Preserved Brush Type 2 Class 31 A1A-A1A diesel locomotive 31438 ready to depart Ongar Station with the 2E23 13:55 service to North Weald on the heritage Epping Ongar Railway (EOR) in Essex (UK).
31438 was built by Brush Traction at the Falcon Works Loughborough and entered service as British Railways D5557 on October 15th 1959.
31438 was withdrawn from mainline service by British Rail in September 1995.
Absolutely adore Class 31's. Cut my young trainspotting teeth on these in this British Rail blue livery at Chelmsford station on the Great Eastern Main Line in the late 1970s.

National Express East Anglia 'dusty bin' Class 321/4 EMU 321436 still in London Midland Silverlink livery and part of a 12 car set rockets past New Hall halt near Chelmsford (UK) at about 90mph hence the blurriness.. ;-)
Class 56 56118 is pictured on the rear of a three Class 56 southbound light engine movement at Newcastle Central on February 7th 1993. The others were 56127 and 56009. Of interest is the fact that the next working through the station was another trio of Class 56s, this time northbound, with 56117 leading 56130 and 56135.

An unidentified Class 31 is seen here arriving at Bedford with a parcels van in tow, in the early 1980's. The site of the old Bedford Midland Station in the background is seen derelict before a DIY Store was built there - this has now been demolished and a car park has replaced it.
Scanned from an acquired negative.

Beyer Peacock Class 35 "Hymek" 1,700 hp Bo-Bo's No.(D)7001 & (D)7028 in BR blue with all-yellow front ends (and with the aluminium "D's" painted over) at Shelwick taking the Worcester line on the "Hymek Swansong", 09/73, as the remainig members of the class were scheduled for withdrawal soon afterwards. However, because of a shortage of motive power and the fact that the "Hymeks" were the most reliable of the hydraulics, the last was not withdrawn until 1975. Scanned photograph taken with a Kowa SET in very poor light.
Just been looking at 'Life Stinks' excellent picture of one of these locomotives which he took in the quarries near Buxton. Typically of me, I hardly ever photographed the class, I suppose I thought that they'd be around for many a year yet particularly if judged by the standards of the Brush built class 47 forebears. How wrong, the vast majority of the 60s are now withdrawn or mothballed... and I've got half a dozen shots!
Three years ago, Mrs 'R' persuaded me to take her to this mystical place at the top end of England called Northumberland to which she'd never been, a place which I'd always held in high regard due to interest fostered over the years by visits to relatives who lived near Morpeth. This was a chance encounter as we drove south, we'd seen 60 096 looped a few miles further north, and Warkworth crossing was the only convenient point which I could find in a hurry. ... Yes, I was standing on the public right of way!
Me admiring (and filming) a Class 47 diesel locomotive which was used as the shuttle to Derby Station at Toton TMD open day in August 1998.
I can't remember the number but it was one of the following.. 47475, 47624, 47761, 47766, 47767, 47776 or 47976 all top and tailing.
