This little chap was being harassed by a Magpie, he did stay a while after the magpie got bored, and cleared off.
BR Standard 4 No. 76079 eases into Grosmont as Southern Railway S15 4-6-0 No. 825 waits to depart on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway on 21st September 2021.
No. 76079, built at the Harwich works of the former Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in 1957, proved to be a popular and versatile locomotive. Passed for main-line running, it acquired the nickname "Pocket Rocket" – small, but powerful!
The iconic architecture of Selfridges at the Bull Ring in Birmingham city centre. A nice bit of colour in the sky as the sun set this evening - I was glad to have the little Sony in my pocket.

I've been teaching Poppy photography, take a look at her Flickr.

#5565 - 2023 Day 86/365: One day of respite at least, and one of my perennial favourite views - cooking in the tent on a bright, sunny evening.
Will we ever see the like of this again, or is the incompatibility of fitting ERTMS systems to steam locomotives going to ensure the Cambrian remains steam free for ever? On 28th August 2007, during the last week of the 2007 'CCE' season, Ian Riley's 'Pocket Rocket' heads West Coast Railway Company's

View from the tent across Lochan nam Breac towards Luinne Bheinn, in the depths of Knoydart. This was the evening after a long but fantastic walk up and over Ben Aden from Sourlies. I can't remember what I was cooking up but I bet it tasted VERY good regardless!
BR Standard 4 accelerates away from the Glaisdale stop in fading light with the returning "Whitby Flyer" tour train to York on 18th March.
76079 charges out of Little Burrs Cutting with the 14:00 from Bury on the 5th January 2003. When it was cold and sunny like this, you couldn't go wrong with the Pocket Rocket on the ELR.

This aircraft was delivered to Court Line Aviation as G-AYOR in Mar-71. Court Line ceased trading in Aug-74 when the Clarkson Travel Group failed, the aircraft was repossessed by the British Aircraft Corporation and stored.
It was sold to Dan-Air Services in Jan-75 and re-registered G-BDAT the following month. Dan-Air operated it until Nov-92 when it was sold to ILFC International Lease Finance Corporation.
It was immediately leased to British Air Ferries as G-OBWA. British Air Ferries was renamed British World Airlines in Apr-93 and they bought the aircraft in Oct-94.
It was wet leased to Air Nostrum (Spain) in Feb-98 and returned to British World the following month. The aircraft was retired and stored at Southend, UK in Dec-00.
It was sold to Air Leone (Sierra Leone) as 9L-LDL in May-02 and ferried to Malta still in full British World Airlines livery for maintenance.
Reading between the lines, it wasn't airworthy and Air Leone sold it to Fast Aerospace two months later. It languished untouched at Malta for another 14 years, still in full British World livery until it was finally broken up in Jan-16.
76079, running as 76001 and not cleaned on purpose, approaches Brighouse station with a "Cotton Mill Express" from Manchester Victoria to Blackburn on the 13th December 2008. Given the dire weather, I didn't think it was worth going any further. The Standard 4 did a few Cotton Mill Expresses on it's own around that time, which seems a little surprising now.
One of our visiting cats who we've called Caramel, for obvious reasons. However, even one year on he's still a very small cat and so fast that his alternative name is the "Pocket Rocket".
I'm sure our home is his second home because he definitely makes himself comfortable!!

76079 & 92212 double-head the 15:00 Bury to Ramsbottom at Burrs on the 28th October 2001. Eight Mark 1s are well within the capabilities of a single 9F, so the double heading was purely for show. Nice to see this pair together though.
76079 struggles for adhesion on the slippy rails as it climbs towards Damems with the 09:00 goods from Ingrow to Oxenhope. 13th October 2002. The Pocket Rocket was a rare visitor to the KWVR. I think it only visited a couple of times, so it was especially nice to record it on a goods train, especially in sun.
