Agree and an excellent Handbook (fortunately still have mine though bit grubby) Interesting too the NE wagons are clearly labelled return to Singer. Number of Austerity 0-6-0 were not constructed by Barclay Grant Ritchie also constructed & one preserved. Burntisland Aluminium Works had a Peckett

Plan C on circuitous way home. Stopped off at Goxhill (remarkably intact?) & caught 66 078 working on way home at my usual haunt (though Network Rail) seems to to have I/D crisis -

After 2Q30 according to real-time trains. Appears got to Hexthorpe Junction & next report was at Doncaster ie avoided a scenic trip to Barton & yours truly. Ended up Plan B at Thornton Abbey -

Had jaunt to Hull, not helped by issues on M180 today it seems. Excuse for 15 minutes at Barnetby. The Northern service heading back via Brigg -

Interesting day: Started chauffeuring wife to Orthopaedic Clinic at Lincoln County Hospital, quick lunch at Doddington Hall (jolly nice) & a detour on way home to a couple of lesser visited spots. Hard to imagine there was a lot of Iron Ore & Chalk mining in the past fairly close by. Moortown Station today & adjacent minor road level crossing. -

Visitors from Derby RTC today. More than a tad wet & didn’t hang around for reversal. Some more hardy souls on platform did -

Something different today. Went with mate to Mathewsons of Bangers & Cash fame to view Aston Martin DB 9 pre auction. Lots of lovely items to have a “punt” at even found another Z3 to add, but been advised have too many toys already. Had a great few hours & spotted this in the “small” part of sale. Unfortunately no provenance so won’t touch with barge pole. Yorkshire Wolds Railway closed so viewed as passing. The diesel under restoration I had ride on when cement works existed in Melton. Posted images but lost in server crash. -
Dave’s Railpics covers the area & some special workings as I recall. Think some on my thread (particularly the signal boxes) but may have be lost in the server crash.

Nothing too exciting. In town on Sunday & happened on this. Generally EMR services are 2 coaches but changes on Sunday only. -

Next quick circuit: back to Barnetby & as quiet back off to Brigg which is not the most scenic venue in the world I’m afraid. Engineering working was unexpected bonus as running very very late. -

Currently Keadby Canal Bridge is under maintenance/repair so some services diverted by Brigg. Visited 3 sites today and images attached Firstly Kettleby LC on single section between Brigg & Wragby
