A final rail journey for 2 more 455s yesterday saw Rail Operations Group 37884 'Cepheus' working 5Q57 Wimbledon Park Depot Sidings to Derby Litchurch Lane with #SouthWestern 5710 & 5737 in tow. Seen passing Kettering 9E despite long delays on #MML passenger services. #ROG 17/1/26

Morning all. A bitterly cold morning as I recall, as 37408 ‘Loch Rannoch’ traversed the Oban line with the Grangemouth to Connell Ferry oil train. Another service that was lost to road transport shortly after. Hope you all have a great day. #Class37 #Tractor #LargeLogo

Didcot shed on Saturday, its collection of GWR locos just illuminated in the low January sun.

'5.15, train overdue Angels have gone We never talk anymore Forever I will adore you Cold station, all of my life Forever I'm out here forever' - '5.15 The Angels Have Gone' by David Bowie, who died 10 years ago today - 📷 Kings Cross station, London, 1973, taken by Mick Rock

Wizzo at Bristol, properly chuffed with these shots...

Scooped a few GBRf JNAs from Ebay before they become impossible to find again. Prefer the slightly darker blue from the first batch, but I'll take what Im given... #BSMRGUK

Passing Limehouse DLR A quick visual observation outside Limehouse Docklands Light Railway station.

Honoured to receive the Railway Photographic Society's Special Prize for the Young Rail Photographer of the Year at the NRM yesterday. Lovely event and was amazing to walk around the NRM basically empty and see the newly painted 91105.

Some cat photos after they've finally been let out.

58023 makes a grand departure out of Kidderminster Town with the delayed 17:40 service to Hampton Loade during the Severn Valley Railway Spring Diesel Festival.

#OnThisDay 43 years ago Milton Keynes Central opened eclipsing Bletchley as the main station serving the new town (now a city) and becoming the intercity calling point. Later that year Class 310 EMU is seen calling en route to London Euston (Gary Thornton) buff.ly/suDuMIE

Only a phone photo hence the grain and fuzz but do love the shot. Geordie Greep, KOKO Camden - 15th April

Something a little different today…Inside the vehicle, instead of outside! So, we’ve got 5.1 bar in the air brake pipe, the brakes are released, and we’re on our way! #HST #Class43 #PowerCar

Curves & Textures - Lambeth North Photography of a train leaving Lambeth North London Underground station. I love the lights from the train reflecting on the textured curved walls. #railway #photography

Setting up a work laptop and having to look at Win11 in its natural state should come with a free therapy session. Need to quell my immediate instinct to install half a dozen programs and patches to make the UI usable.

Morning all. One of those views you never tired of…When you’d walk through those shuttered barriers at Waterloo and get your first glimpse of the mighty English Electric. Hope you all have a wonderful day. 🙂 #Class50 #Hoover #LondonWaterloo

"White Room has got lots of trains and railway references in it. That's because I was living in Baker Street which is close to Euston, Marylebone and Kings Cross. Those are the stations that are alluded to." - Pete Brown, co-writer of 'White Room' by Cream along with Jack Bruce

60085 thunders through Keighley on 6M31 Hunslet Tilcon to Arcow Quarry.

Few flowers from when the weather wasn't so dreary. Spring finally on its way back and my second favourite things to take photos of have started to appear.

Pricing on Britain’s railways isn’t the biggest problem. In fact, if they was to reduce the price of tickets right now, the biggest problem will be made an even bigger problem! Capacity! Capacity is the biggest problem Britain’s railways currently face!

As I have said before elsewhere, I think the symbol for the new rail body should be Rail Symbol 2—pure and simple—and I think the word ‘Great’ is surplus to requirements; the version below uses carefully adjusted Rail Alphabet 2 SIGN Medium

It's three years already since I was checking over final revisions of the livery drawings before giving the green light for the repaint to begin on our InterCity 225 fleet. For such a simple looking result this was probably some of the most intricate work I've ever done 😅

"Chris was well into his Ferraris but I said 'No, you need to hear a Deltic start up mate. That'll blow a Ferrari away'. They had the noise, the power, the speed, everything." - Ian Naisbitt, drummer on Chris Rea's 1979 album 'Deltics' Happy birthday Chris, who turns 74 today.

Seems like ten minutes ago it was Friday. Where did the weekend go? #ModelTrainShow2025

#ModelTrainShow2025 Second day at #Ottersgrove Layout overview: Nothing has changed since last year, but should start making some change in a few days.

It isn't very often I get the opportunity to photograph two 91s near each other. 91101 and 91111 are both stabled at London King's Cross.

If there’s a better photograph of a Class 50, I have yet to see it; 50025 Invincible at Doncaster Works in 1982 flic.kr/p/3K4tg4 (Dan Augood)

Ok its a long shot, but does anyone have, or knows where I can get a Bachmann DMU headlight diffuser? Knocked them out when removing my 105 cab, found one but can't find the other. Doesnt look bad enough to spend £40 on a spares body for a small bit of plastic... #BSMRGUK

465908 freshly repainted in Network SouthEast livery is seen peeking out of the shed at Wabtec Doncaster Works.

Never not miss the 78 stock

91101 ‘Flying Scotsman’ rolls into platform 6 at its destination with 1N81, London King’s Cross to York. A 30 minute turnaround, and it’ll be on its way back to the capital, with DVT 82225 leading. #Class91 #Electra #York #LNER #FlyingScotsman

One of the greatest line reads of all time. Tim Curry for Command And Conquer, clearly it was a one and done and he could barely stop laughing at the ridiculousness of the line. Perfection

Reverse of yesterday, Old Oak Common - Wembley engine move. Day light and warmer this time

Sporting its rather fetching Railfreight Distribution livery, 37403 ‘Glendarroch’ takes a well earned break at the Depot in Fort William. Always a bit of a favourite this one, great livery and red nameplates. #Class37 #Tractor #RailfreightDistribution #FortWilliam

66787 departing Leeds with some HYAs, love a bit of selective colour. #ShedWatch

Blue skies at Leeds this afternoon, if not rather cold.

91110 rolls into Leeds half an hour late, not broken down at least so I do have a train home. @225group.org.uk

Early start to reverse the 730’s meant I caught a gorgeous sunrise over Harlesden. 92014 at rest in the Cripple siding.

Barbican in black and white. #Brutalism

Finally got access to a soldering iron, which means my 59 headlights are now correct. #BSMRGUK Still dont know how Dapol managed to screw that up.
