    <font color="blue">I thought it was about time I put some pics on here of some British bits and bobs (Well now that Matt has shown me how to anyway!)
    I paid a trip to Ipswich, Suffolk Yesterday to visit mother and caught these whilst waiting for my ride back home.

    Tractor Girl is alive and well :D

    Two FL 57's in one photo! I have not seen one yet - looks like Ipswich is the place to go [​IMG]

    No, Carolyne, 007's name is not a coincidence ;)

    I though 66's were supposed to have clean exhaust emissions :eek:

    Look forward to the Peterborough shots, although I guess there will be several GNER ones :rolleyes:

    Nice shots! [​IMG]

    My parents are moving to Ipswich in the summer, so I think i'll finally get chance to do some railfanning there then!

    Looking forward to the Peterborough ones.

    We have his brother here in Thailand from British Rail Engineering. I don't know which class he is in England but, we nicknamed them "Sprinters" See this picture for comparison.

    Thank you for the pic. SRT still use them in 3-pack(Cab car-Trailer-Cab car) on some route.

    <font color="blue">I got this on the same day as before whilst waiting for my ride to Ipswich. It caught me by surprise whilst I was sitting drinking a cuppa. This explains the odd angle..
