<p>66722 "Sir Edward Watkin" leads 6V56, 18:32 Burton West Yard - Cardiff Docks away from the second city at Widney Manor. This Scrap Metal service is currently running via Leamington Spa, presumably because of the line through Chepstow being shut. <br />
<br />
Birmingham itself is on the skyline and has been in the news today, playing host to Ozzy Osbourne's funeral courtege.</p>

<p>86 260 Driver Wallace Oakes GC heads 1A25 09.30 Wolverhampton - Euston.<br />
<br />
Built at EE Vulcan Foundry in 03/1966 (E3144, 86048, 86702) it went new to Willesden depot. At privatisation it passed to Virgin Trains and in 2009 to Europhoenix for charter work, finally being unlucky to be exported to Bulgaria in 03/2016.<br />
<br />
Named "Driver Wallace Oakes GC" at Euston Station on 19/02/81 by Ray Buckton, Gen Secy ASLEF; to commemorate the Crewe shed driver, who died on 12/05/65 after he successfully stopped the<br />
10.42 Euston-Carlisle after a blow-back on the footplate<br />
at Winsford.</p>

<br />
Over the years the Class 86 loco's have been plying their trade up and down the UK and their latter days were a colourful affair with many liveries, both pre and post privatisation.<br />
One my all time favourites was the Virgin loco livery which suited them very well.<br />
Some of the fleet was allocated to West Coast services from London - mainly Birmingham services - but they could turn up anywhere really.<br />
One of the West Coast fleet 86247 is seen at Birmingham New St with a service to Wolverhampton on 15th July 2000.<br />
Along side the loco is one of the horse sculptures which adorn the Stour Valley route between Birmingham and Woverhampton.<br />
Erected in 1987, this series of 12 cut out images, called "Iron Horse" by Kevin Atherton, shows horses in various poses and action which relate to their related position along side the railway. Here the horse is sationary or just starting to move.</p>

<p>86 219 Phoenix hauling 1P23 08.10 Euston - Blackpool.<br />
<br />
Built at EE Vulcan Foundry in 12/1965 (E3196) it went new to Willesden depot; withdrawn in 05/1996 and used as a spares source, it was cut up at Easco, Immingham in 05/2002.<br />
<br />
Named "Phoenix" at Willesden depot without ceremony on 06/08/79; a popular historic loco name previously carried by 20 locos from 1830 Liverpool & Manchester 0-2-2 to the 1936 LMS Jubilee 5736. Also the mythical bird who burnt and arose from the ashes every 500 years, a symbol of immortality.</p>

I adore taking low light architectural photos of cities at night. The vibrancy, texture and contrast really makes me happy. The uniqueness of the Selfridges building is uniquely Brum and is the centre piece for the city centre. Over the last 20 years, it has “cemented” itself into the heart of the city. Using a photo I took; I created this piece to reflect the feeling and reflection of the city at night. It will use iridescent powder to reflect the different colours or the surrounding area and creating a different take on the building and atmosphere of the city.</p>

Seen from the no 6 bus top deck on Moor Street Queensway. I'd spotted it in the morning, on arrival, took it later in the afternoon on leaving the city centre for the day.</p>

My bull design was inspired by a good punny name! Looking at various bulldozer models I created a tough, weathered, mechanical bull out of bulldozer parts. Aptly for a robot design I used AI to assist with the design inspiration. The design is in the classic black and yellow of most industrial earth moving machinery with caterpillar tracks and hydraulic pistons as well as dents, rust, oil and mud spatter that also form part of the look.</p>

<p>50 041 Bulwark arrives on 1M49 07.45 Bristol TM - Man Picc.<br />
