Venerable Freightliner AC electrics no. 86613 and 86614 pass Nuneaton on 21st August 2014 working 4M54 Tilbury R.T.C-> Crewe Basford Hall freightliner.
The Class 86 locomotives built upon the Class 81-5 however they included some improved features such as quieter fans. The locos were initially notorious for causing track damage due to a large amount of unsprung mass however, after modifications which led to the fitting of large flexicoil springs, the problems diminished. The initial class 86/0 subclass was limited to 85 mph due to the track-wear issue, those which were fitted with flexicoil springs were renumbered into the 86/2 series and were 100mph capable. 3 test bed class 87s were numbered 86101-103 and were 110mph locos, 86101 remains in the country as part of the ACLG collection and should be moving to Warrington soon for ice breaking duties. Many locomotives have been exported to operator Floyd in Hungary and are used on freight trains over there. 86701 and 86702 were also preserved by the ACLG however, it is looking like they will be exported in the new year. The 86/7 subclass was 110mph capable however they were withdrawn in early 2013 due to lack of GSMR fitment. After nearly 50 years of service, 13 locos remain in service with Freightliner and 1 with ETL. The 86/6 subclass is limited to 75mph and are used on Freightliner trains on a daily basis as working pairs. 86501 is the only 86/5, it was converted from an 86/6 in 2000 as an experiment with regearing being carried out. It can handle the same load as two 86/6s and frequently turns up on Class 90 turns.
Class 506 no. M59604M seen at Manchester Piccadilly on the last day of services under 1500V DC wires on Sat 7th December 1984.

This is my final cake for my Beginners Buttercream class. We had to do a moulded cake (ie Wilton) and follow the directions. I decided to do a christmas one so I could freeze it and use it later for Kindy. My instructions were minimal and the pic I had to follow extremely tiny, despite that, I am quite pleased with the result. The teacher Sherrie did the twisted candy cane on the door, as you can see one is better than the other but still effective. It was quite an interesting cake to make as it used more techniques than just the basic star to cover the cake. The other cakes from the class were all pox, sorry Sherrie, and I didn't even bother to take photos, but I did pick up some tricks which will make decorating a little easier and more efficient.
A long line of Class 14 Teddybears sit inside what I've been told could possibly be Hull Dairycoates MPD between 1966 to 1968 as they were stored at the location pending future sales to the private sector.
Sorry but there is very little information on this photo so any help with a possible date or location greatly received.
This Pic is part of a collection from the 1960's & 1970's. They are all prints of various sizes with some colour and some black & white with almost half having written details on the rear.
The photographs were purchased as a set some time ago and after spending some time cleaning the images up I now feel it is time to show them and not let the collection just hide away.
Photographer Unknown.
Unid Class 46 at Newark Northgate July 27th 1965. This Pic is part of a collection from the 1960's. They are all prints of various sizes have been lent to me so that I can scan them, and clean them up a little. The current owner has no desire to exhibit them but has given permission for me to do so.
