Ah, good, one I can enter this week

 

[generalvegitable]

cool i have a good one for this one

 

[mumrar]

Glad to see I may have chosen a less controversial topic this week. I'm expecting lots of entries with domination by 86, 87 and 90s. Mostly I look forward to pleasant surprises too, good luck everyone

 

[generalvegitable]

i was planning to enter a Eurostar (well it is AC electric and does at least look like a loco) but in-case it gets rejected i didn't

 

[90019]

Almost certainly be a 90 or 91 from me, as it's all I get here. But we shall see, I have a day off tomorrow, so I think a trip out with the new camera is called for

I think the only one title that won't be at all controversial here would be "Trains of any type"

 

[ladysue]

Great.Thanks for choosing that one. We can all enter.

Well, they are closed unit formations so they wouldn't count. Nor will Javelin or Pendo or other fixed formation non-flexible trains. Mine will probably be an 87, but I'll scour round to make sure first

I wouldn't say everyone can enter really, Overhead Wires are about 5 hours on the train from me so it is quite hard to get a picture of an AC locomotive.

that criteria would count my entry out, class 91's are in a fixed formation

 

[Ferret]

No they aren't - 91s get swapped off the Mk4 sets regularly!!! I'm sure entering a 91 will be fine!

 

[Jordy]

91s are fine!

 

[Techniquest]

Hmm, an interesting choice mumrar, I expect my entry will be an 87 too but I have yet to scour through my photos (a job to do after tea).

Looking forward to seeing the entries too! Especially since I got a whopping 3 votes (a new personal best!) last week!

 

[Phoenix]

Yes Mumrar!! nice choice I will be giving this one my all!!

 

[RS]

Excellent, have an image for this.

Isnt there some 3rd rail on the Southern? I may be wrong but is that nearer to you? Sorry if not. Its a shame when people cant enter.

Third rail is DC .

 

[ladysue]

Third rail is DC .

Oh Sorry. Not very good on the technical stuff

 

[TEW]

I have some photos but they are only rubbish platform shots, never really go up country and when I do it is only bashing.

Removed .

TBH, I'm not much different. I've no fancy lineside shots in full sun or whatever, most of my photos were of the "grab before it's gone" variety. Found a brilliant one at Manchester but some spotter's elbow was in the frame

Harder to find a winner than I thought here, but I've not gone through my Photobucket collections yet...

 

[Daimler]

Ah! I've got one to enter - will be my first attempt...

 

[Techniquest]

Almost forgot to enter my selection, so made a rushed decision in the end. Now uploaded, can't wait to see what other people have entered!

 

[90019]

Uploaded mine now.
It's not great, but it's the best I can find.
And you'll probably be able guess which one it is
