John Vaughan's Diesels in the Duchy has L433 running as a 2-car set at Liskeard in 1981. Also P434 as a 3-car set on the Falmouth branch, which has the flat-topped headcode box of a 117.

There were mixed passenger/parcels trains on the WR Thames Valley services using a 128 DPU running in multiple with a 117 set. The 128 shuttled back and forth on it's own between Paddington and Reading during the day, but ran combined with passenger DMUs in the peak, presumably to save a train path. Not sure of the exact working, but it ran into the sector era in the late 80s with the 128 in Royal Mail livery and the 117 in NSE. Think the practice of a parcels van as tail traffic had ended long before then,

Riverside - Love, Fear and The Time Machine. This is a stunning album.
-
Best strange formation I can remember was the day the WR were short of stock and made up a rake of a 121 "Bubble", two 121 driving trailers and a 128 DPU (Purely for traction purposes) on a Thames Valley suburban working..

Gazpacho - Molok This Norwegian band know how to do dark and spooky.
-
Amorphis - Under the Red Cloud. This record seems to have got stuck in the CD player of late. Big Big Train - English Electric part 1. Trying to persuade Barry Ten of this parish to give this lot a listen. They're the sort of band who'd write a song aoout The Barry Ten.

Amorphis - Under the Red Cloud

Didn't actually get paid for it, though I did get in for free (and had homework afterwards!) One reason I went as a reviewer was a friend of mine (Anne-Marie Helder) was announced as the support act after the show had sold out.
-
I was at that gig as a reviewer and photographer. Stunning show

Vanden Plans - Chronicles Of The Immortals: Netherworld II Rather over-the-top German power-metal

I've always assumed that Farish will be doing the coaches in maroon at some point, but have yet to commit to a date. When first announced they were in blood & custard only, the GWR livery was announced the following year, then in the end they delivered both at the same time.

"Steam on West of England Main Lines" by Peter W Gray Page 34 at Langstone Rock in 1960 - Is the fourth coach (in blood & custard) a Hawksworth or a Collett? Difficult to tell. The three preceding coaches are a maroon Gresley, a chocolate & cream Mk1 and a much older ex-GW vehicle in maroon. Suspect modellers are far more keen on uniform rakes of matching coaches than the prototype ever was.

Wishbone Ash - There's The Rub/Locked In. One of their better albums paired with what has to be one of the blandest things they've done.

The lack of upsweeps was unique to the 121 motor brake seconds. Think even the surviving driving trailers had upsweeps, since they ended up paired with things other than 121 bubbles - at least one was formed with a 101 motor brake to form a 2-car set. Who said DMUs were boring?
