The first Italian-built class 802 for GWR rolls out into the sunshine following its official unveiling at Hitachi Rail Italy's Pistoia plant on 9 February 2018.
This set is due to arrive in the UK in March, joining the three Japan-built class 802s already in the country for testing. The first class 802s are due to enter passenger service in July and all 36 sets will be delivered by March 2019.
GWR expects HST operation on services from London to Devon and Cornwall to end "around this time next year." Catch them while you can!
Found a mated pair, don't see the nest yet, very difficult to find and don't want to disturb them.The costal birds have this brown cap, the inland ones, don't, I guess Sacramento is now coastal. lol.

This is the final picture I will post from our trip to France. It all concluded on our final night with a cooking class in Paris. Our main dishes were crepes and a fruit salad. There was not much of a learning curve for either but they were delicious.
Class is currently not in session as the Geometry train lays over at the fuel pad in GR. It will head east the next morning to do more math. CSXT GP40WH #9969.

one of the modes of transport in the third world.
no safety rules
if you can squeeze in
you got a ride
if you can run
and dive onto the moving vehicle
you got a ride
if you can stand the heat
the close tight fit
you got a ride

In September 1976 Class 40, 40044 ran away whilst working the 7Z20 stone train from Peak Forest to Whitemoor Yard. The train was derailed and the following 12 loaded wagons ploughed into the rear cab. it was thought the locomotive might have to be cut up on site but it was later removed to Crewe Works, in a surprise move the locomotive was repaired, not emerging until March 1980. It continued in traffic until January 1985. The accident occured at Chinley and was photographed shortly after being rerailed.
An unidentified class 50 arrives at Hayle during spring 1985.At this time the first non blue and grey liveried coaches were starting to appear in rakes bringing a splash of colour to the railway scene.
My first Flickr upload and the start of my entry to this years Octrainber.
When I first heard the subject for this years competition one loco immediately sprung to mind, the Class 08. I had this on my list of locos to design but had prioritised the Faster locomotives of the East Coast Mainline.
I have fond memories of running an OO Gauge Class 08 in British Rail blue around my bedroom as a kid and often saw one at my local train station (Ipswich).
The model is using ML (#8) wheels and is powered by a medium PU motor reduced 12:20 to give it prototypical running speed and PU battery box. Building the Class 08 in Dark Blue presented it difficulties, especially with the lack of plates/tiles with clips, but I think it has come out well.
I received a PFx brick and speaker as a prize from last year’s OcTRAINber courtesy of Micahel Gale. I fitted the brick in my VR S Class – there was just room in the tender for the brick and speaker. Michael included a light board and four LEDs. I used three at the front, and if you look carefully you should spot the fourth providing a flickering glow from the firebox.
The sounds are from the provided steam loco profile with the addition of a recording of a Victorian Railways five chime whistle. Apologies to purists for the incorrect beat since the S Class has three cylinders.
Thanks Michael for providing the prize.

I took this shot whilst window hanging from the 0635 Bristol Plymouth 1V18 with Neptune at the head. 50006 had not long been out of Doncaster after her mid life overhaul and we were just about to attack rattery bank from a standing start when Exeter raced through at the head of 0624 Penzance Paddington 1A15. Typical Bath Road allocated engine, I think all locos look much better with a healthy dollop of grime and Bath Road had a real shortage of Fairy Liquid for as long as i could remember. Note the milk tanks.

The Class 380 Desiro is a type of electric multiple-unit train that operates on the national railway network in Scotland.
The Siemens "Desiro UK" family also includes units of 185, 350, 360, 444 and 450.
The trains operate Abellio ScotRail services in the Ayrshire and Inverclyde region of Scotland and had originally been intended for the cancelled Glasgow Airport Rail Link. The construction was awarded to Siemens and announced by Transport Scotland on 11 July 2008.
A total of 38 sets were ordered, comprising 22 three-car and 16 four-car units. Stations along the Ayrshire Coast Line and Inverclyde Line underwent platform extension works to allow the use of the longer trains. The trains were specified to have full access for disabled people and to have streamlined end corridor connections. On the unveiling of the first completed vehicle, it was announced that the fleet would be divided into two sub-groups, with the 3-car units Class 380/0 and the 4-car as Class 380/1.
In September 2010, commissioning of the fleet was suspended by ScotRail due to technical issues with the trains. The reliability issues and extended commissioning period resulted in an initially reduced service on parts of the ScotRail network, including the newly re-opened Airdrie-Bathgate line.
The fleet is based at Glasgow Shields Road TMD. Introduction of the fleet resulted in the cascading of the Class 334 "Juniper" and Class 318 fleet which previously operated the Ayrshire Coast Line and Inverclyde Line. The North Berwick Line operations was a Class 322 fleet replacement. The Class 334 "Juniper" stock were cascaded onto the North Clyde Line to Edinburgh Waverley, the Class 318s were cascaded onto the Argyle Line, and Class 322 cascaded onto the Wakefield Line with Northern Rail.
The fleet was introduced into public service on 8 December 2010 with 380111 operated the 16:26 from Paisley Gilmour Street to Ayr, followed on 9 December 2010 by 380102 and 380001 which worked the 15:30 Glasgow Central to Ayr service.
The North Berwick Line has been using these trains since 2011.
From 21 November 2012, the Class 380 are also seen operating the Paisley Canal Line. Electrification of the section of line from Corkerhill to Paisley Canal, to a plan devised by a ScotRail and Network Rail alliance, began in July 2012 and was completed in November 2012. The electrification works were undertaken during night time and weekend possessions, resulting in the route closing after 8pm on Monday to Thursday evenings, all day on Saturdays, and for an eight-day period in October, with work starting on 29 September 2012 and intending to be completed by 8 November 2012. Class 314 and Class 380 "Desiro" electric multiple units supplemented the existing Class 156 "Super Sprinter" diesel multiple units from energisation of the wires in November 2012. From the timetable change in December 2012, the Class 156 "Super Sprinter" were moved to other routes.
Following the December 2014 timetable change, with the electrification of the Whifflet Line, services to Lanark were re-routed into Glasgow Central High Level. Alongside the usual Class 318's and Class 320's, the Class 380s have often been used on the route.
Class 380s were due to operate some services on the newly electrified line between Glasgow Queen Street and Edinburgh Waverley via Falkirk, but this has yet to commence amid suggestions that the electrification of the line was running 6 months late.
