The afternoon sun shines through into the wonderful curved train shed that is York station. LNER 801222 arrives with a service bound for London Kings Cross.

So which one are you going to jump on? 37407 ‘Loch Long’ and 37423 ‘Sir Murray Morrison’ stand at Glasgow Queen Street waiting for the off. What a choice to have to make!

Inside the darkness of Eastfield, 37423 ‘Sir Murray Morrison’ receives a bit of TLC. A stalwart of the West Highland Line from the mid 80s through to the mid 90s, a great loco, which thankfully still survives today.

There was always something a bit special about Inverness based locomotives. 37175 Stands at Eastfield in the best livery they ever carried, in my opinion. The loco can still be seen out and about as part of the Colas fleet.

Achnasheen on a dull and wet summer afternoon! 37408 ‘Loch Rannoch’ awaits the token and prepares for departure to Inverness, as a 156 departs for Kyle of Lochalsh.

Liverpool Lime Street, and 47541 ‘The Queen Mother’ awaits to depart with a TransPennine service. I believe it was no longer an Inverness based loco at this point, despite retaining its Scotrail branding and Highland Rail emblem. #Class47 #Duff #LiverpoolLimeStreet #BritishRail
A Sunday morning in Rugby, and rail blue 31434 stands in the sidings. A loco that survived until 1998, subsequently being cut up at Booth’s in Rotherham in 2003.

A recent trip to Holyhead got me thinking about the better days! The location hasn’t changed much, but the trains definitely have! Oh, and the ferry’s don’t come in this far anymore either!

Railfreight Coal sector liveried 26008 and 26002 await their next duty at Eastfield TMD. I always liked these type 2s, the plucky little underdog!

Morning all, so here we go with week of oldies! To start with, a classic Eastfield based Duff. 47562 ‘Sir William Burrell’ stands in the sidings at Carlisle with another member of the 47 family.
