An opportunity was almost missed on Wednesday due to a non updated T.O.P.S list.
At 7.30am 37401 & 37409 were showing "Under Genius Control" as they were the previous day.
I was at my father-in-law's during the morning and there's no mobile phone reception at his gaff and so it wasn't until lunchtime that I discovered, through gen' sites, that 37402 had replaced 409 on the first southbound out of Carlisle that morning.
This meant that for the first time since inception both Cumbrian coast loco-hauled diagrams were sporting a large logo Tractor.
A plan was immediately formulated to attempt a shot of the two passing at St. Bees.
The 14.37 BIF - CAR was first to arrive and here the driver of its loco, 37402, is seen handing the token for the Sellafield single line section to the St. Bees signalwoman.

37037 exchanges tokens with the signalman at Arrochar & Tarbet on 2nd August 1982.
The train was the 1634 Glasgow Queen Street to Mallaig which was taken to Rannoch for 37014 back to Glasgow.
I saw a few of these token exchanges on the WHL and they were carried out at some speed! The rules of course now instruct drivers to stop and obtain the token. Tokens became a thing of the past in March 1988 when the new signalling centre at Banavie took control with radio signalling.
The loco was renumbered to 37321 in 1986 and then again back to its original number 37037 in 1989.
It spent a year in France from 1999-2000 and was stored at Wigan upon its return before being purchased for preservation in 2004.
On Sunday I had the pleasure of shooting at my first Flickr friend's wedding. It was supposed to rain, but we were blessed with partly cloudy conditions for the outdoor service.
Congrats again Jeff and Meghan!
An octagonal halfpenny dividend token of the Leeds Industrial Co-operative Society Limited. It belongs to my friend at work but thought I'd put it up.
Dividend tokens to the value of the amount spent were handed to co-op customers for each transaction. When a number of tokens had been collected, they could be exchanged for a single token of higher denomination. Each year, a dividend, expressed in pence per pound, was declared, and holders of the tokens were able to exchange them for cash at that rate. If the rate was judged to be too low, holders of the tokens could retain them in the hope that it would improve the following year.

I was flattered when reception staff at my swimming pool found this token and saved it for me !
Token got a new face-up! :D
He looks even more girly now... But isn't he pretty??? I especially love the eyes! °3°
Also, he finally got a decent wig in the right colour and eyes that don't gap like hell! Now, after a whole year (this month was his "bday"), he's finally complete! Weee~ \^0^/
Face-up is by the wonderful Smaug on DoA.
Remember the iconic scene of Eddie Murphy cruising down Rodeo Drive in "Beverly Hills Cop?" Well, here is my Hawaii perspective of that famous scene. Enjoy!
Tokens are exchanged between drivers at Romney Sands as the 12:10 from Hythe, worked by 112hp Bo-Bo diesel-hydraulic 12 'J.B.Snell' (built by TMA Engineering in 1983), enters the station and passes the 12:40 service from Dungeness, hauled as far as New Romney by 4-8-2 'Samson'. The expression on the young boy's face looking out of the window of the first coach as he sees the 'Prussian' blue steam locomotive 'Samson' waiting in the station is a picture!

92212 Receiving the token at Ropley on the Watercress line.
In railway signalling, a token is a physical object which a locomotive driver is required to have or see before entering onto a particular section of single track. The token is clearly endorsed with the name of the section it belongs to. A token system is used for single lines because of the very much greater risk of serious collision in the event of irregular working by signalmen or traincrews, than on double lines.
The driver of Eastfield's Class 37/0, 37013 prepares to surrender the token at Dunragit box as his train, the 1S40 05:13 parcels from London Euston nears its destination at Stranraer.

What a great place this must have been 40 or so years ago when 4 wheeled mineral wagons were the mainstay of the traffic hauled by Canton 37s.

The token is passed to a westbound train at Bewdley, UK. The token allows movement of this train to the next signal box.
A scene captured on a Saturday morning in June 1986 at Westbury, Shropshire as the token exchange is completed. Class 128 Gloucester RC&W DMPMV parcels unit 55994 was working the 5J02 06:35 Aberystwyth to Shrewsbury.
Westbury railway station was opened in 1862 and closed in in September 1960. The passing loop and signal box remained in use, the latter controlling the gated level crossing on the B4387. The introduction of Radio Electronic Token Block signalling on the route saw all manual signal boxes closed in 1988 with control passing to the signalling centre at Machynlleth.
The former station building visible on the right is now a private residence.
So yes I am in my mid 20's and yes I LOVE Pokemon! For Christmas, I was lukcy enough to get the special Pokemon Kanto edition of Monopoly which I really wanted and had a lot of fun playing Christmas night after dinner.
These are the tokens which replace the usual ones in the standard editions of monopoly. I was originally going to do a 1:1 macro shot of each individual token but i liked this set up better. For any Pokemon fans, definitely go out and get the Pokemon Monopoly, you won't regret it!
