With a white WM on the front Tyseley Class 114 (for the number crunchers) M53038+M54006+M53030+M54011 leave Harlech on 4 June 1988 with 11.20 Pwllheli - Machynleth. Looks a bit Hornby from up the castle walls.
For many years, Reading's class 117s plodded up and down the Thames valley. Nearing the end of its career and in Network South East livery, set L409 stands at Didcot with an Oxford to Reading service.
No takers for a trip to the seaside at Morecambe today. The station is splendid, and has not been surrounded by clutter.

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.
A UID Class 40 passing through Earlestown in Oct 1975. I took this with my first 35mm SLR Halina 3000 with a 45mm/F2.8 lens with the fastest shutter speed being 250! But it did have a rather handy built in light meter.
The station building looks rather black, still smoke stained by environmental issues of the day and long gone steam trains. Thankfully its a little brighter now and platform three is back in use. At this time I knew most of the station staff sadly now all passed away Seth, Perksy (Alan Perks) and Gail Simpson {nee Morley} bless R.I.P. This was back in the day when the station staff white washed the platform edge and seen out the Holyhead's on platform 4 with a lamp. The Gasometer has long since gone just like the 40.
The original Prinz slide was in very poor condition so big thanks to Digital Al for processing it.
Class 90 90004 heads through Ingatestone towards the Capital with 1P37 1230 Norwich to London Liverpool Street
Class 67 67024 continues to operate in less than pristine external condition but has at least had a partial clean of the most important part of the locomotive - the number! - and was pictured in the 'Thunderbird' siding at Newcastle Central on January 16th 2017.

This Scotrail train from Glasgow Central on route to Ayr photographed travelling at high speed passed the Irvine Bogside.
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.
