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.

Preserved BR (Swindon) Class "14" 650 hp 0-6-0 No.D9516 in BR two tone green livery at the Didcot railway Centre, 26/05/14. Built in 1964, after withdrawal in 1968 it was bought by Stewarts & Lloyds Minerals (later part of the British Steel Corporation) and served at Buckminster Ironstone Quarry, Lincolnshire, and subsequently BSC Corby until 1981 when it was sold into preservation.
My new Lego model of a Bulleid pacific; Merchant Navy Class '35005 Canadian Pacific'.
The Merchant Navy class were designed for the Southern Railway in Britain by Oliver Bulleid, and were built between 1941 and 1949. They originally had 'Air Smoothed Casing'; a type of streamlining. They were later followed the smaller and lighter 'West Country' and 'Battle of Britain' classes (which were identical apart from their naming). These were also originally built in streamlined condition. My other Lego Bulleid loco, '21c123 Blackmore Vale' is an example of an original condition West Country Class.
In the 1950s onwards, the Southern Railway was taken over by British Rail, who began to rebuild all 3 classes of the Bulleid pacifics, without the streamlining, to allow easier maintenance. This model is an example of a REBUILT Mechant Navy class.
The real '35005 Canadian Pacific' is now preserved at the Mid-Hants Railway, and I've seen her running many times.

Sadly no loco number recorded with this snap - how very irritating! I've uploaded the pic as its shows a railfreight loco on a parcel service at Derby. What is the coach behind the loco? any ideas? It looks like a modified BSK but I've not seen one before. July 1987
