Hello again! I have decided to start another gallery showing some of my British photos taken over the years in locations other than the Fens. It's my intention to limit these pictures to one livery example from each class but this may not happen! I do tend to get a bit carried away!
I knew this would happen! I have decided to try and put pictures on, elsewhere than the Fens, of each Class 56, 58 and 60 that I have seen, in each livery carried, if possible.
20:02:07 I have just bought a slide scanner and have 2641 slides to scan and add. Many are elsewhere than the Fens and I am doing them just at random. It will take me years, I hope. Checkout this site for the first ones, Rugby in July 1986. Some are none too sharp but I was using 65ASA Perutz on an MTL 4 in those days - loads of 1//125th! |

I am a 56 year old retired schoolteacher, still almost sane, who has never grown up and quite pleased about it too. I have been interested in railways for at least 49 of those years. I used to love UK railways but what's to love anymore? I do still photograph in this country, mainly in my own locality, but I do find endless parades of Yings a little depressing.

| 1 | 56 125 leads 56 099, 56 078 and 56 066 south on the Thornaby - Ipswich loco convoy. | CLASS 56 | (2) |
| 2 | Spotted in passing Slade Green, something about EMU 5740 doesn't look quite right! | EMU | (2) |
| 3 | 56 057 in Construction Sector livery, is on 6E84 Middleton Towers - Monk Bretton at Downham Market a week before energisation of the Kings Lynn line. | CLASS 56 | (1) |
| 4 | 89 001, with 43 123 as backup, worled commuter trains from Peterborough to Kings Cross whilst on test. | CLASS 89 | (1) |
| 5 | 91 008 hurtles through Huntingdon with a down express. | CLASS 91 | (1) |
| 6 | 91 007 heads south, flat-end first, with a test train at Huntingdon | CLASS 91 | (1) |
| 7 | 56 017 and 56 075 would seem to ample power for the Northfleet - Toton MGE empties at Wellingborough. | CLASS 56 | (1) |
| 8 | 45 107 heads south past Finedon Road Box engine-and-brake. | CLASS 45 | (1) |
| 9 | Although this purports to be a picture of 56 075, it's a better view of the extent of Toton Yard in the mid 1980's, Depot on my right. | CLASS 56 | (1) |
| 10 | I remember that I once got round Knottingley Depot and this must have been the day - 56 081, with red buffer beams, on depot. | CLASS 56 | (1) |
| 11 | Stamford Town must be one of the prettiest stations in Britain. I'm standing on the trackbed of the Seaton Junction bay. | MISCELLANEOUS | (1) |
| 12 | 56 044 heads a rake of empty MGR wagons southwards through Doncaster Station. | CLASS 56 | (1) |
| 13 | 56 129 winds its way past Tees Yard with 6G41 Redcar - Scunthorpe coke. | CLASS 56 | (1) |
| 14 | 56 077 arrives in Tees Yard with a lightly loaded 6E62 Carlisle - Tees Dock. | CLASS 56 | (1) |
| 15 | 91 014 runs north flat-end-first through Werrington on a northbound GNER service. In summer 1999, this was a common sight, due to failed air conditioner units. | CLASS 91 | (1) |
| 16 | RHDR diesel no.14 waits for us to pass in the loop at Dymchurch. | NARROW GAUGE/MINIATURE | (1) |
| 17 | D9000 passes Werrington on the northbound 'Flying Scotsman', a VSOE Special from Stevenage. | CLASS 55 | (1) |
| 18 | 91 002 is propelling this southbound test train through Peterborough. This loco was test loco for quite a while. | CLASS 91 | (1) |
| 19 | 91 004 is passing Walton with a down test train including test coach 'Prometheus'. | CLASS 91 | (1) |
| 20 | 59 004, in original Yeoman livery, heads 7O55 Acton - Crawley stone hoppers south through Kensington Olympia. | CLASS 59 | (1) |
| 21 | Rescued from obscurity by the chronic GNER power shortage, 89 001 heads north through Huntingdon. | CLASS 89 | (1) |
| 22 | 89 001 is bound for Bradford from King Cross at Marholm. It was so unreliable that catching it at all was quite a feat. | CLASS 89 | (1) |
| 23 | 89 001 gets up to line speed after its Peterborough stop on the afternoon Kings Cross - Bradford train, at Marholm. | CLASS 89 | (1) |
| 24 | D9000 approaches Ipswich to stop on the 1105 from Norwich. | CLASS 55 | (1) |
| 25 | 86 901 trails 86 902 as they head north at Rugby. Both had just been repainted and 902's paintjob looked as though I had done it! | CLASS 86 | (1) |
