British Rail Class 20, otherwise known as an English Electric Type 1, No. 20189 at Grosmont station of the North Yorkshire Moors heritage railway on 26th September 2021. A total of 228 locomotives in the class were built by English Electric between 1957 and 1968.
Class 66 66413 in the new "Genesee & Wyoming" Freightliner livery rattles past Welney Road Crossing near Manea, with the 0851 Leeds to Felixstowe North freightliner - 12/10/2018.
I had missed this locomotive twice on a Saturday on my local patch recently, so I didn't expect to see her any time in the near future. Therefore, I couldn't quite believe my luck, when I saw the "Freightliner Bee" coming towards me! I had absolutely no idea she was on this train, so what a fantastic surprise it was to capture this beauty on camera totally out of the blue.
An unidentified class 40 sits in the down loop at Hellifield on a Novembers day in 1976. In the distance a class 25 heads north with a train of Presflo hoppers. At this time, it was common for trains to change crews at Hellifield, but the station building had been abandoned in favour of portacabins out of sight on the left of this shot.
The station had been run down through neglect and the withdrawal of various passenger services over the years. The broken clock with no hands and the grand architecture, hint of past glories at Hellifield.

Here's a real oldie as far as my railway photographs go. The 44 class 15's were built by British Thompson Houston from 1957 but didn't prove particularly successful so the class was withdrawn between 1968 and 1971. Four examples soldiered on as carriage heating units and one of them, ADB968001 (formerly D8233) is seen here in my 1978 photograph taken at colchester.
D8233 is now the only survivor and is currently located at Bury Bolton Street on the East Lancs Railway where it is undergoing an extensive overhaul.

700054 races away from Downham Market, with the 2T92 1621 Cambridge to King's Lynn Great Northern service - 12/03/2021.
Attempt number two at a Class 700 on my local King's Lynn line & this one is a considerable improvement on yesterday.
Heavy drone carriers of the 'Avari-Class' are state of the art low signature combat carriers.
When it was intorduced there was confusion over whether the carrier or the drones it was carrying were heavy... Once in use everything cleared up; both drones and the carrier itself are heavy! It features a massive side-open maintenance bay and 2 front launch bays. A small Cargo area and even a refining dock for sustainability beyond enemy lines.
Appart from its squads of drones, it features 8 capital torpedo launchers mounted sideways in the front of the hull.

My entry for this 2016 edition of Shiptember.
Thing were a little rushed as this was built while moving to a new house. Build time was spread over 9 or 10 days roughly ... early in september with yesterday finishing the rear section in a hurry to take the pictures and quickly edit today.
It is 145 studs long (116cm) and features a large (provocatively and probably-disqualifying) amount of megablocks and printed parts (mostly tiles), both in a dark olive military color.

When I left Ryan Fleagle, he was still putting coats of white paint over vinyl stencils after dark. I figured he'd return in the morning to remove the stencils and do the last of the touch up work. I started receiving text messages just after sunrise the next day filled with glee: the car's painting was done. When full sun illuminated the fresh paint there were a lot of smiles from the team of volunteers that made this happen. Everyone was thrilled with the job Fleagle's Painting had done taking the old 857B boxcar back to it's 1975 appearance.
Meanwhile the rest of the work continued forward. The inside of the car had already been framed and the sub floor installed. Now that the paint was done it was time to install the wiring and drywall so the museum planning could move forward. Brock Kerchner took the original KarTrak ACI (Automatic Car Identification) tags off PC 184301 and had them faithfully replicated in vinyl; they had to wait to be installed until the paint had fully cured.

A fictional battlecruiser that is a little of the Italian Littorio Class, a little of the Japanese Nagato Class, and a little of my own design.
This is basically a refit of my Wachira Class.
2014.09.12 Kiddeminster , UK. In a short visit to Kiddeminster I had the chance to see the Class 52 ''Westerner". For me it was a great site , as not many survived the cut-up as I understood. Compared to the 060-DA Sulzer's at home , it was something totally different.
