It’s a beautiful spring day in Basingstoke as #Freightliner #Class66 553 pauses for a crew change in the station. #TrainPorn #trainsofinstagram #britishrail #railway #instatrain #ukrailways #railwayphotography #train_nerds #trainsstagram #kings_alltags #eisenbahnfotografie #train_chasers #eisenbahnbilder #railways_de #eisenbahnfieber #trainphotographics #ukrailscene #tpeuk #splendid_transport #seruntulan #ukrenthusiasts #trains_gb #trainspottingpictures https://www.instagram.com/p/B9q_5Dxncd3/?igshid=hgj03lz42mxn

So long Leon Redbone, I liked you very much. I went to see you perform in the tiny Welsh town of Brecon in the early 90s, so brilliant and so incongruous; a jazz musician playing tin pan ally tunes born in Cyprus. I have your albums and I’ve found myself singing the tunes to myself often. Thank you, and you always wore the moustache better than Frank Zappa. #leonredbone #frankzappa #tinpanalley #ragtime #jazz #jazzguitar #panamahat #moustache #relax #britishrail #obituary #johnnycarson #nbc #saturdaynightlive #zooeydeschanel #babyitscoldoutside @zooeydeschanel #vaudeville #frostythesnowman #mrbelvedere #harryandthehendersons @budweiser #kenlration #onthetrack #champagnecharlie #flyinghome #warnerbros @warnerbrosentertainment #tinpanalley @visitbreconbeacons #breconjazzfestival #wales @visitwales #1990s https://www.instagram.com/p/ByGeeOUnIFu/?igshid=5g8lwlh6j20y

We've just gotten in this rather handsome WW1 era sterling silver cigarette case. It was given as a mark of esteem to a colleague of the Great Northern Railway in 1917. Made from solid silver by Henry Williamson Ltd silversmiths and hallmarked for Birmingham, 1916. The case has a sprung hinge and strong firm clasp. It measures 65 x 85mm and is in good condition. $260 #silverbox #solidsilver #sterlingsilver #cigarettes #cigarettecase #1916 #greatnorthernrailway #brisbaneantiques #smoking #britishrail (at The Antique Guild)

For anyone who, like me, is fascinated by changes in design styles in the post-war years, this book has much to offer. #britishrail #railways #design #designhistory #typography #industrialdesign #trains #locomotives #publicart #signs #signage #station #br

Now that's what I call vintage. #britishrail #1980s (at Arley railway station)
