LMS 2P 563 trundles across Brunswych Junction with 70023 Venus on shed. Nothing remains of this location
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The Class 503s were progressively withdrawn from June 1984, the final service train running on 29 March 1985.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.

The second incarnation of the LMS railcar is coming along nicely. As well as the two cars that survived the conversion, the train is completed by a wire wagon. This vehicle was itself also a conversion having started life as a Midland Railway 6-wheel 30 foot coach.
This render is an attempt at recreating what appears to have been the only surviving photo of the complete train, as published in the December 1949 edition of Railways.
Malcolm Mounteer says
"The Super Swimming Stadium at Morecambe, Lancashire, was one of the grandest of the 1930s modernist seaside lidos. This massive structure measuring 396ft. by 110ft. was said to be the largest outdoor pool in Europe when it opened in 1936, accommodating some 1200 bathers and 3000 spectators. Unusually for an inter-war lido, it was designed not in-house by a Borough Engineer but by two architects, Kenneth MB Cross and Cecil Sutton, who styled it to harmonise with the Streamline Moderne of Oliver Hill’s adjacent Midland Hotel"
I've also been working on the motor arrangements. I wanted to use a train motor to give sufficient speed for a passenger railcar, but the trouble with 7-wide scale is that using it conventionally means that the motor bogie would be enormous.
As a consequence, I have elected to try and hide the motor within the body of the train as much as possible and then use a conventional Technic bogie to transmit the power to the wheels.
One of the last buses to leave Eastern Coach Works before it closed its doors, this Leyland Olympian was part of the last batch purchased by London Buses in 1987.
New as L260 and carrying the registration D260FYM, it quickly gained the mark VLT20 from AEC Routemaster RM20, no doubt helped by the fact it was fitted with coach seats and a tachograph for private hire.
It initially operated with a green band, and was branded 'Bounty Bus' for a service to the Cutty Sark at Greenwich and was sponsored by Heineken. It later became part of Selkent's private hire fleet with a white band and large blue 'SELKENT TRAVEL' names.
It lost its RM registration upon sale and gained D706YHK as seen here.
