LMS 6127 Old Contemptibles, rushes through Brunswych Jct on load 16 and passes LMS black 5530 Sir Frank Ree.
Work on assembling the second version of the railcar has begun. The design philosophy is very different compared to the original, using some more conventional techniques. Strength and rigidity comes from a "bath-tub" chassis design. The Technic plates are there to provide attachment points for the studs-down mid-section.

Living most of it's life in the service of Canadian National by it's 25th birthday this month the C40-8W now known as IC 2455 wound up leading my southbound X118 south on the DWP from the border at Ranier
Kelvin Central took the last remaining Fleetlines in the GRT owned Midland Bluebird fleet in late 1992. This included LMS 155W one the last 6 from the 1980 delivery to Alexander (Midland) still in the Midland service and it was of the few to receive full KCB red and cream livery.
LMS 155W became KCB 1695 and is seen in Coatbridge town centre at work on the through service from Kirkwood in Coatbridge to Petersburn in Airdrie.

Another piece of rolling stock for the collection, love working around the sides of brake vans. SNOT work is the best!
Looks to me like an LNWR 'Prince of Wales' class in LMS days. Perhaps on part of the WCML where the slow lines ran outside the fast lines? Or just photographed in the middle of passing loops. The photo has caught the driver nicely. Presumably taken in the 1920s. The glass negative had a few flaws, notably the centre of the boiler has been reconstructed in photoshop. Motion blurring on the front end of the loco has been reduced. I’d be grateful for any help with the likely consist behind the front two coaches.
GVVT residents SMS 120P and LMS 168W are seen out and about on the Kelvin Valley Tour ran as part of the museum open weekend. Midland Fleetlines MRF 120 and 168 pause on the A80 across from the site of Mildand's Stepps Depot for a quick photo shoot on Sunday afternoon.

The sound was magnificent on the approach to the occupation bridge at Newbiggin. LMS Coronation Class 4-6-2 No 46233 'Duchess of Sutherland' storms through with the return working of the WCME.

The head-on view. A small amount of colour vinyl has been used to carry the V-shaped livery around the front of the train.
A recent addition to my LMS fleet. The LMS Jubilee class, featuring one of the experimental LMS high sided tenders.
'Jinty' 0-6-0 tank 7298 (BR 42798) taking a service from Llangollen up the Dee Valley in early November 1993.
I think the locomotive must have been a guest at Llangollen as it is documented as being owned by East Lancs Railway at the time. It was owned by the Llangollen Railway in the 80s when it was painted blue and answered to 'Thomas'.

Time for a new concept to try and make things work. This is much more promising as the shape is now much less angular and the body profile is consistent.
London, Midland & Scottish “Jinty” No. 7611 on static display at Kidderminster station during Severn Valley Railway’s Step Back to the 1940s event on 8 June 2025. The loco is in the same condition as it was in France after its export by the British Expeditionary Force in 1940.
The cab tapers to a 6-wide front and has plenty of windows to help the driver position the train accurately when in use. The black cylindrical part is a roller that would have help carry the overhead power lines up and over the cabs.

Here's a Macintosh 782 class tank built for the Caledonian Railway in 1904, seen in LMS days. Later in its life it was allocated to Perth, and survived until 1959. I like the coal on the cab roof, and there seem to be a couple of planks of wood on top of the tank, perhaps to help with watering. Or sweeping coal off the cab roof....
The same day as the previous image and ex LMS 1938 3-car Class 503 'Wirral Unit' 28690 sits at Southport Chapel Street. They generally ran in 6-car formations, first class accommodation was in the centre trailing car and these were the first British EMU's to have air operated doors, June 28th 1986.
*The class was replaced by the 507 and 508 EMU.
The Class 503s were progressively withdrawn from June 1984, the final service train running on 29 March 1985.
This was followed by a farewell tour on 13 April 1985.
Cars 28672, 29271 and 29702 had been used as a Sandite unit on the Northern Line after initial withdrawal in 1981.
Some units were scrapped at Cavendish sidings on the Birkenhead Dock Branch line, whilst others were scrapped at the nearby Mollington Street depot. The remainder were scrapped at Alexandra Dock, BREL Horwich and also in Northwich, mainly under contract to Vic Berry, TW Ward and HP Cartwright.
A single set, formed of vehicles 28690, 29720 and 29289, was earmarked for preservation. This was the last of the units built in 1938 to have been brought into service.
The unit is also one of the only two pre-war main line EMUs in existence which are still in original formation, the other being the 2-BIL belonging to the National Railway Museum.
The set was kept in serviceable condition and operated occasional special trains on the Merseyrail network until 1988. During this period, the set was used for the opening of the electrified line between Rock Ferry and Hooton on 30 September 1985 and for special services during Christmas 1985. At the same time, Merseyrail decided not to preserve a second set, due to a lack of spares. Following this, the surviving set participated in the Merseyrail 100 celebration on 6 April 1986. was purchased by Wirral Borough Council in 1991 and stored at Kirkdale until 1996.
Two parts of the set were then sold and kept at Steamport, Southport. Meanwhile, the Driving Trailer coach (DTS) was kept at the Wirral Transport Museum. The two parts of the unit, which were sold, have been owned by the Suburban Electric Railway Association since purchase by its forerunner, the Mersey and Tyneside Electric Preservationists in 1996 and were stored at the Electric Railway Museum on the outskirts of Coventry. After transport of the Driving Trailer coach from Birkenhead, the entire unit was correctly reformed at the Coventry museum in October 2010, for the first time in over 20 years The Driving Motor coach (DMBS) interior was open to the public during museum open days.
In 2017, the Electric Railway Museum announced that it would be forced to close and relocate its collection. The Class 503 set was moved in May 2018, to the Locomotive Storage Ltd facility in the former Hornby Railways warehouse in Margate.

26.6.2018. LMS Class 7P (Royal Scot) 4-6-0 No 46100 'Royal Scot' climbs Keighley Bank during the KWVR's 50th Anniversary Gala.
Built at Derby in 1930 as No 6152 'The King's Dragoon Guardsman', the loco swapped identities with 6100 'Royal Scot'. The engine was sent to the Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago and toured the USA and Canada.
Renumbered as 46100 by BR after nationalisation in 1948 the locomotive was fitted with a taper boiler in 1950. It was withdrawn from service in 1962.
Purchased by Butlins, it was displayed at Skegness until the 1970's when it was then taken to Bressingham Steam Museum and returned to steam. In 2009 it was sold to the RSL> and moved to Crewe. Now under the ownership of Jeremy Hosking, 46100 was given a complete overhaul and returned to the mainline in February 2016.
One of only two surviving members of the class - the other being 46115 'Scots Guardsman' which is being overhauled at the moment.
Leamington Spa has generally been a GWR station, but the LNWR also fed into the town on a more minor branch.
By 1939, the main station had been rebuilt by the GWR, whilst the branch line at this time had become an LMS operation.
Oddly, these days the three letter code for Leamington Spa is LMS.
