That picture actually inspired an Elvis song....

Too busy working rather than lazing about smoking in the yard. 😀

Plus it's too scared to join the cool boys at the back of the bike engine shed.

It's at the far end of the train of Mk2Ds, sneaky!

Right, I guess it must be hiding away from those bully boy Duffs who've taken over yard.

Was perhaps the inspiration for the Cybermen in Dr Who?

Well it reminded me of that Red Dwarf episode where we saw Kryten's alternative heads on a shelf.

A nice DMU picture almost ruined by that monstrosity at the front...

Doncaster 1978 by Kevin Connolly

It's funny how the front portion says 1990s, but the rear portion says 1970s.

Seeing this picture it struck me that I don't think I've ever seen a picture of a 37 pulling air con coaches before. Was it a common occurrence?

I think this is a Hornby Schools Class engine with some "interesting" weathering. Yours for only £50.

There's some new railway shows on That's TV in the next week. There's a series called Railways: Now And Then with an episode for each region (SR & GWR episodes have already been shown)

 

Railways: Now & Then LMS Monday 29th April 12:10

Railways: Now & Then LNER Wednesday 1st May 12: 10 

Railways: Now & Then British Rail Thursday 2nd May 12:20

 

 

I've just got around to watching the BR episode and it's the best of the lot in my opinion. There's some magnificent footage of the electrified Harton Colliery with one great shot of the shunter riding a wagon being gravity shunted with his foot on the brake. It would give any H&S inspector an aneurysm! There's also footage of the Woodhead line in it's last years, the Metropolitan line with footage of the LT Pannier, Battery locos and the Q Stock. Also featured is the industrial steam at Mountain Ash in the 70s and some S&D footage.
