For a three-year period from late 1973 until late 1976 I made no photo-specific notes whatsoever, so for shots taken during that time span the only option I have is to try to reconstruct details from my spotting notebooks, unless I wrote something directly onto the slide mount. However, for this photo there are three things I can be certain about: the place, the date, and of course the identity of the principal subject.
Class 73 electro-diesel locomotive No. 73122 is seen here in ex-works condition at Eastleigh on Tuesday 2nd April 1974. I don't know whether this was the depot or the works, but maybe the loco's condition suggests the latter. It's likely that I was on a school Railway Society trip, given the presence of the boys on the right and the date falling within the Easter holidays. TOPS re-numbering was in full swing by this time, and many of the entries in my notebook for that day look like this:
73122=E6029
There's a good chance that the Duff and the "33" also visible in the photo are Nos. 47350 and 33111 respectively, but I cannot confirm it.
Just thought I would post this. The connection between the batarang and the 1x1 antenna piece was interesting, but this was the only idea I could come up with at the time:(
I remember being pleased to photograph a railway scene complete with semaphore signals as living on the line out of Waterloo, we didn't have any locally.However, the Class 73 was certainly a familiar sight at places like Woking.
This class of locomotive was specifically designed to work the electric lines that used a third rail for juice which was widespread on the old Southern Region. To operate in non-electrified areas such as sidings, a small diesel engine was fitted also.
Over the years, some have been withdrawn and some entered preservation - often on lines away from their traditional stamping ground. But a handful of the class now operate sleeper trains on the Scottish sections - these have been re-engined with a considerably more powerful diesel engine and 73006 illustrated here can today be found in the wilds of Scotland wearing the number 73967.

The first Yashica Electro 35 camera was introduced in 1966 . It is a range finder camera . A number of cameras with that name appeared since then, with various suffixes . One of these is the Yashica Electro 35 MC in 1972. (according to a Dutch ad MC should stand for 'mini computer' , but possibly it just stands for 'manual choice'(of focus) ?) This camera is a simplified version with a zone focusing scale .
73 005 attached at Eastleigh after 47 806 failed with the 1E35 09:00 Poole to Newcastle service, here seen at Reading where both were replaced by another 47.
Yashica TL Electro. (The SLR, rangefinder shots on my feed are titled "Yashica Electro".)

The head is from Darth Vader. While the scars are perfect, the head is...expressionless. If LEGO ever made a Wade Wilson head, it would work perfectly.
For Electro's torso, you want to use a variety of parts to mimic his jacket. The torso comes from Han Solo. You want to use the older ones so they don't have all the pockets. Use the TLBM Soccer Mom Batgirl arm for some sweatshirt detail, and a plain black arm for the other.
For the legs, I would recommend the CMF Series Something Dino Tracker's legs. They work well for Electro's pants in-game.
The setting: A late afternoon, driving between Sydney and Brisbane one weekend. I stopped at the roadside to gawk and take countless photos of a pair of Black-shouldered Kites / White-tailed Kites / Australian Kites (depends on who you ask...)
This transformer was 180 degrees away from my subjects, but as birds go, they are not 100% cooperative. So, it was nice to spend a few moments capturing an interesting subject in an interesting situation where it wasn't likely to move or fly away... :-)
Pictured with the ST-7 tripod which was made for Yashica in West Germany. I haven't seen this model before with the chrome details. They are usually all black with red trim. From a Yashica sales brochure from the early 1970s.
