Class 47/0 no. 47237 hauls the 5Z42 1034 Bristol Kingsland Road-Southall Depot through Newton St. Loe on the 16th September 2013. This returning empty stock from the sunday excursions from Bristol has often included a steam loco this year so it was nice to get a proper formation in sun on one of the few occasions I have seen it. Rare bird 47237 was a bonus!

Brand newish British Rail Class 755 3 car diesel electric Bi-Mode Multiple Unit (BMU) 755328 working the 2W20 15:20 (15:34 RT) 'Greater Anglia' Ipswich- Cambridge service train at Stowmarket Station on the Great Eastern Main Line in the County of Suffolk (UK).
Note the 25kV pick up pantograph is down and the train is running under diesel power despite running from Ipswich under OHLE. The train will head off the electrified Great Eastern Main Line just north of Stowmarket were the line to Cambridge is unelectrified.
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.
755403 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.

An unidentified BR (Derby) Class 127 4-car suburban dmu consisting of Class 127 & 186 in Rail Blue with all-yellow front ends leaving St Pancras on a Bedford service on a very wet day in August, 1982. These dmu's should have been replaced by then new Class 316 emu's by that time but an industrial dispute over 1-man operation delayed their introduction.

Will take better photos later to add to groups but here’s the finished product for you guys. Might go back and change some small details later because that’s what usually ends up happening; I’m happy with how it is now though. I’d say it’s my best mech so far.

The Taigei class submarines are the newest class of conventionally powered Attack submarines of the JMSDF (Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force). With a planned number of 7 (with 4 already in operation), they are the quite possibly the most advanced convenional submarines in the world.
With a crew of 70, a length of 84meters (275ft) and a displacement on the surface of 3000 tons, these subs are equipped with an advanced Air-independent propulsion system (AIP) which gives them considerable range efficiency and noise reduction underwater compared to older submarines.
