Poetry Class.
(AAHHHH Poetry Sucks!)
Sitting on the floor of the first day of class.
So this is how you learn to become a poet?
I wait none the less for the arrival of the teacher /guru.
Call him or her what you may.
Wow I have to come here 3 times a week.
3 hours per class.
O well if that is what it takes to become a poet.
So many rules.
On how not only how to write a simple sentence.
But how to compose a poem,
After listening to all the rules on how to write a poem.
I forget what I wanted to say.
You have to put a period here.
Capitalize this letter.
So many writing rules.
and this is only in the first few minutes of class.
I excuse myself to go to the bathroom.
Only to never return again,
I quickly head down to a local watering hole.
To hang around the true poets,
of the true world,
With mud and dirt still on their hands.
I don't want to read the Whitmans,
the Byrons,
What the hell is a Chaucer?
The new poets that now sit with me,
ask with whiskey on the collective breaths,
so how was poetry class?
I say with blood shot eyes ,
(AAHHHH Poetry Sucks!)

Preserved and mainline certified English Electric Type 1 Class 20 'Chopper' Bo-Bo diesel locomotive 20227 in a rather agreeable London Underground livery approaching Weybourne Station on the heritage North Norfolk Railway in Norfolk (UK).
20227 was the last Type 1 Class 20 locomotive built at the English Electric Vulcan Foundry Newton le Willows in 1968 and withdrawn from BR service in October 1990.
The English Electric Type 1 Class 20 locomotives which were first introduced in 1957 are one of the most enduring first generation diesels built with at least 22 units certified for mainline use in June 2016.
The locomotive is painted in LU livery in acknowledgement of its extensive engineering train work over the years on the Metropolitan Line and the London Underground's 150th anniversary in 2013.
20227 was a special guest locomotive for the summer 2016 season at the NNR courtesy of the Class 20 Locomotive Society.
Class 20 'Chopper' Bo-Bo diesel locomotive No. 20142 'Sir John Betjeman' in commemorative London Transport livery at Kidderminster station during Severn Valley Railway’s Spring Diesel Festival on 15 May 2025. The loco was built by English Electric at the Vulcan Foundry in Newton le Willows as British Railways Type 1 No. D8142 in 1966.
A lucky day on 3 July 1998 as 47475 arrives at North Blyth on the empties from Fort William, which had stabled overnight at Bedlington (this was a Sunday). 47s were very rare on this service and this was the only time I ever saw one.

59004 (7C76) Acton Terminal Complex to Whatley Quarry empty stone hoppers working rounds the curve towards Fairwood Junction on the avoider heading to the Quarry.
April 8th, 1968
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.

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.
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.
