Lovely shots. That quadruple header must have been good to see and hear!

[MADPYRO]

Can't wait for that sort of weather to show up again...

Ooooooh

Just imagine all the lovely clag if they’d opened the taps

All the times I’ve been past Hubbert’s Bridge on my way to CGY over the years and never seen a 50 or a 56

Thanks for posting

Great to see some hardcore diesel action

Brings back great old memories of sitting at the end of Reading station as a 12/13 year old watching as the Westerns, Warships, Hymeks and Brush Type 4s went through. We would always ask the driver if we could have a look in the cab and most usually obliged. It was only a year after this that I discovered aircraft.

Nice images in some great light! I also think the Fifties looked best in rail blue- Network South East made them look like a fairground attraction ! Like Graham I too have fond memories of Western Region hydraulics being a west country boy and the final years of steam mainly on the Somerset and Dorset line.

Snotvac!

I can remember my first sighting of an NSE liveried 50 on Oxford depot on my way to work, it was the first version of the livery which was awful, straghtening the lines didn't make much difference. I can however claim to have worked on all 50 back in the day.

I can’t believe I had to look through so many photos before hitting the class 37, but she’s a lovely photo when she finally came. Spent many an afternoon in my youth watching the Cambridge line 37,s passing Sandy Alley junction on their way to Liverpool Street, giving the driver a wave and getting a two tone salute in return.

Another excellent selection, in various liveries, must say the 37 is really nice.

[Blue Diamond]

A nice selection there.

Agreed, 37025 does look good!
