Bit controversial posting this as.no train involved
This is the back of the old Zetland hotel in Saltburn, that had a small extension line from Saltburn station run into the back of it and it's own private platform. You could step of the train straight into the hotel!

Saltburn still gets the standard announcement saying beware of fast trains passing through.
Before it became a terminus it also had a subway.

The Colas Rail livery is pretty nasty. The old Load Haul livery also used orange (which clashes with the yellow ends) but carried it off better due to the shade, and the huge amount of black.

Rannoch station on the West Highland line this morning. I've just watched the sleeper from London pass, double headed by a 66 and a 73, as well as a 156+153 combo the other way with the new dedicated cycle area, but upload speeds here are too slow to show them to you today. Will post them later.

We've seen it a couple of times, when we've been up there

Visited the Victorian Goldfields Railway which runs on an old branch line of about 20kms.
J class loco just out shopped after an eighteen month overhaul.
The two rolling stock items are claimed to be 140 years old and only get an outing very infrequently due to their age. Those seats are not comfortable!

At Statfold Park and Museum today. Can’t believe I’ve lived in Staffordshire so long and didn’t know about it. Lots of stuff in the roundhouse for Hunslet fans. Two steam lines running and a bonus of a gauge 1 live steam model railway and some (mostly) 4” traction engines, some for sale…

These are the pictures from Rannoch that I couldn't post the other day.
London-Fort William sleeper, double-headed by a 66 and 73.
Mallaig-Glasgow, 156+153 with bike storage area in the latter.

The 66 is for haulage and the 73 is for hotel power, I think. I vaguely remember seeing the sleeper with two 73s instead, although that might not have been the Fort William section. Despite having 2000hp of power, it seems 50/50 whether you'll get a hot shower on the train!
