For many years, Reading's class 117s plodded up and down the Thames valley. Nearing the end of its career and in Network South East livery, set L409 stands at Didcot with an Oxford to Reading service.
No takers for a trip to the seaside at Morecambe today. The station is splendid, and has not been surrounded by clutter.

My first Flickr upload and the start of my entry to this years Octrainber.
When I first heard the subject for this years competition one loco immediately sprung to mind, the Class 08. I had this on my list of locos to design but had prioritised the Faster locomotives of the East Coast Mainline.
I have fond memories of running an OO Gauge Class 08 in British Rail blue around my bedroom as a kid and often saw one at my local train station (Ipswich).
The model is using ML (#8) wheels and is powered by a medium PU motor reduced 12:20 to give it prototypical running speed and PU battery box. Building the Class 08 in Dark Blue presented it difficulties, especially with the lack of plates/tiles with clips, but I think it has come out well.
This movement of a new c2c Aventra back to Wembley was my other main target for the day but at one stage I didn't think it was running, with the 720 eventually departing from Shoeburyness 34 minutes late but thankfully it was following directly behind my train from Upminster! I knew I had plenty of time to walk the short distance here as the connector loop was already occupied by the 3S70 RHTT ahead of it.
The introduction of the small fleet of 8 class 720s for c2c has become a very protracted affair with many mileage accumulation runs on the WCML in order to attain fault free running and the return of units to Litchurch Lane for modifications. The North Thameside commuters have been complaining vociferously about overcrowding in the peaks partly thanks to the removal of the small fleet of 387/3s that initially were loaned to Great Western for Newbury services and are now at work for Great Northern and have been pressing hard for the introduction of the Aventras as soon as possible.
