    As my photographic skills improved so did the quality control on what was acceptable for the collection. Those transparencies that failed the quality control were generally consigned to the waste paper bin. However a few survived and with the technology now available a passable image can be made from some of these. I have been experimenting with a further batch of transparencies and this collection contains four class 08 locomotives from the 1970’s that have been from a photographic point of view “reinstated to traffic from the scrap line”. Feedback and comments welcome

To make this collection up to my normal four I have also included is a class 04 from 1979. Feedback and comments welcome
