As much as I love and indeed buy lots of Matchbox and Hot Wheels models sometimes you can't help but feel a bit short changed when you compare them to the products of Majorette. Just look at this stunning Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, it is weighty and solid and has features you just won't find together on your average mainline Mattel product. It has fabulous detailing at the front and rear with clear plastic headlamps, an accurate interior and an opening rear door and all this for just one pound! Currently available at this price at Morrisons stores who have very recently updated their Majorette range. If you want to pay double this price then Tesco offer this exact model in fancier packaging. Mint and boxed.
A class 105 arrives at Wainfleet on the 1345 Skegness - Grantham (despite the destination blind!) on 9 August 1986.
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

Occasionally a stranger would end up working the Exeter Paignton locals and get locked into the diagram for a week or two until its home depot kicked up enough and found a way of getting it home.
This happened to 31405, she only stayed around for a few days but with its distinctive white stripe this Finsbury Park celebrity was quite popular. I managed this shot of her working the 1608 Exeter to Paignton.
The Class of 2014 climbed the risers on the Plain on Thursday, April 10, 2014 for their class photo. Always a fun event to capture. The Class photo will be available from PanFoto in the very near future.
SWR Class 444 No.444032 leaves Upwey,with the 11:05 London Waterloo to Weymouth service,on a wet 9th of March 2020.
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.

GBRF Class 66 No.66715 passes Fairwood,with the 09:00 Crediton to Westbury Down TC working,on the 2nd of September 2021.
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.
Class 47 - 47580 - County of Essex .
Seen moving into Salisbury station from sidings - 47580 was support Diesel for The Flying Scotsman Cathedrals Express tours to Salisbury and The Hampshire Cream tea tours - on 21/5/2016 And 28/5/2016
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 319 319381 is seen here terminating at Luton in August 2006. It carries the old Thameslink colours with First Capital Connect stickers over the Thameslink names.
Perfect little budget 1/64 diecast of a then current Mercedes-Benz C-Class saloon. Realtoy certainly knew how to craft their licensed castings and somehow cram them full of intricate detailing front, back and sides and then finish them in glossy and well applied paint. Definitely a golden era when their products were in abundant supply in UK big name stores and supermarkets. This one dates from sometime in the 2000's though was bought recently from Ebay, seemingly the only place to find Realtoy these days!
Mint and boxed.
Class 47 47519 is pictured on the now non-existant centre road at Newcastle Central on April 13th 1979.
A shot of my 830 class models.
All are by Auscision except for 858 which is by Trainorama.
I have actually since sold the Trainorama unit.
These units are very hard to photograph well, as the Silverton locos roofs reflect light of course, and so then darkening the shot makes the yellows look too dark (which they are a tad in this one).
I'm going to try to take some timed exposure shots of the Silverton units to try and show the roof detail (although admittedly its the same as the other 830s really).
This is the Hornby electric class 71, with third rail and phantagraph.
It's seen on very unfamiliar settings, on the ELMRC Newcastleton layout, pulling NSE MK2 coaches
An unidentified B.R.(S.R.) 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. Scanned photograph from an old album I bought in a junk shop in Sittingbourne, Kent in 1976. Identity of photographer unknown.
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.
