A product of the English Electric Vulcan Foundary, D6986 was delivered in June 1965. TOPS classification as a 37/0 saw it renumbered to 37286 at the start of 1973. Refurbishment and the fitting of train heating completed in 1985 saw it emerge as 37404 in large logo blue. In January 1986 it was named 'Ben Cruachan' and re-painting to InterCity Mainline livery as illustrated was completed mid-1989. After 33 years and 8 months in service, withdrawal came in February 1999 and the locomotive was scrapped at C F Booth, Rotherham 3 years later.

Ikoflex w/ Neopan Acros 100 [rescan]
It was late in January. I had just finished making a delivery to Kooper's - the last run I had to do and I wanted to get out with my recently purchased Ikoflex before the sun sank.
Fells Point is cold in the Winter. Lots of people still come but they stick in tighter groups that make the population feel sparse. There are lots of people indoors. Doors and windows into restaurants look like they lead somewhere else, like you could step out of winter for an hour and have a drink.
On the end of the pier you may not be alone but with the sharp wind to your face and the gray waves, the cold metallic and dimpled surface of the token telescope reflects the last light of the dipping sun and its glassy eyes look like they could show you any other desolate place on Earth.

"J D HANCNCK II FEB 24, 1970 SON"
When I was three years old my parents went to Chicago to visit one of my dad's air force buddies. My dad brought back this personalized token from a museum there. It was certainly not his first gift to me, but nevertheless I think of it as something I have "always" had.
The other side of the token reads, "Museum Science Industry."
The misspelling of our last name is amusing, given what a careful person my dad normally is.
This is one of many curious items collected in JD's House of Miscellany.
The Dean Forest Railway held their Diesel Gala during the weekend of 15 to 17 September 2017 and I was able to make a brief visit on the first day. The lure was to see and photograph the visiting Clayton Type 1, but I also have an affinity with Class 31s, and the EWS livery of 31466 looks quite striking. The 31 has slowed to hand the token over whilst working the 14.00 Lydney Junction to Parkend and has but a few yards to reach its destination.
Woke up early to take the image, edited the image...forgot to post the image. So here it is, for the sake of posterity and workflow completion. Sunrise as it breaks through the treeline this Cold November Morning.
To all my dear Flickr Friends,
For always supporting me and my photographic efforts.
Thank you all once again.

Sikh Token from the early 1800s Maharaja Ranjit singh's period. The coin denote the figure as Guru Gobind Singh (Gobindas). And in the reverse is the Mool Mantar up to "Nanak Hosi Bee Such" all inscriped in laarri vaarr Gurmuki script.
United States, Six Seated Liberty Dimes, 1882-1884. This brooch (a pin made of more than one love token is called a brooch) connects six dimes with jump rings to each other and a precast jeweler’s bar pin back. On each coin is a distinct hammered and engraved pattern that surrounds an engraved name. The complete field of each coin is filled with geometric, floral, curvy, and straight marks. Although the pieces are all linked together, the design on each token is one-of-a-kind.
Rainford Junctions signalman receives the token, for the single line section to Kirkby, from the driver of 142 051 as it draws towards Rainford station working 2J62 to Blackburn.
