56047 Rolls one of the seemingly never ending MGR trains through the down centre road at a foggy Leamington Spa. 27th November 1982.
60 047 gets a shunt around in the sunshine by TOTON No1 ( 08 480 ) on the morning of 17-05-15 at 09:47.
This Pic is from my personal photo collection taken from 2012 onward as I again returned to follow my hobby of photographing and bashing locos around the UK .
After spending some time cleaning the images up I now feel it's time to show them and not let them hide away in a box or on some hard drive.
Please Enjoy.
Serendipity in operation today, and it was needed with the weather the way it has been over the last few days, pouring down for the hours up until taking these pictures, then light(ish) rain during the brief period, half an hour, for the photography. In the event the required working 0Z21, was an hour late which meant it appeared during the 'cessation of hostilities' with the wet stuff, had it come by on time at 10:20, the pictures would have been almost useless. This was the 1st part of a working which I hadn't noticed would be complete later on, and in fact it wasn't too long before the return, 6M24, the headcode itself should have raised the alarm bells, came back south due to the late arrival at Roberts Road Shed in Doncaster of this 2-unit class 20 working north. The second, south-bound run was timed to leave Roberts Road at 12:05 but as the light engine move seen here was running 55 minutes late, it didn't arrive until 11:52, 44 minutes late, so the return working 6M24, set off at 12:52, also 44 minutes late and heading for Derby Litchurch Lane. It passed back through here an hour and a half after I had departed and had I noticed the headcode, 6M24, would have realised this was, yet again, a top-and-tailed set with a couple of barrier wagons, this time with GBRf 66772 at the back and the pair of 20s at the front. Heading north in these two pictures, taken from the 'mucky' footbridge at Treeton, is GBRf operated class 20s, 20118, 'Saltburn by the Sea' with fellow loco, 20132, 'Barrow Hill Depot' behind on the late-running 0Z21, Barrow Hill L.I.P. to Doncaster Roberts Road Shed. Both are owned by the Harry Needle Railroad Company and have the red 'RailFreight' plate on the cab sides with the loco names along the grey-red 'solebar' of the locos; the 20118 nameplate in grey and 20132 in red. The locos both have the standard BR large, 'InterCity' double arrow on the side, a pair of small blue stars either side of the loco number at the front and 20118 is not displaying any valid (white)disc headcode; the closest being, light-engine(s), which would be the lower two only. In my ignorance I had assumed this would be 4 class 20s on the way to Roberts Road, as indicated in 'Gen' earlier in the day but in the event turned out to be 2 class 20s' these two and a class 66 on the return south. That return, mentioned above, was just the 2nd part in a 3-part working as once the set arrived at Litchurch Lane, at 14:32, 45 mins late, it set off later at 15:37, 18 minutes early on the 7X09 for Banbury, arriving at 20:49, 21 minutes early. In the picture at right, the set passes the recently reclaimed pile of materials form the old Orgreave sidings and the down main line signal, Sheffield PSB's S0299 is showing a green whilst the down line loop signal, S0297 is at red, both glittering in the gloaming, as it were, just in front of the road bridge where Treeton Station was once located... Q.E.D.! and didn't get too wet either... next the serendipity..
Metro-Cammell (Birmingham) Class 465/1 "Networker" 750 v dc 3rd rail suburban 4-car emu No.465 155 of South Eastern at London Bridge, 10/07. Scanned slide taken with a Nikon F65D.
Greater Anglia Class 321 'dusty bin' EMU, 321325 London Liverpool Street bound on the GEML at Generals Lane Boreham (UK)
Used a different lens to my usual. Not happy with results so abandoned the photoshoot after one shot.. ;-(
An unidentified class 47 passing through Parkstone station on its way down to Poole on an inter-regional service. Taken circa 1977 on a Russian 'Zorki-4' rangefinder camera.
It would be more than ten years before the 3rd rail was laid between Branksome and Weymouth.
Scanned from original transparency using DSLR.
Railtrack sandite EMU number 930201 stands in the down goods loop just west of Southampton Central. Scrapped in 2004, 930201 had a quite complicated history, starting life as cars from 2-EPB units 5782 and 5784 and originally allocated the number 017 in the departmental EMU series.
I fund my Flickr membership, scanner and software myself. So, if you like my pictures please consider buying me a coffee! www.buymeacoffee.com/seanl

Named after their primary shipyards installation, the Sovernmy-class destroyer is the Straser Imperium's response to the Casian Dart-class. While designs for a universal destroyer were already in the works within the Imperial Navy, the start of the Feral War halted new productions. Once the Great Scouring was over and the Casian Federal Navy unveiled the Dart-class, a new design was quickly adopted and put into production. Supposedly designed by Alferd Sovernmy himself, the Sovernmy class destroyer is considered slightly overweight for a destroyer, approaching the size of a frigate, but it makes good use of this extra weight, which comes mostly from armoured hull portions. In fact, the Sovernmy is the most heavily armoured destroyer class on the Continent. It sacrifices speed and maneuverability for this, but it also has a respectable amount of weapons, featuring seven light repeaters, four aerial torpedo launchers and one missile launcher. These weapons are sparsely distributed along the hull, further increasing survivability.
The Sovernmy class is in many ways an opposite to the Dart class, favoring armour over weapons whereas the Dart crams as much firepower as possible onto its hull. In theory, these two destroyer types should be relatively evenly-matched, with the Sovernmy's higher numbers giving it the advantage. In practice, however, the slow speed of the Sovernmy denies it the ability to avoid the Dart's massive firepower, and allows the Dart class to stay out of range of the Imperials' slightly less capable guns while staying in range of their own guns. Consequently, Sovernmy class destroyers are always deployed in large numbers, usually with a larger vessel in support. While this gives the Imperial Navy a strong fist, it lacks strategic mobility and tactical flexibility.
The Sovernmy class was too late to see action during the Feral War, but saw its first action soon after in the Annexation Conflict, proving itself very capable when deployed in large numbers. It reinforced its reputation further during the Rasyan Civil War, which was the first conflict in which it was pitted against the Dart class. The results were inconclusive, with neither class destroying the other in any significant numbers. However, it was during the Continental War that the Sovernmy was truly put to the test. The backbone of the Imperial Navy, more numerous than any other warship on the Continent, was thrust against the might of the Allied Nations.
It is doubtful whether the Allied navies could have individually beaten the colossal weight of the Imperial Navy, but together, they managed to secure victory after victory, the Sovernmy was just not capable enough on its own to stand agianst its foes, and large fleets are easier to track and ambush.
Overall, while lacking in terms of pure performance, the Sovernmy is still a foe to be reckoned with, and its ease of production and low cost have made it a favorite of navies throughout the Continent, many of whom do not hesitate to buy warships from a nation they were once at war with.

Solitary class 86, 86501 trundles up the the WCML at Winwick with a Dee Marsh - Mossend train of empty steel carrying wagons on 29th June 1989. These trains were usually powered by pairs of electrics between Mossend & Warrington & vice/versa, but on this occasion only one loco was provided
Southern class 455 rolls into platform 5 at South Croydon with a stopping service from London Bridge to Coulsdon Town (formerly Smitham).
The 'Off' indicator is an aid for platform staff, or train guards/conductors, that the signal at the end of the platform is showing a proceed aspect. This particular one is effectively redundant, as all trains that serve South Croydon are now Driver Only Operated.
LNER/BR Worsdell Class J27 0-6-0 No. 65815 stands ex-works in the yard at Darlington Shed 51A on 21st July 1963. The loco was withdrawn from North Blyth shed 52F in November 1966 and cut up by T.J. Thompson, Stockton in March 1967
