  1. Some French railway footage in this clip from a 1967 Yves Montand film called 'Vivre Pour Vivre'...
  2. The Swimming Pool - Michel Legrande, title track from the film soundtrack of 'La Piscine'
  3. Whilst perusing the t'interweb for Maserati Biturbo stuff this week I came across a few interesting bits and bobs...
  4. A genuine 'wow' looking at that - I can almost hear it coming towards me, passing through the carriage washer at Old Oak on its way up to Padd with a rake of empty Mk1s... wrong number for an Old Oak machine of course but you get the picture. Fabulous!
  5. Nothing will really change 'on the ground', it's another Labour pipedream which won't really go anywhere. As a railwayman, a former Labour voter and a member of a trade union which used to be the most militant on the planet I ought to be onboard with it, but I still don't believe a word of it. Starmer is as deluded now as he was the day he became 'leader'. It'll no doubt keep the already converted onside coming up to the election, but I'm not convinced at all that it will improve the railway as a whole, either short or long term.
  6. Photo by the late and much missed John Vaughan : 31 412 trundles along the down ECS line towards Old Oak on 3rd May 1980...
  7. Are You Experienced - The Jimi Hendrix Experience...
  8. Pretty Flamingo - Manfred Mann
  9. I presume this is one of Roy's - my all time favourite Airfix kit... Did he do them all or were other artists involved?

  11. A couple of recent finds while looking for other Italian stuff...

  13. Photo by Russell Ashmore : Tinsley Driver Pat Burns gets on the phone at Sheffield Midland in June 1982...
  14. Peckham Rye station appears in the first episode 'Ringer', with Dennis Waterman chasing a petty villain along the platform. (It's fifty years this month since the pilot episode 'Regan' was shot!)
  15. Original photographer unknown, photo c/o Ian Farnfield : an unidentified 27 at Coalville in the mid to late '60s...
  16. Photographer unknown : D1543 at Brum Snow Hill on the last train to depart this once mighty station, 4th March 1972...
  17. Not mine - some recent finds via pinterest...
  18. Photo by Andy Hoare : 47 121 at Bishops Itchington with 1M11 Padd - New St in March 1975... Photo by Andy Hoare : 47 199 at Bishops Itchington with a northbound empty MGRs from Didcot Power Station in May 1975...
