General Discussion / Re: OZZYLast post by emjaybee - Yesterday at 11:03:27 AMI never really was into Black Sabbath, or indeed his solo work. I did see him perform as Ozzy supporting someone, possibly AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest. My only memory was of him grubbing around on the stage like some kind of knuckle dragging neanderthal. They did some tunes I quite liked, but were always a bit too dark for me.
However, I respect the influence, the energy & the commitment & its always a shame to see a heavyweight of any sort depart this mortal coil. What has followed him, & others of his era, do nothing for me so I always get a bit melancholy as to the loss of decent talent. The 'man upstairs' is gonna be in for a shock. #13

The photo was taken at a station near Swansea on the way to Cardiff and im not going to spell , pronounce it. Definitely Rule 1 and why not Mick something different. I remember Freightliner trains AC electrics hauled or 47s, but growing up in Crewe 25s, 31s, 40s, 47s could turn up. As for western hauled the links give clues

You learn something new every day. I'd have thought there'd have been some years between Westerns & Freightliners. @emjaybee I could be wrong but I seem to recall the early Freightliners coming through Wolverton in the late 60s/early 70s but, in those days, they were AL electric hauled. I've also seen an EE Type 4 hauling them. Having never seen them in the wild on the Western Region, I thought I'd ask the question as it's one of the trains I'll maybe take to the Leyland show ![]() #15
