66304 scuttles through Ribblehead, with the 1246 Carlisle New Yard to Crewe Basford Hall light engine movement - 17/06/2021.
After the excitement of having 37425 & 37402 on this working with wagons over the previous two days, I found it rather disappointing to see this come round the corner!
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.
Zwischen dem Volkswagen Autoeuropa-Werk in Palmela und dem Export-Hafen von Setúbal pendelt planmäßig dreimal werktäglich Captrain Portugal (bis 31.12.23 takargo rail) mit VW-"T-Roc"-Ganzzügen. Als Zuglok ist planmäßig eine ab 1973 bei MLW in Canada gebaute Lok der Reihe 1550 (MX-620) eingeteilt. Takargo hat 2019 drei dieser Maschinen bei der CP gekauft und wieder hergerichtet. Am 23.01.2024 konnte die 1565 mit dem mittäglichen Zug 65885 Penalva - Setúbal-Mar bei Pontes fotografiert werden.
Between Volkswagen Autoeuropa plant at Palmela (south of Lisbon) and the harbor of Setúbal Captrain Portugal (former takargo rail) is running three pairs of block trains a day with new build VW "T-Roc" automobiles. Normally the trains are hauled by MLW built class 1550 (series MX-620) diesel locos. In 2019 takargo rail bought three locomotives of this type from national Portuguese railway company CP. At January 23, 2024 loco 1565 can be seen near Pontes with the second loaded train of the day, 65885 Penalva - Setúbal-Mar.

The KIN Svetlana, as seen in East Fleet standard livery, from above
Although technically a Torpedo Cruiser, the Svetlana-Class were a new and promising foray into the design of a fleet mainstay, the light protected cruiser. Whilst not as heavily armed or protected as even the previous generation of Manqing-era ships, she and the other members of her class featured more modern weapons, higher top speeds, and more protected casemate areas. Her six 5" Long-barrel guns had a high range, and her fore, aft, and twin mount swiveling torpedoes gave the ship powerful close-range armament as well. A secondary battery of three 2" QF-guns and three 1" QF guns for anti-TB operations are also notable. Featuring armor decks of 1.3" thickness and a citadel consisting of a 1" armored box around the engines and magazines, the ship was also quite well protected despite its small size and fast nature.

Thanks a ton to Awe and Sebas for their advice. Inspired by the actual Russian protected yacht Svetlana, and Awe's Weosule
Very proud of this, but I'll probably be replacing these pictures soon with better ones.

This Scotrail train from Glasgow Central on route to Ayr photographed travelling at high speed passed the Irvine Bogside.
The Class 380 Desiro is a type of electric multiple-unit train that operates on the national railway network in Scotland.
The Siemens "Desiro UK" family also includes units of 185, 350, 360, 444 and 450.
The trains operate Abellio ScotRail services in the Ayrshire and Inverclyde region of Scotland and had originally been intended for the cancelled Glasgow Airport Rail Link. The construction was awarded to Siemens and announced by Transport Scotland on 11 July 2008.
A total of 38 sets were ordered, comprising 22 three-car and 16 four-car units. Stations along the Ayrshire Coast Line and Inverclyde Line underwent platform extension works to allow the use of the longer trains. The trains were specified to have full access for disabled people and to have streamlined end corridor connections. On the unveiling of the first completed vehicle, it was announced that the fleet would be divided into two sub-groups, with the 3-car units Class 380/0 and the 4-car as Class 380/1.
In September 2010, commissioning of the fleet was suspended by ScotRail due to technical issues with the trains. The reliability issues and extended commissioning period resulted in an initially reduced service on parts of the ScotRail network, including the newly re-opened Airdrie-Bathgate line.
The fleet is based at Glasgow Shields Road TMD. Introduction of the fleet resulted in the cascading of the Class 334 "Juniper" and Class 318 fleet which previously operated the Ayrshire Coast Line and Inverclyde Line. The North Berwick Line operations was a Class 322 fleet replacement. The Class 334 "Juniper" stock were cascaded onto the North Clyde Line to Edinburgh Waverley, the Class 318s were cascaded onto the Argyle Line, and Class 322 cascaded onto the Wakefield Line with Northern Rail.
The fleet was introduced into public service on 8 December 2010 with 380111 operated the 16:26 from Paisley Gilmour Street to Ayr, followed on 9 December 2010 by 380102 and 380001 which worked the 15:30 Glasgow Central to Ayr service.
The North Berwick Line has been using these trains since 2011.
From 21 November 2012, the Class 380 are also seen operating the Paisley Canal Line. Electrification of the section of line from Corkerhill to Paisley Canal, to a plan devised by a ScotRail and Network Rail alliance, began in July 2012 and was completed in November 2012. The electrification works were undertaken during night time and weekend possessions, resulting in the route closing after 8pm on Monday to Thursday evenings, all day on Saturdays, and for an eight-day period in October, with work starting on 29 September 2012 and intending to be completed by 8 November 2012. Class 314 and Class 380 "Desiro" electric multiple units supplemented the existing Class 156 "Super Sprinter" diesel multiple units from energisation of the wires in November 2012. From the timetable change in December 2012, the Class 156 "Super Sprinter" were moved to other routes.
Following the December 2014 timetable change, with the electrification of the Whifflet Line, services to Lanark were re-routed into Glasgow Central High Level. Alongside the usual Class 318's and Class 320's, the Class 380s have often been used on the route.
Class 380s were due to operate some services on the newly electrified line between Glasgow Queen Street and Edinburgh Waverley via Falkirk, but this has yet to commence amid suggestions that the electrification of the line was running 6 months late.

In September 1976 Class 40, 40044 ran away whilst working the 7Z20 stone train from Peak Forest to Whitemoor Yard. The train was derailed and the following 12 loaded wagons ploughed into the rear cab. it was thought the locomotive might have to be cut up on site but it was later removed to Crewe Works, in a surprise move the locomotive was repaired, not emerging until March 1980. It continued in traffic until January 1985. The accident occured at Chinley and was photographed shortly after being rerailed.

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!
