Electro-Motive Diesel Inc. Type JT42CWR Class 66 diesel electric locomotive 66541 heads the daily 10:28 Freightliner 4M88 Felixstowe South- Crewe Basford Hall intermodal southbound through Chelmsford Station on the Great Eastern Main Line.
The caged signal device on the left is called a 'banner repeater' and these are positioned when the driver cannot see a forthcoming colour aspect signal. In this case it's for the down signal at the other end of this platform (the up line) during bi-directional workings. The banner aspect is 'on' (the following signal is on stop/danger). When a banner repeater is 'off' (the following signal is on green/proceed) the display bar will be at 45 degrees.

July 5th, 1966 - Mirfield
This was a most unusual occurrance in 1966 - Finsbury Park Class 47 D1520 (later 47421) passing Mirfield with a coal train heading west. Note the brake tender behind the loco. At this time the majority of freights were either 8F, Black 5, 9F, Class 37 or Class 40
D1520 / 47421, later The Brontes of Haworth was, for me, was one of the most frequently seen 47s, often on Liverpool Newcastle expresses during the 1980s

ROG Class 47 No.47815 Lostboys 68-88 with the Thank You NHS logo passes Beam Bridge,with the 10:14 Derby to Laira working,on the 12th of September 2020.
Greater Anglia Class 720 Bombardier (Alstom) Aventra electric multiple units forming the 14.35 Colchester Town to London Liverpool Street service approaching Chelmsford, on time, for the 15.09 departure. Scheduled to arrive London Liverpool Street at 15.46
Preserved class 47 , D1524 / 47004 , awaiting work at Embsay depot on the Embsay , Bolton Abbey Railway .
British Rail Class 180 'Adelante' Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) 180105 as operated by Grand Central Railway at King's Cross Station in London (UK).
180105 was built by Alstom and entered service in December 2001. The Adelante's have had a troubled history with plenty of reliability and train operator issues.
Note the splendid Victorian architecture which dates from 1852.
As a first impression, The seats are soft but awkward to sit on.
But we should learn to be grateful as there are trains out there with solid steel seats.
Class lights on Vermilion Valley 8310 light up as a classy fella, Jim Montgerard, calls the Brewer Yard Dispatcher to enter the the old P&E in Downtown Danville
Bombardier (Wakefield & Brugge) Class 220 "Voyager" 4-car dmu No.220 002 (ex- "Forth Voyager") of Arriva Cross Country on a Bristol Temple Meads - Newcastle service north of Yate, 05/10.
4 car National Express East Anglia 'dusty bin' EMU Class 321, 321350 in fast fading light at New Hall halt near Chelmsford (UK)
Heritage traction in B.R blue. Does it get any better? Two of the earliest Class 20s off the production line. 20007 and 20032 rest up at Llandudno Town before returning to Stoke later in the day. I remember this train picked up some really good speed along stretches of the North Wales coast and with the window open and your eyes closed it could almost have been a 40. Almost ;O/
British Rail Class 156 'Super Sprinter' 2 car Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) 156422 during boarding at Norwich station for the over subscribed (as usual) 2S14 10:45 Albellio Greater Anglia service train to Cromer and Sheringham on August 29th 2014.
I have to say these refurbished Super Sprinter units are a considerably nicer and more comfortable place to be than the nigh on 40 year old TSO (tourist standard open) ex British Rail Mk3a carriages on the Norwich to London Liverpool Street trains with their uncomfortable seats and fixed armrests. Only the lack of air conditioning is a small minus.. which of course means open windows and more noise.

Class 66 shed 66954 hustles through Chelmsford railway station on Freightliner empties bound for Felixstowe.
A nice surprise on the West Coast Main Line just North of Wolverton was Brush Type 2 Class 31 diesel locomotive 31190 double headed with its mucker 31601 hauling a RailVac RA7 vacuum excavator northbound almost certainly from Willesden.
Note the British Railways green livery and 'ferret and dartboard' emblem.
First time i've seen an in service 31 on routine patrol on the mainline for a very very long time! Really pleased to see this!
Absolutely adore Class 31's. Cut my young trainspotting teeth on these at Chelmsford station on the GEML in the late 1970s.
31190 was built as D5613 at Brush Traction Loughborough in April/May 1960.

31428 passes Beeston (Notts) with the 07.55 Sheffield to Ipswich on Friday 6th May 1988. A local landmark for many years the Beeston Boiler factory had recently been demolished.
Although Realtoy very successfully left behind their cheapo unlicensed reputation many years ago they still produce many castings from that particular era which is completely normal for a Far Eastern based toy company as indeed Welly still do also. The vast majority of their newer stuff are realistic and fully licensed models so it was quite surprising that fairly recently they introduced this saloon car which is technically generic. Its almost certainly based on their older Mercedes-Benz C-Class casting and so far has only been used in conjunction with Emergency themed liveries. Its neatly cast and well finished with painted lights and grille and a decent looking interior so as generics go its certainly very pleasing . Part of a new five vehicle set from Tesco who thankfully continue their long association with Realtoy. Mint and boxed.
Siemens Desiro Class 360 EMU 360121 at speed at thoroughly miserable and damp Generals Lane Boreham on the GEML with a Greater Anglia Clacton on Sea- London Liverpool Street- service train.
Preserved English Electric Class 50 2,700 hp Co-Co No. 50 033 'Glorious' (ex-No.D433) in BR Large Logo Blue at Tyseley 6/10.
The model class 150/1 is a repainted standard Bachmann offering.
The model has been backdated to as delivered condition by moving the air horns and adding a battery box under the driver's window.
The original valances have been rebuilt with Evergreen strip. Finally a driver figure has been added and the destination blind altered to suit my model.
A light weathering in due course will complete the model.
