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.
A southbound London Overground class 378 unit comes out of a tunnel into an essentially white scene at Wapping station on the East London Line.
As well as the white wall on the right, there is a fair sprinkling of white grit salt on the narrow platform. This is applied because although the stretch of the line between Surrey Quays and Whitechapel is below ground (and of course the River Thames), a small part of the northen end of the platform is exposed to the weather. This shot was taken on the last day of a week long cold snap across the British Isles.

Class 31 D5631 stands at Sheringham on the North Norfolk Railway, prior to departure with the 1500 Sheringham to Holt - 21/07/2022.
We had a rather eventful, but nevertheless enjoyable day on the North Norfolk Railway.
Originally, I didn't think we would be able to come here as Lorraine had planned to meet friends near Ely. However, they jumped at the chance to visit the North Norfolk Railway when we suggested we meet here instead.
Therefore, I was really looking forward to a day travelling behind this lovely locomotive & the visiting Class 25 D7659. We parked at Holt & decided to change trains at Weybourne to catch the Class 25 back to Holt. However, when we alighted to change trains at Weybourne, we were told the 'Rat' had a problem & would not be running today. Therefore, we decided to jump back on & continue through to Sheringham.
We then had a run to Weybourne & back on this loco hauled train & the replacement Class 101 DMU, before stopping at Sheringham for lunch.
We caught the DMU to Weybourne, before we returned to Sheringham behind the Class 31. We decided to take this train back to Holt & call it a day. However, there was one final catch. On arrival at Weybourne, we were told the Class 101 DMU had failed at Holt & the crew were trying to get it running again & then limp the stricken train back to Weybourne. The crew did indeed eventually get the DMU going again & it made it back to Weybourne, so we could finally get back to Holt.
It was a shame about the 'Rat', as it was my last chance to see it in action before it returned to Derbyshire, but these things happen with heritage traction & despite the fun & games, we all really enjoyed the day.

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.
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.
Although the planned withdrawal of the 'Castle Class 255' 4+2 HSTs on timetabled services was to be by the end of 2023, this was subsequently revised, enabling a small number of sets to continue in use on GWR diagrams into 2024. On 22nd September 2023 just one class 1 diagram remained, the 1G77 15:50 Penzance to Bristol Temple Meads, with 43155 'Rougement Castle' (with 43153 'Chûn Castle powering on the rear) rolls into Taunton shortly after sunset. 43155 (with 43154) was acquired by West Coast Railway Company and moved to Carnforth on 31st July 2025.

In the sidings east of Chadwell Heath station. I remember that afterwards I was challenged by a representative of the firm using the adjacent yard: "Oi! Who gave you permission to take photos? Maybe I should call the police."
"Call them if you like," I replied, protesting my sole interest in the 306s (and not any dodgy dealings that might have been going on).
Le locomotive della cosiddetta "Castle class", costruite in 171 esemplari tra il 1921 e il 1950 per la GWR - Great Western Railway - e così denominate per portare il nome di famosi castelli inglesi, sono considerate tra le più importanti e rappresentative d'Inghilterra; tutt'ora ne sopravvivono 8 esemplari, di cui 2 attive.
Nella foto possiamo ammirare uno degli esemplari in questione, la 5029 Nunney Castle, mentre effettua il treno delle 15:56 da Grosmont a Pickering, ripreso nei pressi di Moorgates (GB) durante l'Autumn Steam Gala 2014.
