In the late 1980s many British Rail DMUs were replaced by the Class 150 which was produced by BREL, its own trainmaking company.

Competition for this contract was provided by Metro-Cammell of Washwood Heath, Birmingham, who made a pair of Class 151s for evaluation. These were unsuccessful, but continued in BR service for a while before being withdrawn in 1989.

Rail Operations Group Class 93 No. 93006 at Carlisle station on 11th October 2025

158790 cruises over Ribblehead Viaduct, with the 2H12 0748 Leeds to Carlisle service - 18/06/2021.

The last shot I took on our holiday in Ribblehead, before the long journey home. It was nice to grab the last train in sunshine. I remember we arrived at Ribblehead in thick fog & you couldn't see either the viaduct or the pub! This was probably the best holiday we have ever had there. We definitely went at the right time of year. The weather was a lot better this time & I certainly didn't regret missing the 'Staycation Express' in 2021!

A South Western Railway service arrives in platform 6 at it's Waterloo destination, spot on time 57 minutes after setting off from Dorking at 07.30. On the right hand side in platform 7, an eight coach formation of class 158 and 159 units will form the 08.50 departure to Salisbury.

The arrival from Dorking is formed of a class 701 Arterio unit, which are gradually entering service with SWR a few years later than originally planned due a combination of reasons. The wikipedia link below gives more detailed information.

Model is my amazing friend Rob Woodcox.

This was taken during my trip to Detroit in July, we spent the afternoon exploring St.Agnes school and when we came to this large room with the chair in the corner, I knew that Rob and his wonderful outfit would be the perfect match for my concept.

I wish I could have spent a whole week in Detroit exploring all the amazing locations that we saw while we drove around the city.

Next time!

~Little Bogie Kenner Blythe only appeared nervous, as she took her place in line at the assembly ... knowing she would not be chosen for the Homecoming Queen, or even the Court that year.

She knew she stood out from the cookie-cutter-cut-out crowd, and in fact, she had even heard grapevine rumblings that some considered her ... well ... a bit

"unusual" ...

But she also knew, as sure as a girl with a large head, four sets of eyes, and a pull-ring adorning the back of her head ... that deep down she was way before her time.

All she had to do was keep being herself, resist all temptation to become a "Barbie" ... and that no matter how many years may transpire ...

she really needed to WAIT ... to TRUST in the ultimate wisdom and timing of the Universe to be JUST RIGHT ... and it would be her turn to SHINE !!

I always liked the look of these Swindon built Class 123 DMUs, although this is the only picture I ever took of one, seen departing Doncaster on a Hull to Manchester service in February 1984. On their last legs at this time, they were withdrawn a few months later.
