Former Class 48 47 115 passes Santon Downham hauling 1E66, the 08:19 Birmingham New Street - Yarmouth
From one of Nick's many unmarked prints and slides. Cheers mate ! This is probably 1977 as he seems to have a few Southern Railway signal box photos around Wimbledon and Richmond from that year. This looks like it's taken from a train between Clapham Junction and Queenstown Road Battersea from my hazy memory. I can't ID the loco as I'm rather hamstrung with IT failures at the moment so have limited enhancing and lack of magnification. Hopefully top loco detective Steve Thomas will be a great help with a lot of Nick's unmarked photos. I'm currently managing to use an Epson App to scan photos on my smartphone then upload to Flickr. Not ideal but at least I can get some photos up and running with the Slidefest hopefully to come soon.
So I passed by a couple pictures taken by the beautiful Perina McGinnis and Strawberry Singh that depicted "Yearbook Photos" I thought the idea was too cute and here I am!
Seven years ago I was a bracefaced gamer girl...still am a closet geek, but you'll never get me to fully admit to it!

After much delay the introduction of electric traction on the Gospel Oak-Barking line seems to be paying dividends, with decent patronage. It used to be a real backwater... but my, the trains today, while being more frequent, just crawl along at about 25 mph (compare that with the brisk operation of the Underground).
Here Overground unit no 710 260 arrives with a service to Gospel Oak.

"All other ships, head for that opening."
I have not actually seen Wrath of Khan (blasphemy, I know) so this model is based on the Miranda Class refits in DS9. Like always, to the same scale as the Enterprise set (and now to the Defiant as well).
I saw somewhere that the 1x1 plate with handle was released in light bley in a limited edition Jurassic World set. Can anyone confirm?
Class 31s were uncommon power for intermodal trains at this time.

Despite seeing almost all of the trans-Pennines DMUs, sadly I only have one photograph of them in operation, and this is a rather poor quality one as it was before I got my first decent camera. Class 124 DMC number E51967 leads a four car set with a westbound service at Doncaster in the early 1980s.
Sized for Mobile Frame Zero: Intercept Orbit, a Lego based tabletop tactical game. Based on the Salamis Kai Class from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam.
The Salamis Kai is a modified version of the lackluster but dependable Salamis class, and as such is also a frigate sized at 12 studs long. In order to bring the Salamis class into the modern era of frame focused combat, the Kai's forward bow has been modified to fit a hangar bay with a vertical lift elevator and topside launch catapult, necessitating the removal of one of the main guns. In order to increase the weight of the attacks the Kai could throw in medium range anti ship bombardments, the secondary bridges were replaced with duel main gun mounts, effectively increasing the total number of barrels to 9. Between the additional weapons and the widening of the bow for the hangar which also necessitated the removal of the missile pods, the Kai's role in combat is more definitely defined to medium range where it might better support the frames it launches. Finally, boosters were added to the engine to improve its overall speed.
The Kai represents a focused effort to improve the Salamis overall, but doesn't quite replace the original's role in the navy. Instead, the Kai is mostly likely to be seen serving as the lead vessel in a small task force comprised of several additional normal Salamis class ships operating in areas deemed less important or dangerous enough to warrant a true capital ship. Alternatively a ship or two of the Kai class may be attached to an existing task force to supplement the frame squads available for duty.

Sat. 9th July 1983 Stratford TMD Open Day
One of many excellent depot open days held in the 1980s :)
Locomotive History for D158 / 46021
D158 was new to service on 15/03/1962 and was allocated to Derby (17A) shed. It was renumbered as 46021 in 1974. Withdrawn after collision damage [seen in my other shot taken that day] on 16/01/1983 and eventually dismantled at Swindon Works in 1985.
And a more detailed Locomotive History for D158 / 46021 46021 was built at Derby works as D158, entering traffic in March 1962 and would spend its early years on Midland Main Line duties until becoming a Bristol engine in the early 1970’s. After eighteen years service it would fall victim to the mass storage of class 46 locomotives (at Swindon) at the end of the 1980 summer timetable. However at the end of 1981 an increased demand for Type 4 locomotives found the BR looking to the storage lines at Swindon for an answer and brought back into service were 46006/07/10/17/18/21/22/25/38/50/54. Although officially reinstated on the 29th November 1981 46021 did not leave Swindon works for Bristol Bath Road and an A Exam before re-entering traffic until the 17th December 1981. 46021 would survive in traffic for just over a year before being withdrawn again in January 1983. Following withdrawal it was towed to Stratford DRS as a source of spares before eventually arriving at Swindon works where it was broken up in June 1985.

Photos that were nearly lost to oblivion!
The original slide was rescued from a box of 'duds' that I could never quite bring myself to throw away - now I am glad that I kept them ;)
Taken with a Zenith TTL SLR camera and standard lens. Scanned from the original slide with minimal digital restoration

The second ship of my new space fleet. Deployed in large numbers, the Hermes Class Cruiser forms the backbone of the fleet.
47532 at Arpley SP. I took a number of shots at Arpley stabling point with my Minolta 7000 SLR with a Minolta 400mm lens and tripod. This is one of those and great when the loco was at the rear near the signal maintenance depot. photo taken in 1990.
In the summer of 1996 Class 60 no.60035 passes Bedlinog with a loaded MGR from Cwmbargoed Disposal Point to Aberthaw.
This was around the time Class 60s replaced pairs of Class 37s on these trains and this is the first time I saw a Class 60 on the branch. I never been back to the line since but will make the effort again one day as the scenary is superb.
Caledonian Sleeper 73968 leads 73966,92038 and 92010 though Newcastle working 0Z80 Polmadie to Doncaster
86219 (Pheonix), in Intercity livery, at Springburn Works, Glasgow on 5.10.97. I note that this wasn't scrapped until 2002 so presumably it was there for some TLC!
Class 15, ADB968002 (D8237) outside Sheffield near Brightside. Photo taken from a passing train
This was stored at Toton for a while before being transfered to Sheffield as seen here before being taken into Marple & Gillots scrapyard for disposal, it was cut up in April 1985 so this photo will date from March or April 1985
An unidentified Class 47 with 2 Class B tank wagons - presumably bound for Stranraer harbour? Early 1980s.
