An unidentified BR (Derby) Class 127 4-car suburban dmu consisting of Class 127 & 186 in Rail Blue with all-yellow front ends leaving St Pancras on a Bedford service on a very wet day in August, 1982. These dmu's should have been replaced by then new Class 316 emu's by that time but an industrial dispute over 1-man operation delayed their introduction.

In recent years the loco yard became a car park, and today this view would be blocked by a big blue 5-floor portacabin structure...

Brand newish British Rail Class 755 3 car diesel electric Bi-Mode Multiple Unit (BMU) 755328 working the 2W20 15:20 (15:34 RT) 'Greater Anglia' Ipswich- Cambridge service train at Stowmarket Station on the Great Eastern Main Line in the County of Suffolk (UK).
Note the 25kV pick up pantograph is down and the train is running under diesel power despite running from Ipswich under OHLE. The train will head off the electrified Great Eastern Main Line just north of Stowmarket were the line to Cambridge is unelectrified.
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.
755403 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.

Another local High School Building that is no longer with us... I try to document buildings and other artifacts while they are still here... before they disappear forever.
Two Class 47s side-by-side on 5 November 1972. On the ballast is 1835 (later 47354), still in green. Alongside is 1957 - one of the few delivered in blue. A Class 117 DMU is in the platform.
BREL (York) Class 508/2 (refurbished from Merseyrail 508/1) Standard Mk.II 750v dc 3rd rail 3-car emu No.508 203 (ex-508 106) freshly painted in South Eastern livery (which had actually been the new Connex South Eastern livery shortly before Connex lost their franchise) at London Bridge 11/08 on a Redhill and Tonbridge service, in the last days before this service was transferred from SE to Southern, so the newly painted livery became inappropriate for this unit almost immediately! The unit was then transferred to Merseyrail.
Just about happy enough to call this finished now. Using a Loksound V4 chip, sounds blown by Legomanbiffo.
Features full sounds, front and rear directional lighting and cab interior lights, which switch depending on direction of travel.
The Southern spec class 456 interior, ably demonstrated by class leader 456001.
At one time, the most comfortable trains on the South London Metro!
