BR Class 483 No 008 with the 1807 Ryde Pier Head-Shanklin service, seen here approaching Brading station.
Built in February 1940, these former London Underground trains have been running on the Isle of Wight Island Line since 1989, and are coming to the end of their working life.
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!
May 25th, 1985

Also on 1 February 1986, we see 27018 awaiting departure from Dundee on the 1230 to Edinburgh as 47467 leaves on the 1105 Aberdeen - Glasgow Queen Street.
A class 116 DMU shut down and stabled in the downside bay platform at Leamington Spa. 9th November 1982.
Perfect little budget 1/64 diecast of a then current Mercedes-Benz C-Class saloon. Realtoy certainly knew how to craft their licensed castings and somehow cram them full of intricate detailing front, back and sides and then finish them in glossy and well applied paint. Definitely a golden era when their products were in abundant supply in UK big name stores and supermarkets. This one dates from sometime in the 2000's though was bought recently from Ebay, seemingly the only place to find Realtoy these days!
Mint and boxed.
A class 105 arrives at Wainfleet on the 1345 Skegness - Grantham (despite the destination blind!) on 9 August 1986.
Given that the M420 has became the most common unit on my roster a little variety was necessary. With this in mind 3538 was taken out of service and modified to replicate one of the earlier units from the MR20a class. The last few members of this class share the same style of handrails that were used on later models so that eliminated one job. I did have to fabricate a new longer fuel tank though as well as changing the access door on the engineers side of the cab. On the earlier units this was one large door instead of the two piece style of later units.
I meant to upload these pics alwhile ago. They are from the class I taught this summer here in Chicago. The dolls are made by my students ( the people in the pics).
Preserved British Rail Class 03 0-6-0 diesel mechanical shunter D2184 at the Colne Valley Railway near Castle Hedingham in Essex (UK).
D2184 was built by British Railways at Swindon Works in 1962 before being sold to the National Coal Board (NCB) in 1968 for shunting duties at Southend coal depot until 1986.
The gentleman at the controls is my regular photostream contributor David who is having a quick shunt up and down the yard. ;-)
The early morning of 25th June 1985 sees Class 27 no. 27049 steaming away nicely with a passenger turn at a cool Inverness station, probably bound for the Thurso and Wick route.
