Richard Ward. Diesel locomotive. Depicts the British Rail Blue Pullman used 1960-73. Built by Metropolitan-Cammell; withdrawn 05/1973; all scrapped by 1975. From a card set called Transport through the Ages, Brooke Bond, 1966. #RichardWard #BrookeBond #BluePullman #Pullman
Now, sad man that I am, I await the #BluePullman, and even as I typed, look what showed up! Liveried as"Midland Pullman"! Do I need to wait until Monday for the Sleeper?
And did I mention the Diesel Hydraulic Western that caught me off-guard with Class 47 back-up 'Great Western' in tow?
Historic Blue Pullman Diesel Multiple Unit, epitome of previous era's style, just outside Saltash station, Tamar bridgehead just visible behind white-walled houses. In the foreground, green balcomy railings.
#GoodAfternoon Safely arrived at the #Saltash bolthole. No obligatory balcony photo yet, because I have better! Saw obvious trainspotters out on Tamar Bridge. Just got in, unfamiliar locomotive sound, & now I know: #BluePullman, presumably on excursion! Lovely way to start this #sabbatical section.
