Scottish Places: St John's Tower, Ayr, Scotland - 1st Scottish Parliament
Comments welcome! On April 26, 1315, the first Parliament of Scotland was held in Ayr by Robert The Bruce at St.Johns Tower by the sea. Later, during cromwellian times, the town was used as a base and fortress for some of Oliver Cromwell's men. He built a huge wall around part of the town, most of which can still be seen today.

Bristol Temple Meads railway station is the oldest and largest railway station in Bristol. It is an important transport hub for public transport in Bristol, with bus services to various parts of the city and surrounding districts. Bristol's other main-line station, Bristol Parkway, is on the northern outskirts of the Bristol conurbation.
The station opened on 31 August 1840 as the western terminus of the Great Western Railway from London Paddington station. The whole railway including Temple Meads was the first one designed by the British engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel. To accommodate an increasing number of trains the station was expanded in the 1870s by Francis Fox; and again in the 1930s by P E Culverhouse. Brunel's terminus is no longer part of the operational station (now in use as a car park). The historical significance of the station has been noted, and most of the site is Grade 1 listed.
Temple Meads is now owned by Network Rail and is operated under a franchise by First Great Western who provide the majority of trains to London, along with local services and inter-urban routes to destinations such as Cardiff, Southampton, Portsmouth and Weymouth. Long-distance services are provided by CrossCountry to destinations as diverse as Plymouth and Penzance in the South-West of England; Manchester Piccadilly and York in the North; and Edinburgh and Aberdeen in Scotland.

The Class 57 is a re-engineered locomotive, rebuilt by Brush Traction at Loughborough from redundant Class 47 locomotives. The locomotives are fitted with a refurbished EMD engine and a reconditioned alternator, improving reliability and performance. Three variants exist, one for freight and two for passenger operations. At £500,000 it was about one-third the cost of a new build locomotive.
The class has its origins in 1997 when Freightliner ordered an initial six locomotives. In 2000 a prototype locomotive was converted with electric train heating, with a view to obtaining orders from passenger companies.
They are sometimes known as Bodysnatchers, or Zombies to enthusiasts, by virtue of the fact that the shell (body) of the Class 47 has been stripped, rewired and re-engined and as GMs due to them being genetically modified with General Motors equipment, EMD being a General Motors owned company.

The Class 67 locomotives are a class of Bo'Bo' diesel electric mainline locomotives which were built for the English, Welsh and Scottish Railway between 1999 to 2000 by Alstom at Meinfesa in Valencia, Spain with drive components (engine and transmission) from General Motors Diesel. EMD's designation for this locomotive type is JT 42HW-HS.
Thirty locomotives were ordered in a £45million contract split between Alstom and General Motors for use by the English, Welsh and Scottish Railway (EWS) as Class 47 replacements for use on high-speed mail trains and passenger trains. The locomotives were obtained on a 15 year lease from Angel Trains.
The locomotives are able to supply electric head end power for passenger train heating and air-conditioning, and are equipped for buffer and screw coupling and also coupling via a buckeye coupler.
The first locomotive to be delivered was 67003, which arrived in October 1999. Initially plans were for a rapid acceptance into service, but problems with the locomotives being slightly out of loading gauge caused delays. Acceptance trials began in December, and all 30 units had been delivered to the UK by early 2000.

Standard 2MT 78018 on the NVR 'Winter Warmers'! | 07.01.2017
Having been on loan from the Great Central Railway since November 2016, after returning to traffic in October that year, Standard 2MT 78018 ran on the Nene Valley Railway between Wansford and Peterborough, on the line's 'Santa Specials', throughout December up until Christmas, in which was followed by the annual 'Winter Warmers', in Late-December into early January. Alas, since I film regularly at the NVR, and having worked with 78018 a few times on the GCR, I thought i'd pay a visit to catch some shots of the loco on the railway's Mk1's (having been on the World Lit Continentals over the Xmas season).
Locations in this video include Peterborough Nene Valley, Lynch Straight, Castor & Yarwell. Note in some of the shots, the loco bearing the 'The Small Loco Group' headboard. Also note, all shots were taken with permission from the engine crews, and high visibility clothing was worn at all times.

1stMay13 61306 MAYFLOWER Move to Carnforth at Lancaster
Mayflower on route to Carnforth through Lancaster for a loaded test run tomorrow departing Carnforth 11.52 around the usual circle via wennington, Bentham, Settle jct, Hellifield, Clitheroe, Blackburn, Preston and back to Carnforth. London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) Thompson Class B1 No. 61306 is a preserved British steam locomotive. In preservation, it carries the number 1306 and the name Mayflower, complete with LNER Apple Green Livery, though this guise is entirely fictional.
Service
61306 was built in 1948 by the North British Locomotive Company, Works No. 26207. Though built to an LNER design, it was delivered after nationalisation to British Railways (BR).
Initially, 61306 was allocated to Hull Botanic Gardens Depot (shed code 53B, Kingston upon Hull) until June 1959, when it was transferred to nearby Hull Dairycoates Depot (53A), where it remained until June 1967, when it was transferred to Low Moor Depot (56F, Bradford). It was withdrawn in September 1967.
Preservation
1306 Mayflower as preserved.
Close-up photo of smokebox, showing the Nameplate.
61306 was privately purchased for preservation at Steamtown in Carnforth. There it was painted into LNER Apple Green Livery and given the number 1306 and the name Mayflower. 1306 would have been its allocated running number had the LNER not been nationalised (most ex-LNER BR numbers being the LNER 1946 numbers with the addition of 60000), while the name Mayflower came from a scrapped BR-built Thompson B1, numbered 61379.
In 1978, 1306 moved to the Great Central Railway in Leicestershire, where it remained until 1989, when it was taken out of service for a ten-year overhaul. For this it was moved back to Hull Dairycoates but the sale of the site meant that it moved to the Nene Valley Railway, which in 2006 it eventually left - it is now undergoing overhaul at Boden Rail Engineering Ltd, Washwood Heath. It has now been confirmed it will be returning to the mainline as 61306 with BRITISH RAILWAYS on the tender. it will be operated by BARS
1306 is one of two preserved Thompson B1s, the other being LNER-built No. (6)1264
Foxton Locks.mp4
Foxton Locks (grid reference SP691895) are ten canal locks consisting of two staircases each of five locks, located on the Leicester line of the Grand Union Canal about 5 km west of the Leicestershire town of Market Harborough and are named after the nearby village of Foxton. They form the northern terminus of a 20-mile summit level that passes Husbands Bosworth, Crick and ends with the Watford flight. Staircase locks are used where a canal needs to climb a steep hill, and consist of a group of locks where each lock opens directly into the next, that is, where the bottom gates of one lock form the top gates of the next. Foxton Locks are the largest flight of such staircase locks on the English canal system. The Grade II listed locks are a popular tourist attraction and the county council has created a country park at the top. At the bottom, where the junction with the arm to Market Harborough is located, there are two public houses, a shop, trip boat and other facilities. Alongside the locks is the site of the Foxton Inclined Plane, an inclined plane built in 1900 as a solution to various operational restrictions imposed by the lock flight. It was not a commercial success and remained in full-time operation for only ten years. It was dismantled in 1926, but a project to re-create the Plane commenced in the 2000s, since the locks remain a bottleneck for boat traffic.
