To keep things moving along, here are a few shots taken at the Stockwell Garage open day, back on 21 June 2014.
Under the magnificent arched concrete roof at Stockwell garage in South London preserved Leyland double-decker RTL139 is taking a spell from giving short trips as part of the open day.A bit like the old days - a nice line up of Routemasters - RM1063, RM349, RML898.RTL139 heading down Lansdowne Way past the garage (out of sight to the right) while working a free tourist sightseeing circuit for punters.- 20

For 20 years the Victorian C class were synonymous with freight operations on the Melbourne to Adelaide interstate corridor. Made redundant in 1997 they were placed in storage for several years before being picked up by a private operator, and most of the class of 10 were refurbished and upgraded. While there have been occasional appearances on their old stomping ground, most noticeably of un-refurbished C501, these appearances were sporadic and usually limited to single units. So n one of the most amazing motive power comebacks, after a twenty year absence from the corridor in any significant numbers four were lashed up last week to haul a train carrying feed grain from Tailem Bend in South Australia to drought affected areas of New South Wales - 30 October 2018.

Was out and about in Sydney over the last few days and travelled a little around the suburbs on Sydney Trains.........
A trip on the Sydney Trains backwater which is the Clyde to Carlingford line sees an ageing S-set waiting to depart Clyde for Carlingford. The line is likely to be converted at some stage in the future to light rail and the last of the S-sets are in the process of replacement.
Four-car S122 comes of the single line at Rosehill with a Carlingford working\
Two S-sets approach Clyde with a Leppington to Sydney working
The classic V-sets still provide a number of longer distance interurban, or intercity, services such as V40 on a Sydney to Katoomba service passing Clyde
A Sydney bound A-set passes Concord West

FYI tomorrow is open day at the Canvey bus museum. There is a free vintage bus service to the museum from South Benfleet station and to and from the rally field.
The few pictures I've seen suggest the weather was a bit disappointing yesterday. I was lucky to be able to attend the event three years ago on 11 October 2015, when the sun did attempt to make an appearance and some nice shots were to be had.

Copped D401 at Lostock Hall in April 1968 along with about half a dozen kettles in steam.

It's early morning Down Under and I'm waking up and having to pinch myself to make sure it's not all just a dream.
Absolutely fantastic stuff with the Cemflo, 128 and VEA. More of my money coming your way

I don't suppose there's any likelihood of the BG in blue at some stage in the future?

Is that a maroon coach at 1:14?
Slow it down and it's DMU green.

I have The Molasses three pack on order too. No invoice sent yet. I expect they are still plodding through the orders.
In another place it was mentioned they are up to orders placed in January 2017. Mine were February and Septmber 2017 so hopefully will hear something in the next few weeks.
As a general response - if people want all their emails replied in a timely manner, timely despatch of the product, and the company filing their returns on time (see other thread) then expect to pay double for future products.

There's a good version on the Dead's triple live album recorded I think in the Concertgeboeuw in the Netherlands a few years later. Sadly I no longer have the album - it was acquired jointly with another lad in settlement of some schoolboy debt, and I lost touch with the co-owner, as you do.
I only found out the other day that the original was written by Canadian folk singer Bonnie Dobson and then later modified by Tim Rose. My favourite version is with Rod Stewart on vocals off the Jeff Beck 'Truth' album. I did see Tim Rose perform it live in 1975 at, most appropriately, the Camden Roundhouse.
BTW Hattons have put a page up on the 50th anniversary - they should have consulted with a few of the posters on this thread as they have totally stuffed up the events for 4 August.

Here's a handful taken last year in Utica, NY, of the NYS&W operation there that switches local industries and makes its way along Schuyler St for a short part of its journey.
The weather was a bit iffy and I was planning to have a lie in when I got a text message form the engineer telling me he was just signing on for the job. These pics are on the return run back to Utica and include GP40 3030 shunting the FX Matt Brewery, makers of Utica Club & Saranac Ale.
