No prizes for guessing the location of this picture! 50 006 was actually the first class 50 to be broken up,
although not the first to be withdrawn. The picture was taken on 12 July 1986 and less than 2 years later, this engine had ceased to exist.

31 465 and 47 582 are seen in the late evening of 24 October 1987 at Paddington. This was a 'Network Day' which provided
unlimited travel within the whole Network SouthEast area of BR for just £6. In addition to the bargain price, some special
traction was laid on in certain places such as the Watford to St Albans branch, where 33 102 and a 4TC unit were employed
for part of the day.

This is one of my earliest slides taken in June 1981. I was still at school and was using a second-hand rangefinder
camera at the time. The picture shows 82 001 and 81 014 at the bufferstops at Euston.
