Preserved British Railways 0-6-0 'Gronk' diesel electric shunter D4092 (British Rail Class 10) at Barrow Hill Railway Centre in Derbyshire (UK).
D4092 was built at Darlington Works in 1962 and withdrawn from BR service in September 1968.
The Class 10 (08/09/11) shunter 0-6-0 design was based on the LMS Class D3/7 shunter of 1939 and LMS 12033 shunter series for the war department in early 1945, so it's safe to assume the basic body design you see here dates from the late 1930s.

Withdrawn Class 10 number D3476 at the South Yorkshire Railway's Meadowhall site on 9th March, 1991.
This shunter looked destined for a life in preservation but after a period in storage at the Colne Valley Railway it was scrapped during March, 2009.

Ex B.R. class 10 D3489 'Colonel Tomline' is on rail tour duties around Felixstowe Docks on 18th April 1993.
Living in Asia and traveling frequently makes it desirable for one to be able to take one's lifestyle "on the road" with them. Of course, the flatscreen TV and stereo are still at home, but unlike the times when I still lived in the US, I spend more time listening to music here while traveling rather than sitting at home.
Even in the ancient days of cassettes, I had always been a stickler for quality music. Why listen to music if the sound quality is crap? Therefore, I have acquired a travel kit of premium musical gear.
PMP
Believe me, I would love to use an IPOD Touch. The design and the quality of the physical device is the cutting-edge standard. However, two things keep me from using the IPOD/iPhone. Number one is the sound quality. Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch have always been cutting-edge in terms of the user interface, materials, and video quality. However, the sound quality of the IPOD and iPhones is only average to below-average. Just Google the topic and you will see users bitching about the sound quality (but being Apple fanboys, they also apologize for Apple - "oh, maybe they will fix it in the next release").
The IPOD does not even have a graphic equalizer....just presets for ROCK, JAZZ, etc. The DSP chips are old and the sound quality shows it.
The other reason for passing on the IPOD is that piece of horrid software known as iTunes. I have thousands of CDs so I don't need to download crappy 128K music from the iTunes store, and I don't want to have to use this software every time I want to update the music in my player. With almost any other device, one can copy music and any other files back and forth from the device as if it was an external disk.
As an IT professional, I disdain the "control freakism" of Apple and its products. I know that their products are popular, but so is Hepatitis B. Sorry.
Thus, I have been using Korean PMPs from iRiver and lately, Cowon. The Cowon D3 (shown here) is an Android-based media player. Firmware updates are available on the Internet and are easily installable. And unlike the IPOD, I don't have to ask Mr.Steve Jobs for permission to use the product that I just purchased.
The interface is slow and terrible. The screen is AMOLED and is superb. Built-in memory is 32GB and I add a 32GB Class10 microSD card to bring total memory up to 64GB.
The sound quality is just stunning. The D3 has a parametric equalizer (this is a pro feature that audiophiles lust after) but to be honest, I have been using the presets. The Cowon has its own digital enhancement called "BBE" which comes in several "flavors", including 3 for headphone use. Using my Phillips earbuds, I have bass frequencies rocking in my head as if I was wearing full-sized headphones. With my Grado's, I hear new details in songs that I have listened to for 10 years....I can hear Springsteen taking a breath in the beginning of "Candy's room".
I rip CD's or FLAC files at 320Kbps.
When in the hotel, the new flat screen TVs that are in most Asian hotels that I stay (seems like Samsung has provided new TVs to hotels throughout SE Asia !) have USB and HDMI ports so that I can connect the D3 directly to the TV and listen to music in my room using the TV's sound system. Typically, there is an application in the TV for playing music, with the menu and album cover art displayed on the TV screen.
I also store movies on the D3 for playback on the long plane flights. I rip movies from DVD's at 2 Mbps into MP4 files or download files in the new MKV container format. The typical movie file is 1.5 to 2 GB in size. I can watch the movie on the player, or connect the player to a flat screen TV using the HDMI interface. The quality on the TV screen looks almost the same as DVD quality.
HEADPHONES
Headphones are the next link in the audio chain. The crappy white earbuds that typically come with an MP3 device should be donated to the garbage can ASAP.
Most of the time I use a set of Phillips SHE9800 earbuds. I discovered these by accident after reading glowing reviews on the Internet. I've never been a fan of Phillips, but these are great. I had been using IEM (in-ear monitors) from Shure and Ultimate Ears (used by Madonna, Bono, etc...who cares?) but I grew to dislike the fact that these phones have to be jammed into your ear canal in order to get the proper sound isolation. The SHE9800's also "close up" your ear canal to external noise, but they are not sitting 2mm from your eardrums like the IEM's. They consist of two parts: A high-frequency driver that sits inside your ear, and a low-frequency driver that resides outside the ear canal. You get tons of bass compared to typical earbuds, and less chance of hearing damage. They retail here in Bangkok for about US $90...probably cheaper elsewhere. Sony makes a version that has a similar design, and sounds about the same. Unfortunately, Phillips has discontinued this model. Like most things today, something good is replaced by something cheaper, of less quality and performance, but higher in "trendyness" that is attractive to brainless fashion-conscious consumers. Think: white colored devices.
The 9800's seem to put the music inside your head, between your ears. It is an amazing effect that audiophiles call the "sound stage inside your head".
On the flight, I use a Sony noise-reduction headset of the earbud type. It runs off an AAA battery, and completely eliminates the noise of the engines and wind in the cabin (unless your are in an A340 which is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop!). I've had these for almost 10 years.
I've noticed that some fellow travelers have started using full-sized Bluetooth noise-reduction headsets in the cabin. It just looks too big and dorky for me.
The downside of in-flight noise reduction is that the plane noise is completely removed, allowing you to clearly hear the screaming brat behind you, or the drunk "you-know-from-where" male tourist, who progressively adds more and more f-words (as the number of brews he has consumed increases) to his rambling drival about "what f**ing pubs he's gonna visit in the f**ing short time he's got in f**ing FOOO-KET". No worries !
HEADPHONE AMPS
Lately I have started using an add-on headphone amplifier from FIIO. This Chinese company makes portable headphone amps for a little as $10 ! I recently bought their E11 model which gives a 300 mw output. The effect is dramatic ... you get lots of bass without having to use lots of volume. I use this mostly when i'm home (with the Grado's) but even with the SHE9800s, the bass is like using full-sized headphones. The E11 runs for many days on one charge and uses a common cell phone battery (easily replaced). I bought one in Central World for about US $60 (same price as on Amazon). It has switchable impedance and bass boost.
For home use (meaning not walking around), I use a pair of Grado 225i phones. Grado is an American company (Brooklyn) that makes handmade headphones. Their cheapest model (the 60) has been a legend for more than 10 years and retails for only US $69. It looks like cheap Radio-Shack plastic crap but it is not. Four steps up from the SR60 is the SR 225i, which goes for about US $200. It is typically compared to $1000 headphones by audio nuts. I wanted to have a pair of really nice phones to chill with, and with the D3 and the FIIO amp, it's just bliss ! I replaced the stock (and uncomfortable) earpads with the aftermarket yellow ones. Much more comfortable, but .... yellow?
11th July 1979. Ex B.R. class 10 D4067 is seen around the Nailstone/Bagworth area, on 11th July 1979. Before coming to Leicestershire, it worked in the Kent coalfield, and is now preserved at the Great Central Railway at Loughborough.
Private carrier BRC (Bulgarian Railway Company ) diesel class 81.0743 ( type LDH 125 ) and BDZ PP DMU class 10.039/040 at Dobrich station 10.12.2016.
This 15" railway operated from 1922 to 1928. It was operated by Bassett Lowke No. 18 'George the Fifth' which was built in 1911 originally for the Lakeside Railway in Southport. It later ran at Rhyl and Southend (Kursaal) before ending up at Belle Vue in Manchester from 1938 to 1964.
By the 1970s it was running at the Steamtown Railway Museum in Carnforth. In 2000 the entire railway at Carnforth was sold to Hollywood movie director Francis Ford Coppola - 'George the Fifth' now resides in working order at his California estate.

This loco was built at Darlington Works in 1958 as D3489 for British Railways. Of the type later known as class 10, they were similar to class 08 but fitted with Blackstone engines rather than English Electric. The last were withdrawn by BR in 1972. This example was sold in 1968 and worked at Felixstowe Docks where it was seen on 1 November 1980 during a rail tour to the Docks branch. This loco is currently (2021) preserved on the Spa Valley Railway.
ROBIN, ex class10 D3618 has stopped for handbrakes to be applied before the downhill move towards Langley Mill, with loaded MGR's from Moorgreen colliery on 20th January 1984. Beyond the rear of the train was the junction with a former line to Brinsley and Underwood collieries.

Class 10 D4067 turned up at Doncaster Works in November 1976 for repair on behalf of the NCB. It had been withdrawn from Shirebrook Shed in December 1970, and sold to the NCB, it then worked in Kent & at Nailstone Colliery, Leicester before being preserved at the GCR Loughborough in 1980.

Ex-BR class10 D3618 is seen at NCB Annesley on 7th April 1978.
"Ah, you want to see Robin Engine..." was the reply from the helpful staff when we dropped by.
D3618 moved between Lincolnshire and Shirebrook during its BR life before sale to NCB at here at Annesley Colliery. It later moved on to Moor Green Colliery in 1982 where it was cut up in 1985.
Doncaster on the 10th of April 1960 and stabled we have Class 10 shunters D3637, D3439 and D3443.
D3637 was new to BR from Darlington works in November 1958 and withdrawn in November 1968, cutting up was at Cohens in Kettering in April 1969.
D3439 was also built at Darlington works and was new to Kings Cross shed in September 1957. Withdrawl was in September 1968 and cutting up by Steelbreaking and Dismantling in Chesterfield in January 1969.
D3443 was also Darlington Built and was new in October 1957 also to Kings Cross. Withdrawl was in December 1968 and cutting up at Booth's in Rotherham in June 1969.

D3452: I have waited a long time to see you!, looking forlorn in the storage siding at Bodmin is this rare class 10 survivor, new to New England shed in 1957, it was withdrawn from Toton shed in 1968 and sold to ECC Fowey being preserved in 1989
10026 with 10025 at the rear on train 28205, 11:30 Dobrich to Varna on 28 October 2018. The run down station is in full evidence here. Whilst new trains have been delivered in the last 10 or so years, very little investment has been made into the infrastructure itself.
From here I made my way on foot across Dobrich to the bus station to travel through to Silistra later in the afternoon by bus. This saved several hours travelling time.
Under the watchful eye of our guard former British Rail Class 10 shunting locomotive 10119 (D4067) approaches the rear of our 'Drive A Deltic Experience' train to take us back south out of Rothley station, our train was headed by the Deltic Preservation Society's class 55 locomotive 55019 'Royal Highland Fusilier', which had failed in the station whilst working back to Loughborough Central.
16th September 2021
NCB Whittle Colliery was located alongside the A1 road in Northumberland and connected to the ECML by a 6 mile branch line through woods and fields with a few minor road crossings.
After steam was displaced, it was worked by a fleet of ex-BR class10 shunters, most of which had additional headlights fitted at each end for working this branch in the dark.
Here No56 (D4068) is masked by trees as it heads through the fields bringing another rake of empties back to the colliery from the BR exchange sidings at Warkworth in June 1981. When the colliery was closed in 1985 it was cut up on site there.
I had rejected this slide in favour of others taken here that day which can be found elsewhere on my Flickr site, but decided to post it anyway.
R4522. The Class 10 Pacifics were introduced by the Central South African Railways in 1904. There were 15 of them and they were built by the North British Locomotive Company. They were withdrawn in 1972 and we saw this one, No.744, at Bloemfontein Loco Shed on the 6th September, 1972.
According to E. Talbot in his book ‘Steam from Kenya to the Cape’, 744 was saved for preservation and, by 1975, it was at Springs. Does anyone know if it is still there or, if not, where it is now?

One of the lovcations in Bulgaria which took on an allocation of the Siemens Desiro DMUs is Dimitrovgrad. These are allocated to work services on the Podkova branch. Unreliability of these sets has already been reported and some 6 months after my visit in September 2012 things have not improved. Thanks to a knowledgable contact, I was informed shortly before my visit that services on the Podkova branch had been cancelled and replaced by buses due to a shortage of DMUs. Due to short turnaround times and some stations not equipped with run round facilities, loco hauled replacements were not a viable option. However despite last minute re-planning (as I had pre-booked hotel accommodation at the last big town before the end of the line, Momchilgrad) I decided to omit the branch. However, it appears enough DMUs were found by the time I visited Dimitrovgrad on 28 September 2012.
Seen between duties on 28 September 2012 is 2-car set 10045 and 10046.
