97411 (formerly 45034) awaits its fate at Woodhouse Junction. The big Sulzer would be cut up shortly after at MC Metals in Glasgow in 1992.

Leeds City Station in the 80s, and we are treated to what was a very familiar scene, and soundtrack. The Sulzer throb fills the air as both 47 and 45 tick over awaiting departure.

45069 Pauses in Leeds with a westbound service. The loco was sadly withdrawn in 1986, and met its end at Vic Berry’s in 1988, a mere 27 years old.

TransPennine Express, in a former guise! 45150 Awaits departure from Leeds with a service bound for Scarborough. I wonder if BR ever received noise complaints from local residents when these 139 ton giants rolled in!

The old and new order square up at Manchester Victoria. BRELs class 150/2 Sprinter stands next to 45007. The Peak survived until its withdrawal in 1988, meeting its end at M.C. Metals in Glasgow in 1992.

Morning all, I hope you’re all doing okay. A wintery scene in Leeds City station in the late 1980s today, happy days of bashing these machines. This 45/1 is about to depart for Liverpool Lime Street from the old platform 12.

A locomotive class synonymous with various lines over the years, one which was the Trans Pennine route. That distinctive Sulzer sound filling the air, as 45103 sits idling to itself in Leeds in the 80s. I really miss sights and sounds like this!

Leeds City station on a quiet Sunday morning in the 80s; until this absolute machine rocks up that is! That unmistakable Sulzer sound filling the air. Undoubtedly the class I took for granted at the time, the Peaks were amazing locos.

A celebration of the mighty corporate blue of British Rail on these modernisation era favourites. Also as a huge nod to all those who have posted their wonderful shots from the ELR this weekend.
Hope you all have a great week. 🙂
