Lads, do you mind? I might get a serious attack of anoraknaphobia.

I have just seen Tornado steaming into Middlesbrough Station. It was actually pushing the carriages as it came to a halt briefly on Albert Bridge before heading off towards Darlington a couple of minutes later.
Complete fluke I was passing at the time.

Thames-Clyde Express at Skipton.
Still with "British Railways" crest on Mk 1 coaching stock.
Looks like the boggies were still in London Midland Region Maroon [Crimson Lake] livery.
And passing through Dent [note different headcode]:
"Thames - Clyde" in its final days as Nottingham - Glasgow.
512 Brush 4`s were built at the Brush - Falcon Works in Loughborough.
The American owners announced this year that the factory will close before Christmas - signalling the end of railway engineering in the town - which dates back to 1865.
More of the Thames-Clyde [London St Pancras - Glasgow St Enoch] Express.
A "Crompton" [BR Class 44] hauling the Thames Clyde with the 1S 68 headcode.
It must have been 1959 or early 60s as the train is carrying the original headboard.
Looks like D10 "Tryfan"
Peak`s werent elegant engines like the Deltics - they were work-horses.
It was a rare sight seeing Peaks hauling Mk 2 or Mk 3
coaches.
Note pre-nationalisation coaching stock still in use in the early 1960s.
Carlisle.

Just spent my lunch hour googling split headcodes and classes of diesel locos.

Absolutely loved the Peaks back in the day, they looked stern and sad though!

I remember back in the early / mid 80s there was a freight train that came through Thornaby just after 3pm weekdays that was more often than not hauled by either a class 45 or 46. I often popped down just to see this engine - never knew where it was coming from or going to though!
