hmrspaul Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 A grab shot of an Australian version stabled at Parkes NSW. I have no idea why it is Elvis, what it was doing - this is quite a rural area.   Paul 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmrspaul Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Thanks to MJI I had a quick Google. My photo is 6 January 2023 so is in the middle of the festival. Details of train https://www.parkeselvisfestival.com.au/plan-your-visit/getting-here/train-2/elvis-express/  I couldn't see any explanation of why this festival has been held here for 30 years https://www.parkeselvisfestival.com.au/ but obviously a big thing. Good job we didn't try and park the camper van overnight here. And it really is a grab, one of the occasions I wasn't driving and simply took a series of shots as we drove over the ungated crossing. But then looking at the timetable seeing a train here is an event in itself.  Paul 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously also seen on a C5 thingy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben B Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023  One of the most out-of-the-ordinary trains I think to run on the Worth Valley, but I loved it :) Prototype HST climbs out of Keighley on a dreary day in 2019. Had a ride on it later in the weekend, it was terrific!   ...and later on the same visit, in a shot I previously posted in the 'Prototype for Everything' topic ;)  11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWJ Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) An assortment of my amateur photos, in case they are of interest to someone...  Grand Central 43084 at Colton Junction on 23rd February 2009.  43055 lurks in the sidings at Derby on 29th November 2004.  43007 sporting the then-new Midland Mainline livery of ocean blue, but with the serif lettering and deer logo of the previous teal livery. Taken on 10th September 2009.  A particularly enthusiastic wave from the driver of 43123 near Edale on 10th September 2004. Midland Mainline was operating their 'Project Rio' service from St Pancras to Manchester while the WCML was undergoing its lengthy and expensive upgrade.  Prototype power car 41001 cosmetically restored at the National Railway Museum, 12th February 2009.  43321 pulls into Sheffield with a southbound CrossCountry service on 8th March 2009.  43048 'TBC Miller MBE' at Sheffield on 27th June 2008 when the Stagecoach livery was still new.  Cheers,  Will Edited March 5, 2023 by CWJ Adding a missing caption. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
