Some trains running around #Latchmere today!

It's a tad frosty in the land of the third rail rail this morning. This is the fireworks show provided by an icy conductor rail when you are the first train of the day along the line.

Back to Devon for me now, albeit on a pair of Cattle Class sets this time - fittingly 43004, GWR’s oldest power car, pulls in as its youngest one returns to Plymouth. I’m sure I’ll see it again later 😉

701 056 at Vauxhall on 28th October.

Well. Snow. Down south. Already. Yay!!! #Snow

We have a new fundraiser up to help cover the costs of getting charity status from HMRC and the drawings needed to cost up fitting our Paxman 6RP200L into a Class 455 coach to make 210 003. www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/project210 where any donation, big or small, is gratefully accepted.

Break over and I have a 455 set waiting for me on P1 at Waterloo. 455721 & 455720 will form 2D23 down to Guildford via Epsom today.

Ten minutes doing scenery work. And some lovely corporate colour schemes!! #TMRGUK #NetworkSoutheast #modelrailways #modeltrains #BritishRail #Latchmere

Happy 31st Birthday eurostar! On this day in 1994, the first commercial services started. 2 trains a day each way between London and Paris/Brussels back then.

Did you know? The 'Streamlined' SR Type 13 signal box design first appeared at Surbiton in 1936! I'm not sure when Latchmere box was completed... but it was some time later... #BSMRGUK #TMRGUK #modeltrains #scalemodelling #modelrailways #BritishRail #Latchmere

Things were never the same when the class 50s were withdrawn. The 47/7s were a novelty for a while. Then the 159s came. It turns out they did a damn good job- and are still doing it to this day! But. To me, the 50s were king on the Waterloo Exeter trains. #modeltrains #modelrailways #Latchmere

The petroleum fleet. I can’t remember the last time I ran the 37 or the 47… must be time for a tanker train! In fact, the class 37 is pictured on Latchmere v1 (currently we’re on v3!). Yikes…!!😧 #ModelRailway

Repeater signals added. Plinths made. Riveted. Rusted. Pigeoned. #TMRGUK #NetworkSoutheast #modelrailways #modeltrains #BritishRail #Latchmere

Not too long following its conversion to 37904, this wonderful vision of Railfreight passes through Cardiff on its way to Canton. Always my preferred variant of this livery, wasn’t too keen on the red stripe addition that followed. #Class37 #Tractor #Railfreight

It’s only a small detail— right??? #BSMRGUK #TMRGUK #modeltrains #scalemodelling #modelrailways #BritishRail #Latchmere

Had a wonderful guided tour yesterday at the London Transport Museum at Acton. It was so cool to finally get to see inside this amazing warehouse of all things transport in London. #LondonTransport #Museum #GuidedTour

Paddle Steamer PS Ryde may not make the 1700hrs from Yarmouth today. Or tomorrow....... @isleofwightarchive.bsky.social

Damn, I am going to have to give that a try. Very nice weathering job, and I never would have dreamed of using salt.
