Ty Mawr Country Park near Wrexham has a couple of Llamas, Pedro and Carlos, not sure which one this is, but seems completely unaware of the growling English Electric Type 3's crossing the viaduct behind him.

Myself, Rich,Jim and Gav had witnessed the loco swap and shunting manoeuvre and managed to get a few shots in the bag....somehow.
Hopefully 2021 will see the return of this venture. Thanks RCS.
A beam of light illuminate 37517 and 37248 "Midland Railway Centre" stored in Cardiff Canton at the time.

and is now
Jamie Ferguson, but will forever be remembered as 47091 and was one of the original Class 47 namers "THOR"
Awesome name, awesome nameplates and a loco from my childhood days.
Thor is on standby duties at Carlisle an ex Thunderbird but still carrying out the same duties.
Our 6th venue of the day took us to Crabley Creek Crossing. Gav, Bruce and myself were chasing the North and East Yorkshire RHTT service. The weather had been atrocious and we had all had a thorough soaking at various places. Crabley Creek is in-between Broomfleet and Brough on the Hull to Leeds line and runs pretty much east to west. The forecast was for clearing skies at around sunset but first we had to endure more heavy rain. The 37s would pass our location three times, twice heading east and once heading west. This is the westbound run from Brough to Hatfield. The weather speaks for itself.
Follow the link above for the video of the event.
BR blue 37013 and Railfreight 37676 arrive at Welshpool with the 1010 Aberystwyth-London Euston on 2 July 1988. The signaller is collecting the single line token from the driver
37692 "Didcot Depot" and 37684 "Peak National Park" wait for their next run at Cardiff Canton back in October 2004.
Heritage locomotive 37403 is seen in charge of the Branch Line Society's 'Technical Cobra' rail tour, 1Z88 from Derby-Ponterfact Monkhill. As is often the case with the Branch Line Society this special would go on to cover many more miles of relatively unused track. 50008 Thunderer was t9o be found at the rear of this train.
A quick dash up the road to make a rendezvous with 37688 before sundown. She was working the 5Z31 1347 Reading TC to Exeter Riverside where she would be staged before heading down to Penzance Longrock in the morning to pick up some old Mk3 slam door stock.
I pushed my luck with this shot, she was running 10 late and the light was fading fast.
Here's an image that goes back two years and see veteran class 37, 37218 heading back towards York through Knaresbrough station.
Colas Rail class 37175 seen reversing at Peterborough station with 3Q10 Derby RTC to Doncaster West Yard via Peterborough & Lincoln
08/02/2025 - 37403 & 37409 are seen rounding the curve away from Culloden moor heading towards inverness on 1Z37
37401 and 37402 head out of Selby over the old swing bridge and back towards Brough with the Yorkshire RHTT. A short spell of sunshine breaths colour into this classic location. For a chap from the west country this is a special spot and I make no excuses about sharing my take on this location.
Looking good in its green livery, 37411 (D6990) "Caerphilly Castle/Castell Caerffilli" is caught approaching Pontllotyn back in May 2006.
On 17 August 1988, 37320 passes Winning Junction on the Lynemouth - North Blyth alumina empties. Taken by invitation from the signalbox.
With the Avon valley covered in a hard frost, Colas Rail Freight class 37 locomotive 37219 is seen passing Newton Meadows, to the west of Bath, as it hauls the 1Z78 06:07 Bristol High Level Siding to Tyseley Depot infrastructure monitoring working on behalf of Network Rail. Classmate 37421 is at the rear of the train. In reality, the train didn't depart Bristol until 09:37 as the first part of the schedule ( a trip to Severn Tunnel Junction) was cancelled owing to crew issues. The second carriage of the formation is a Plain Line Pattern Recognition (PLPR) inspection vehicle and the rear carriage is an Overhead Line Inspection vehicle. 01/12/16.
A peak inside Cardiff Canton's main shed as 37248 and 37704 await their respective fates. It was being used to store locomotives at this time back in 2004 and had ceased its maintenance duties.
Another shot of 37402 "Bont Y Bermo" displaying its one-off livery at Pontllotyn in 2004. 2R42 1711 Cardiff - Rhymney.
37043 "Loch Lomond" waits to leave Glasgow Queen Street with the 18.20 service to Oban on Tues 25th October 1983
A typical Welsh Valley street.
I am guessing these would of been miners cottages at one point.
The village of Pontlottyn is the next stop for 37418 with the 1701 from Cardiff Central to Rhymney .
