Twenty-six 24 Class locomotives were manufactured by Toshiba Electric Co in Japan and introduced to run on the mainline for Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) in 1987. The 24 Class locomotives were commonly seen hauling both the passenger express services and freight from the heart of Singapore to Malaysia. The twenty-six 24 Class locomotives were named after heroes and warriors from Malay folklore.
This KTMB 24 Class Model is controlled by 1x PFx Brick and powered by 1x PF L-motor with lights and sounds.
With all these models completed, I thought it would be a good time to have a 'photoshoot'. Taken after the Singapore Brickfest 2021.

A southbound London Overground class 378 unit comes out of a tunnel into an essentially white scene at Wapping station on the East London Line.
As well as the white wall on the right, there is a fair sprinkling of white grit salt on the narrow platform. This is applied because although the stretch of the line between Surrey Quays and Whitechapel is below ground (and of course the River Thames), a small part of the northen end of the platform is exposed to the weather. This shot was taken on the last day of a week long cold snap across the British Isles.

With DB Schenker withdrawing their class 08 Shunters recently, it was a nice surprise to see one working at Tyne Yard. Shunters were probably the least photographed loco pre-digital.

It looks as though I was trespassing here, but actually I was totally legal and pointing my camera through the fence. I see on Google Maps that this spot is now completely inaccessible behind 8ft "palisade" fencing. This was one of those click-wind, click-wind, click-wind moments that the 35mm SLR camera, with lever advance, encourages. Unfortunately I was so preoccupied with getting my four shots as the train passed that I forgot to look up for a glimpse of the nameplate; accordingly the identity of the locomotive must remain forever unknown. The train, seen on Friday 22nd November 1974 at Winterbourne, north of Bristol, was the 11:15 Paddington-Cardiff. Of the four shots I took, this one ...the first... is the one I like best. Hopelessly in love with the Colin T Gifford look. I can't quite be sure from the photo whether this is Continuous Welded Rail but, by this date, I'm sure it was. With the stop at Bristol Parkway up ahead, the locomotive was probably coasting, but in imagination I hear the zing and twitter of the train's approach, transmitted through the rails.
A passenger train now arrives ex Kyle - passing the waiting goods bound for Kyle - Strathcarron Station. 9/10/73.

Class 56 locos under construction in Crewe works, 2nd July 1983. There is a number just visible on the cabside that suggests it may be 56126 or 56128.

One of the initial batch of seven units with slightly shorter carriages, 1004 is seen rounding the curve into West St. Leonards station, while I was testing out my newly acquired 135mm lens for the first time. This unit had recently been reformed as a 6S unit again, having been split in 1964 to provide carriages for two of the class 206 three carriage 'tadpole' units for the Tonbridge-Reading line.
A Class 110 DMU after arrival at York at night. I don't know the date of this as it has not been recorded but late 1980s. I do know Nikon FM2, 50mm f1.8 AI-S lens and Kodak T-Max 100 film.
British Railways Type 2 'Baby Warship' B-B diesel hydraulic locomotive (British Rail Class 22) D6300 outside Swindon Works in Wiltshire (UK) on October 4th 1960.
D6300 was built for British Railways by the North British Locomotive Company (NBL) at Glasgow in January 1959 and prematurely withdrawn from service on May 26th 1968 as a non standard BR diesel hydraulic design.
D6300 was declared 'cut up' at Cashmores Yard at Newport Wales by December 1968.
All 58 North British Locomotive Company Class 22 locomotives built were scrapped.
The North British Locomotive Company didn't fare much better than their locomotives either and the business was declared bankrupt by 1962.
These Type 2 Class 22 locomotives should not be confused with the similar looking Class 21, Class 20/2 or Class 41 'Warship' diesel hydraulic locomotives.

British Rail Class 08 0-6-0 diesel electric shunter 08836 at Ongar Station on the heritage Epping Ongar Railway (EOR) in Essex (UK).
08836 entered service as D4004 on November 11th 1960 and remains in service some 55 years later at Old Oak Common Traction and Rolling Stock Maintenance Depot (2015).
08836 was a guest locomotive at the EOR courtesy of First Great Western Ltd.
The 08 (09/10/11) 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.

Greetland Junction, near Halifax
Thanks to a friendly signalman this shot was taken from Greetland signalbox, near Halifax. Class 37 D6928 (later 37228 and 37696) pulls a single parcels van from Wakefield to Halifax.
The line branching in the foreground leads to a small oil terminal. The train itself will branch off the CV main line immediately after passing the signalbox and take the steep incline up to Dryclough Junction, Halifax. Greetland is actually two or three miles away. The signalbox I am in was originally Greetland No2. The line used to branch to the right immediately behind the parcels van.
