British Rail Class 321 4 car EMU (Electric Multiple Unit) 321313 leads an 8 car Greater Anglia northbound service train near the 'Golf Links' foot bridge on the Great Eastern Main Line railway at Widford near the City of Chelmsford in the County of Essex (UK).
Previously here was a on track foot crossing which was replaced by the out of sight bridge along with anti trespass fences by Network Rail in 2014.
Note the 'Stop, Look, Listen' for trains illuminated warning signs from the former foot level crossing are still in situ along with the dumped crossing wood sleeper thingys on the left.

Thornaby-based Class 37 37008 (originally D6708) has just come off the Huddersfield line with this tanker train heading east. The line the engine is on became little used around this time - by August it was rusting away and was lifted around the end of the year. This was the last shot I have of an engine on this track.
Seen in a sorry state 7 years later at Tinsley - 37008/

An unknown Gloucester RC&W Co Class 119 3-car Cross Country dmu in BR green with yellow "whiskers" (before yellow warning panels were introduced) leaving Swansea (High St) on a service to Carmarthen, Summer 1963. Scanned photograph taken by myself with a Brownie 127, hence quality is not the best!
The Zeta-class submarine (also known as Type 913) was a class of six midget submarines built for the Yugoslav Navy at the Brodogradilište specijalnih objekata (English: Special objects shipyard) during the 1980s. They were designed with the purpose of laying small minefields and transporting naval special forces, with or without their submersibles, in shallow waters that were inaccessible for larger submarines. Due to their mission profile that called for a small design as well as the need to stay undetected, they lacked torpedo armament and a generator for battery recharging.
Class 303 entering Glasgow Central Station. I originally spent a lot of time trying to reclaim the detail of the train in this poorly exposed shot, but eventually decided I preferred it as a silhouette instead.
Remember when the Mercedes-Benz A-Class was a highly innovative but rather strangely styled premium small car. Seems like a distant memory now thanks to the latest generation and its much more conventional styling and the fact it now outsells the Vauxhall Astra here in the U.K. and is a regular in the top 10 best sellers!
Elk test mishap aside it did bring new people to the Mercedes fold and its extremely distinctive styling and proportions meant it couldn't be mistaken for anything else on the road. A lot of toy manufacturers were quick to bring out their own miniature versions including Realtoy who perhaps made the very best one in its scale and pocket money price point.
This is an earlier example and just look at that detailing! Realtoy never appeared to skimp on anything to ensure it lived up to its name of REAL toy and easily blasted its competitors away.
Sadly, instead of dominating the market it has now virtually disappeared from the U.K. retail scene.
Bought on Ebay back in April. Mint and boxed.

A Bournemouth bound train passes Brookwood in 1988. These trains were temporary formations while the 4Reps were being withdrawn to provide electrical equipment for the Class 442s. The leading set is a standard 4TC, but the rear set is a temporary 5TCB, being a 4TC with an ex 4Rep buffet car added. Two class 73s provide the power.

Combat Engineering has existed for almost as long as combat. As humans reached for the stars, the idea followed the along. The Helios-class was designed to support front line combat operations; it is able to jam enemy sensors, repair external damage and boost friendly shield levels.
The pictured version belongs to the Sciencia Sinistral, an independent group of scientists and researchers who hire out their abilities and experience to the highest bidder. Their combat engineering vessels are hardy enough to survive encounters with an enemy force; the SS version features enhanced jamming capabilities as well as micro-mine launchers to destroy or disable pursuing craft.
