#purpletrain

A Transport Tuesday throwback to a double dose of purple train - but not on the Elizabeth Line! Southern Railway built & British Railways rebuilt West Country class 34027 Taw Valley running as No 70 Queen Elizabeth II for the Platinum Jubilee is seen during the Severn Valley Railway's Autumn Steam Gala backing down onto its train of ex-GWR carriages as a West Midlands Railway class 172/3 accelarates out of Kiddminster Town station. As I write this post, Taw Valley is currently being given another experimental livery in the form of the Southern Railway's MOD wartime livery, which, although authentic, was never actually carried by the locomotive during its working life. So that should be an interesting one to capture, especially as I missed seeing Sir Nigel Gresley in its wartime black livery. #TransportTuesday #TravelTuesday #PurpleTrain #SteamTrainsOfGreatBritain #ukrailscene #gb_railfeatures #trb_express #SevernValleyRailway #railways_of_our_world #railfeaturesuk #WestMidlandsRailway #QueenElizabethII #steamlocomotive #uk_railscene #BritishRailways #heritagerailway #class172 #turbostar #WestMidlandsTrains #PastAndPresent #TraditionalistTuesday (at Kidderminster - Uk) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm-H1HPIS2H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

1 colour build! This is the final 1 colour build in my series, built all in dark purple, which is one of my favourite Lego colours. I've called this one Purple Train! Hope you've enjoyed the 1 colour builds, I'll put them all together to show them all in 1 mosaic 💜 #onecolourbuild #purple #purpletrain #legomoc #moc #lego #afol #allenafol #legophotography #projectcomplete #legolove #legolife #masterbuilder #legomasters (at Compstall) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2AOXAmJZqK/?igshid=motr38tf7o9q

Sydney Trains, like all metropolitan passenger railways, have to design their mechanical ventilation grilles for the very worst punishment that commuters can dish out. This one looks pretty bombproof; it’s not meant to cause any sorrow / or meant to cause you any pain...

I'll be there in spirit. 💜🎵💜 @sourbklyn_og I hope you can go! Regrann from @questlove - 2nite at 8pm: a rare all 5 hour @Prince set at @BrooklynBowl from me. If he played on it, sang on it, wrote it, produced it, recorded it, rehearsed it —released or unreleased it? Boom. #PurpleTrain is going down. Still don’t play his songs much any more, so now would be a good time to hear and celebrate the purple music. #PrinceRogersNelson #PaiselyPark #Prince - #regrann
