Unit History
In 1959 the Western Region ordered fifteen, three car high density units from the Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company. These units were to the same design as the class 117 units being built by Pressed Steel but were classified as class 118. W51321 was originally formed with Driving Motor Brake second (DMBS) W51306 and Trailer Composite Lavatory (TCL) W59473 and entered traffic in May 1960. They were originally non gangwayed however they were eventually fitted with gangways between the power cars and trailer. On delivery the class was allocated to Plymouth Laira and W51321 would spend most of its career in the West Country before transfer to Bristol in the late 1980’s and finally Tyseley before it was withdrawn in October 1991. In February 1992 it entered the departmental fleet for route learning duties, becoming ADB977753. By 1994 it was out of use and eventually entered preservation in 1997, the only class 118 vehicle to survive withdrawal of the class 118 fleet. M55005 was built by Gloucester Railway Carriage & Wagon Co. Ltd in 1958 for Western Region branch line duties being allocated to Tyseley. In 1968 seven vehicles (55002/05/07/11/13/14/15) were re-allocated to Hamilton, Scotland and SC55005 subsequently transferred to Inverness. In March 1981 SC55005, transferred to Longsight to replace life expired class 108’s on the Stockport - Stalybridge service. It’s final transfer was to back to the Western Region at Laira from where it was withdrawn in May 1992.
Fade’s Log
Locatin-Rattatak
”I never knew what it was like to truly be alone until now. With communications cut of from my command, I have no way to make contact with the Republic. So far Rattatak hasn’t given me too many troubles as far as wild monsters but I don’t know how much longer I can make it. As I came past a Rock formation I saw what seemed to be some old platform. Then I saw a republic symbol on part of the floor! This must have been an old and abandoned republic outpost. With any luck I can find some food and supplies. And maybe, just maybe I can find a way to communicate with my command…”

Well, since mission 12.2 isn't posted I decided I might as well make mission 12.1.2 even though it's a little late. Also i changed the square thing, I hope they're done correctly :D
The sedimentary rocks that outcrop along the Newcastle coastline have been weathered and eroded into broad sub-horizontal platforms at about high tide level. Larger incident waves continue to prise joint blocks apart and abrade the platform surfaces with sand, gravel and cobbles. Repeated wetting and drying, and the growth of salt crystals works to further lower the platform surface, marking it with a variety of micro-relief forms. Bio-erosion slowly modifies the larger rock pools.

Railwaymen have a platform-end natter at Waterloo on 24 May 1990. The locomotive is 47707 “Holyrood” waiting its turn to be released from the station.

Out today with Pauls Pix 53 for a wander around Eastbourne.
We went by train, which is so much easier than driving.
