Knox College fall term dance showcase included poster presentations by students in Dance History class, and a performance by students in Contemporary Dance of works choreographed by faculty member Jen Smith.
Class 76 on a class 8 near Crowden, taken from a brake van heading east in early 1978 whilst 'road learning' the Woodhead route. Didn't think it worthy of printing at the time but it conveys the atmosphere of that winter from the distance of 35 years!
Remember when the Mercedes-Benz A-Class was a highly innovative but rather strangely styled premium small car. Seems like a distant memory now thanks to the latest generation and its much more conventional styling and the fact it now outsells the Vauxhall Astra here in the U.K. and is a regular in the top 10 best sellers!
Elk test mishap aside it did bring new people to the Mercedes fold and its extremely distinctive styling and proportions meant it couldn't be mistaken for anything else on the road. A lot of toy manufacturers were quick to bring out their own miniature versions including Realtoy who perhaps made the very best one in its scale and pocket money price point.
This is an earlier example and just look at that detailing! Realtoy never appeared to skimp on anything to ensure it lived up to its name of REAL toy and easily blasted its competitors away.
Sadly, instead of dominating the market it has now virtually disappeared from the U.K. retail scene.
Bought on Ebay back in April. Mint and boxed.
GWR Class 165 No.165133 passes Fairwood Junction,with the 07:07 Worcester Shrub Hill to Weymouth service,on the 16th of November 2021.
Grabshot of preserved British Rail Type 2 Class 25 Bo-Bo diesel locomotive 25057 stored at the Weybourne Locomotive, Carriage Maintenance and Restoration Centre satellite shed at Bridge Road on the heritage North Norfolk Railway in the County of Norfolk (UK).
25057 was built at Derby Works as British Railways Type 2 D5207 in 1963 and was withdrawn from traffic by British Rail on March 15th 1987.
Despite numerous visits to the NNR over many years, I've yet to see or hear the forlorn 25057 in action which on a personal level as a first generation diesel locomotive enthusiast is very disappointing.
It seems 25057 has been abandoned to its fate. The locomotive is not even listed on the North Norfolk Railway website rolling stock page anymore.

To mark the withdrawal of the Class 501 units, the Southern Electric Group ran a farewell tour. Two of these three car units coupled together ran from Broad Street and covered their usual haunts of the North London Line and the DC line to Watford Junction. After a visit to North Woolwich, they then ventured highly unusually over some of the Southern Region. The train is seen here at Bromley North.
British Rail Class 745 25kV 12 car Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) 745001 working the 1P34 14:00 (15:16 RT) 'Greater Anglia' London Liverpool Street- Norwich service train at about 100 miles per hour northbound at Stowmarket Station on the Great Eastern Main Line in the County of Suffolk (UK).
The Class 745 EMU's were a direct replacement in early 2020 for the ageing 30 year old plus Class 90 electric locomotives and their slam door British Rail Mk3b coaches which previously worked the Norwich- London Liverpool Street express services..
745001 was built 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.
Note on the right the Victorian station architecture. Stowmarket station date back to 1846.
