#ChopperTuesday D8110 runs round it's rake of coaches at Embsay station on the Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway railway. Interesting thing about this 20 is the tablet catchers on the cab sides. Not something I've seen before.

STOCKPORT: 86414 The impressive collection of nameplates and plaques attached to the side of 86414. Always thought these would look awesome on a rail blue 86. Was there a loco with more adornments running at the time?

Today's #WaybackWednesday find in the loft - just occasionally, the sun shone at Mordor but you had to go to the platform ends to find it. 50012 waits to take over 1V91, the 1320 Manchester Pic - Taunton, 25th September 1982.

One of the final liveries that the class 26 wore was this, the Civil Engineers grey and yellow, or Dutch as it was fondly known. 26026 Stands in the yard at Eastfield TMD. #Class26 #McRat #Dutch #EastfieldTMD #Trainspotting

#ThirtyOneThursday Three views of 31108 last week at the Great Central Railway autumn diesel gala at Rothley, Leicester & Loughborough. The #Skinhead goyle looked amazing in railfreight livery with 3 piece ploughs & sounded even better. A highlight of the #GCRGala24 for me #Pedtastic 6/9/24
