Approaching Bury Bolton Street with a stopping train to Heywood is BR Class 40 1Co-Co1 No.40106 [D.306] Atlantic Conveyor. The East Lancashire Railway had an intensive timetable as they were hosting their popular Autumn Diesel Gala. I took this photograph with my Panasonic G7 on the 24th September 2017.
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.
A much scarred slide and very 'air brushed', I thought I knew the date but neglected to write down the loco (until my 1975 diary turns up!), but it's one of my all time favourites.Thanks to Westernbasher for the correct 'gen' from his notes and for driving us all over the place in pursuit of photographs!

The Class 45 became the main replacement to steam in the 1960's, especially in the Midlands. The were powerful and fast. They did have reliability issues. Even so, the noise these make do send any Diesel Head into a frenzy. This one was working at East Lancashire Railway this Bank Holiday weekend.
Class 76 (EM1) on a westbound coal train in the Longdendale valley on the descent from the Woodhead tunnel towards Manchester from Sheffield.
This pioneering electrification scheme of the former LNER was at 1500v DC, and was started in 1935, though due to WW2, completion was not until 1954 ! The route was closed to passenger traffic in January 1970, and to freight in July 1981.
The first of the class was loaned to the Dutch Railways between 1945 -1952, and was unofficially named 'Tommy', this became an official name in thanks for the help given to NS in their post war rebuild of their network.
76-054 started life in April 1953 as 26054, and was originally named 'Pluto'; the name was removed sometime between 1968/70, and was one of the last in service, not being withdrawn for scrap until July 1981.

One was used for spares, the remainder entered service in 1970, the last was not withdrawn until june 1986.
