Note space have been left for a nameplate to be attached which will almost definitely be it's original nameplate 'Avocet' which was removed on withdrawal from service in 1992.
All part of the continuing restoration of 89001 by 'The AC Locomotive Group'.

755338 accelerates past Welney Road Crossing near Manea, with the 2L81 1750 Peterborough to Ipswich Greater Anglia service - 01/06/2020. By this point of the day, a rather large gathering had descended on what is normally a quiet spot, for the impending appearance of 20205 & 20007. More on that to come!
Class 35 - Hymek
Roughing out some ideas for the nose - the sloped bricks are probably too long but there are variants around this.
Electro-Motive Diesel Inc. Type JT42CWR Class 66 Co-Co diesel locomotive 66772 at Holt Station on the heritage North Norfolk Railway in Norfolk (UK).
66772 was a special guest locomotive courtesy of GBRf (GB Railfreight) at the North Norfolk Railway during the Weybourne Traction Group's 2016 summer diesel gala.

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.
"Clinchy Class"
The former Clinchfield 3000 (Blt 9/1966) now under CSX ownership as No. 8335 commands CN empty Molten Sulfur Train S709 (Schiller Park to Ram River AB) north thru Lake Villa this afternoon. It's very nice to see this machine still going strong pulling trains and the unit even retains it's original CRR steel bell!

Class 45 no 45 150 approaches Manchester Victoria. Numerically the highest numbered class 45. The building on the left was the signalling centre. On some of my visits to Victoria there was often a locomotive or two stabled in front of the building. The lines to the extreme right are the lines from Bury, which then were electrified on the third rail. These now carry the metrolink trams. 21st October 1978.
