Class 81's were one of the first AC electrics operated in the UK and 25 were built for the southern end of the WCML. Once these pioneers proved themselves the best bits from these and the other 4 classes 82-85 were used to develop the Class 86 the standard electric loco.
From then on the 81's were relegated to secondary duties such as this the 1820 Glasgow/Edinburgh-Manchester/Liverpool which 81020 is seen having uncoupled and waiting for the peg to move off so that the first diesel can drop onto the Manchester Portion

No. 206 was an ex Leyton Corporation Tramways (LCT) car built in 1931 by English Electric seating 28/46 and running on EMB maximum traction (LCC class 4A) trucks. Up until 1933 it was operated on behalf of LCT by London County Council Tramways (LCC) running in LCC livery but with an LCT monogram on the car waist panels, post 1933 it ran in the standard red and cream LT livery. In Apr 1952 it was withdrawn from service and disposed of (broken up or sold) at the LT Penhall Road Works.
The parts of the London tramways system that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to trolleybus/bus operation closed in Jul 1952.

This was photographed from the York Way platform (used by trains to Moorgate) that closed that year. A class 31 is just arriving at the head of a suburban train. Another 31 can be seen on a main line train, perhaps to Cambridge. The use of loco-hauled Mark I suburban rolling stock ceased with the opening of the electrification in October that year.
Inspired by Stuart Jones' Romsey layout with working signalling and great looking multiple-units, I started designing a layout set in the Southern region from the 1950s to 1970s that incorporates two stations with full signalling between them. so far I've started designing the 205 units that will be part of the primary motive power for the layout along with some loco hauled trains for variety.
The station in this image is a rough build for just this image but will be loosely designed on Skegness's station and its architecture once i build it fully.
DRS Class 68 No.68033 passes Yealands,with the 16:49 Sellafield BNF to Crewe Flask working,on the 7th of July 2021.
Here I am at Wolverhapton and according to realtime trains, this convoy of 97's was due to pass on platform one (right side of this image), instead being routed through 2 (the one I was standing on), so this is the best I could manage at the time.
Anyways, the convoy consists of 97302, 97303 and 97304 and the date is the 09/07/21.
