    34070 'Manston' really looks the part as it pulls into Harmans Cross station with the 1400hrs Swanage to Norden service - on a very wet 19 August 2015. Next - A diesel hydraulic loco on a UK preserved line.

    The Adelaide bound 'Overland' overnight broad gauge passenger service (including sleepers) from Melbourne at 0700hrs on 10 April 1993. The train is approaching the sleepy hamlet of Callington in South Australia. Today, although now on standard gauge, 'The Overland' is a pale shadow of its former self, operating only twice weekly and its future constantly under threat. Next - a steam locomotive in wintry conditions; not necessarily snow, but obviously winter.

    Trains on the line between Jilin and Changchun faced a climb in either direction to the tunnel at the summit just east of Tumenling. QJ7168 with a Changchun bound freight was around 15 months old when photographed emerging from the tunnel, having almost stalled on the grade inside - 7 April 1988. Next - obviously the logical follow on would be a passenger train exiting a tunnel

    Genesee & Wyoming Australia veteran GM37 first entered service with the Commonwealth Railways in 1966. It was seen a few minutes after sunrise on 3 July 2017 at the crossing loop at Wirrappa, South Australia, while waiting to run around its work train.

    That's as good an inspiration as I've seen to purchase a rake of N-gauge Maunsells in blood and custard and a 4F

    Good to hear. I've got a couple of packs of the coal loads on order.

    Does that mean I get a go In October 2016 a pair of former Victorian Railway C class EMDs run alongside the Goulburn River near Sandy Hollow, New South Wales, with a Southern Shorthaul Railroad loaded grain train. Next - a train running along the seafront with the sea in the back/foreground

    55022 and 55004 at York on 25 May 1981

    Well more modern than the last pic, so should count........September 1972 Happy to keep it going.......so more a modern pic (than this one) of Newcastle

    A nice pair of Bristols ............ Herne Bay, 9 August 2015 LKT991 was a Eastern Coachworks bodies Bristol L6A delivered in March 1950 - it only lasted 11 years in service with M & D. Bristol K6A HK867 lasted considerably longer having been delivered in October 1945 and withdrawn in 1967. However, its original Duple bodywork was replaced by Weymann along the way in 1953.

    A bit soft and a bit grainy, but I'm sure you get the gist........six of the best (Siphons) passing Didcot in May 1977

    A couple of shots of Newcastle, New South Wales in 2012 - subsequently closed at the end of 2015 for reasons too complicated to go into. Next a station with the word 'town' in it

    During the Queen's Jubilee year, 1977, British Rail arranged for the 08.00 Kings Cross to Edinburgh service to carry the name 'The Silver Jubilee', the first run being on 8 June 1977. Not to be outdone, Stratford depot spruced up 47164 for the 08.30 to Norwich service on the same day, seen here at Liverpool Street before departure.

    Ex Southend Corporation no.314 was running a shuttle service between the Dover Transport Museum and the East Kent Railway at Eythorne on Sunday 2 August 2015. 314 is a Leyland Titan PD3/6 with Massey bodywork built in 1958 originally as a low height double decker, subsequently converted for open top operation in 1971. Unless things have changed in the last couple of years, 314 is preserved in the care of Dave Atkins of Classic Omnibus, Folkestone.

    I think it must be wildcard time so here is something close, but no cigar......Chiltern Railways three-car 168/1 class diesel multiple unit 168109 waits to depart London Marylebone with the 1937hrs service to Birmingham Snow Hill on 19 April 2012. Next.......a diesel hauled freight on Southern Region metals prior to privatisation

    Hot off the scanner, a Connex South Central 4-CIG at Clapham Junction in June 2004.

    So talking about the SMA's here's a similar Alexander body, but this time it's on a Leyland Panther chassis (built 1969). Newcastle - September 1972, While across the road...... 1966 built AEC Regent V with MCCW bodywork - GAT817D. In service with Tynemouth - formerly with East Yorkshire Buses.

    I can't remember well that far back other than it would be pretty close to the railway station. It was a day trip to Toton from London and I knew this was around so allocated a few minutes to get a grab shot. Or was it just luck?

    If not seen already, post #127 in this thread I have posted a pic of an SMA. I lived just off Cheam Road, Sutton for a few years and they were a regular sight.

    This is taken from a Kodachrome 64 colour slide scan and then I have played around a bit with it in Photoshop a bit to lighten the shadows and try and improve the dramatic effect. A pair Of China Rail QJ 2-10-2s on a freight near Harbin in March 1988 - definitely best viewed full screen.

    One of the London Country Leyland National's (LN11) hired to Nottingham for a free shopper's service between October 1972 and June/July 1973. It appears it never turned a wheel in LC service being swapped to Hants & Dorset for a King Alfred Metro-Scania in September 1973?

    A 3-car DMU featuring 3 different liveries forms part of a 7-car consist on a Scarborough to Leeds services near York in May 1981. I suppose I should play nice - four different liveries of passenger coach (or MU cars) in the same train.
  24. bingley hall
    I'd almost forgotten I had this...........The EW class were built in the UK by English Electric in 1952 for the New Zealand Government Railways. The seven member class was confined to the 1500v DC network around Wellington for most of its regular working life, with the last example withdrawn in 1988. Next a train under an arched roof

    And a couple from Bombay - October 1978
