No takers for a trip to the seaside at Morecambe today. The station is splendid, and has not been surrounded by clutter.

Brand newish British Rail Class 755 4 car diesel electric Bi-Mode Multiple Unit (BMU) 755404 as operated by Greater Anglia ready to run a service train to London Stansted Airport at Norwich Station in the County of Norfolk (UK).
The Class 755 BMU's were a direct replacement from 2019 for the ancient Class 156 'Sprinter' DMU trains that operated on rural Greater Anglia secondary lines.
755404 was built for Greater Anglia by Stadler Rail at their facility in Bussnang Switzerland as one of the Stadler 'FLIRT' (Fast Light Intercity and Regional Train) modular family of trainsets.
The Class 755 bi-mode units should not be confused with the almost identical looking Stadler Rail 'FLIRT' Class 745 Electric (only) Multiple Units which are also operated by Greater Anglia.
Note the Dellner type coupling system in the big ugly hole at the front of the train. The Dellner Coupling is a version of the Scharfenberg coupler which connects pneumatics and electronics at the same point of contact.
Greater Anglia had an option to have a cover fitted in these coupling holes by Stadler but declined for cost and ease of maintenance reasons.

Norfolk & Western Railway, A class 2-6-6-4 Steam Locomotive
Norfolk & Western's "Mercedes of Steam", these articulateds featured the latest steam locomotive technology when introduced in the late 1930s. A total of 43 A class locomotives were built in the N&W's own shops at Roanoke, Virginia. Capable of 125,897 pounds of tractive effort, and able to pull passenger trains at 70 mph, the A class is one of the all time great steam locomotives. A class no. 1218 is preserved at the Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke Virginia.
My LEGO model of 1218 features working Baker valve gear, and is powered by two Power Functions XL motors in the tender driving through the tender trucks.

It felt good being back in the suit. It's been such a long time. The only thing missing of course were knuckles smeared with clown face paint. I was in luck, the school nearby was facing the heat from a myriad of misfits looking to get revenge on their old stomping grounds.
I let Catwoman release the kids. I wanted her away from Freeze's low ranking lieutenants, G.I. Eskimo. I've run into him a few times, which surprises me when this time he didn't run. He was weilding one of the newer model cryo pistols patented by Luthorcorp. I had a feeling there was more going on here than what lied upon the surface.
Behind me I could hear the kids rising up to battle, inspired by their saviors. One of the thugs was dressed like the Gotham Gorilla mascot. What's with criminals these days? They're not getting any brighter.

Two of the Nederlandse Spoorwegen 60 strong 1100 class locomotives which date from 1950 and were based upon the SNCF Class BB 8100 design, they were extensively rebuilt between 1978 and 1982.
They operated on both freight and passenger turns and were the NS main locomotive until the arrival of Class 1600's.
Unfortunately they were very unpopular to a point of being downright hated by the drivers for a number of reasons, and they were paid a special bonus for driving them.
Here 1109 and 1111 stand at the buffer stops near to Zwolle station, the last of the class was withdrawn in 1999, although many were out of service before then.
Taken from the train whilst participating on the Werkgroep 1501's railtour "The Dutch Northlander".
