The 3 kV DC Class 6E1, Series 4 electric locomotive was designed and built for the South African Railways (SAR) by Union Carriage and Wagon (UCW) in Nigel, Transvaal, with the electrical equipment supplied by the General Electric Company (GEC).
One hundred locomotives were delivered in 1973 and 1974.
The Class 6E1 family saw service all over both 3 kV DC mainline and branchline networks, the smaller Cape Western network between Cape Town and Beaufort West, and the larger network which covers portions of the Northern Cape, the Free State, Natal, Gauteng, North West Province and Mpumalanga.
Beginning in 2000, Spoornet (new owners of South African Railways) began a project to rebuild Series 2 to 11 Class 6E1 locomotives to Class 18E, Series 1 and Series 2 at the Transnet Rail Engineering (TRE) workshops at Koedoespoort. In the process, the cab at the no. 1 end was stripped of all controls and the driver's front and side windows were blanked off to have a toilet installed, thereby forfeiting the locomotive's bi-directional ability.
Since the driving cab's noise level had to be below 85 decibels, cab 2 was selected as the Class 18E driving cab, primarily based on its lower noise level compared to cab 1, which is closer and more exposed to the compressor's noise and vibration. Another factor was the closer proximity of cab 2 to the low voltage switch panel. The fact that the handbrake was located in cab 2, was not a deciding factor, but was considered an additional benefit.

BR Class 117 Pressed Steel DMU WR set no. B450, Westbury, 9 September 1986. The Railcar Association Website (http://www.railcar.co.uk/his100-109/101ops2.htm) suggests that the centre car of this three-car unit (59539) would have been a Class 101 (Metropolitan-Cammell) TC(L). The set (possibly without 59539) was transferred to Tyseley (Birmingham) in 1987, becoming T315. The car numbering in 1986 would have been: W51352 / 59539 / 51394.

British Rail Class 220 'Voyager' Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) 220030 with the 1V56 07:50 (11:39 1E) Glasgow Central- Plymouth Cross Country Trains service train at York Station on the East Coast Main Line in North Yorkshire (UK).
This train arrived at Plymouth on time at 17:42.
Note the Dellner type coupling system at the front of the train. The Dellner Coupling is a version of the Scharfenberg coupler which connects pneumatics and electronics at the same point of contact.
The energy absorption technology in a Dellner Coupling allows collisions at speeds of up to 9 mph with no structural damage and up to 22 mph with deformation while the carriages remain on track.
York Station along with its wonderful roof was designed by architects Thomas Prosser and William Peachey and was opened in 1877.

After a quick repaint or 5, I'd say I'm very happy with the class 37 design. It's very easily modifiable to any BR livery. I think my favourite is the BR dutch livery.

Watercolor - Day 2 Masking Fluid
Supplies used:
Winsor & Newton Colourless Art Masking Fluid
Spiced Marmalade, Crushed Olive, Peacock Feathers, and Salty Ocean Distress inks – Ranger
“Thinking of you” – Hero Arts Rubber Stamps
Flower rubber stamp – Just for Fun Rubber Stamps
Strathmore Watercolor paper (cold press 140 lb.)
Onyx Black Versafine inkpad
Using the Onyx Black Versafine ink, I stamped the flower onto the watercolor paper. After letting it dry, I applied the masking fluid with a paintbrush over the entire flower.
Since I don’t have any watercolors, I made them by smooching the 4 Distress Ink pads onto a different section of my non-stick craft sheet and then spraying each color with water. The masking fluid had pretty much dried by the time I finished making up the watercolors, so I applied the colors starting with Spiced Marmalade, Crushed Olive, Peacock Feathers, and finally Chipped Sapphire. (This color combination is my new favorite.) After letting the watercolors dry a little bit, I wiped any wetness off of the masking fluid and then rubbed the masking fluid off. It came off really easily. Just be sure your fingers are clean when rubbing or you may leave smudges on the white areas.

Here's a train of empty 16t mineral wagons heading for clayton west, to be loaded with coal. probably 1981-ish.
Another 99p Store find from the 2015 Christmas period was this impressive little model of a Mercedes-Benz ML-Class by Welly. I already had a few of them in my collection but Matchbox beating models at less than one pound is too good to ignore! LOL.
This of course is a licensed model and so gets some nice detailing and accurate bodywork features not to mention a good quality paint finish and not a hint of a plastic bodywork! Mint and boxed.
