Class50 50046 Ajax comes to a stop at Lapford on 3-9-90.
This is the return working from Barnstaple to Exeter Central. A beautiful evening in rural north Devon. As can be seen on the left the goods yard wa still in use.
Originally mainly used to service the dairy. In later years it was still used for grain, fertiliser and timber and finally succumbed in 1993.
I went to great effort to capture this working as it was a DMU substitute and only ran when required. I must have checked out the working for at least 5 days.
Black and White negative processed by myself. Ilford HP5. I would normally have taken this on Mamiya 645 but my standard lens had decided to stop allowing F stop adjustment. So this is with one of my Olympus OM1's.

I haven't seen too many (if any) shots of sleeper trains operating on SR main line.
Back in 1988, BR started a service from Poole to Glasgow/Edinburgh that incorporated two sleeper coaches (second and third coaches in this rake). Timed to leave Poole at 19:30, the 1M85 was only ever photographable in the late summer months.
This effort was taken at 20:37 on a June night with camera settings of 1/125 @ f1.8 on a 50mm lense. As you can imagine, the image was slightly blurred!
However, AI to the rescue! I can now post an image that has long been in my "unacceptable bin".
47478 was withdrawn from traffic in January 1999 and cut-up at EMR Kingsbury during April 2006. RIP.

As my latest submissions have been black and white I thought I should add a little colour. I am continuing to scan and have now reached nearly 7,500.
LMS Black5 4-6-0 45110 departs Gotherington on the Gloucestershire and Warwickshire Railway on Tuesday 7th July 2026.
The working is the 11.35 Cheltenham Racecourse to Broadway service.
Plans to photograph 34070 Manston on the 10.15 service from Cheltenham did not work out. Despite the roster saying it was working it was replaced by 3850. I believe it is due to return to Swanage shortly.
