I want to "Thank" everyone for their Comments & Fav's. As, I only type using one finger, I sometimes "Panic"! :-) in trying to keep up. I try hard to always to return the favor.
Note: The blue flowers in the background are Wild Flag Iris.
At Crewe open day on 22nd September 1979 Iris, the test coach was present. The unit was one of two that first saw service on the Banbury (Merton Street) to Buckingham trains. they were M79900 and M79901 single car Derby Motor Brake seconds that had two 150 b.h.p. engines for their 27 tons, they had seating for 52 passengers. Iris has become RDB 975010 and has "Train Control Group Research & Development Division, Derby" lettered down her sides. Happily the life extension as a test vehicle has seen Iris preserved
Have a beautiful day!
This is the same bunch of Irises that I posted below in a polaroid frame below... Which I kind of liked, but I'm posting it with a more conventional frame now.. ; )

In botanica, il genere Iris raccoglie circa duecento specie di piante della famiglia delle Iridacee, il cui fiore è comunemente conosciuto anche con il nome di giaggiolo.
Il nome del genere deriva dalla parola greca Iris che significa arcobaleno.
Iris is a genus of 260–300 species of flowering plants with showy flowers. It takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow, referring to the wide variety of flower colors found among the many species. As well as being the scientific name, iris is also very widely used as a common name for all Iris species, though some plants called thus belong to other closely related genera. A common name for some species is 'flags', while the plants of the subgenus Scorpiris are widely known as 'junos', particularly in horticulture. It is a popular garden flower.
