37219 Hethersett 30/03/17 - 37219 hurries past Hethersett as it travels towards Norwich. I had hoped to catch this earlier in the day but it left over 200 minutes late. By this stage of the day, the sun had vanished behind some heavy dark clouds. by Ryan Hayward, on Flickr 37175 Hethersett 30/03/17 - 37175 brings up the rear of 1Q98. After arriving at Norwich, the test train will run to both Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft overnight. by Ryan Hayward, on Flickr Passing Hethersett, between Wymondham and Trowse Jn, Norwich.

1Q98 looks like it fancies an extended break at Cambridge today....

I didn't see anyone out but apparently there were 10 or so people at Brundall Gardens for the 1036 37's

Nope, got the 1005 and 1036 at Whitlingham Park and then 1057 and 1117 at Brundall Gardens. Went home after that but probably should have stayed out considering the weather conditions.

Ta, I will give it a try in the spring.

Is the photo of 66111 on 6M43 taken from the foot crossing between Top Common bridge and Slutshole Lane Dave?

Great idea Dave, more than happy to help out with my photos from 1999-2005 and then from 2015 until the present day. First up are a few photos of different formations during 2015 and 2016. First up is the PGA rake, which was the norm for the 1990's up until 2016 in a variety of liveries Note the different height bodies and debranding on some wagons with a large black rectangle applied. 66193 Attleborough 20/02/15 by Ryan Hayward, on Flickr 66117 Eccles Wood 30/03/15 by Ryan Hayward, on Flickr 66040 Hethersett 17/04/15 by Ryan Hayward, on Flickr During 2015, rakes began to become a mix of old PGA's and freshly repainted HKA's (I think). The quantities of each varied from a couple of PGA or HKA's through to a 50/50 split. I never managed to photograph a whole rake of just HKA's, maybe Dave managed to. The HKA's were not a particularity permanent fixture, lasting only few months during the summer of 2015. 66156 Browick Road, Wymondham 28/07/15 by Ryan Hayward, on Flickr 66149 Besthorpe 29/06/15 by Ryan Hayward, on Flickr 66075 Ketteringham 27/07/15 by Ryan Hayward, on Flickr 66169 Spooner Row 06/07/15 by Ryan Hayward, on Flickr And the new arrivals in 2016, the very grey JNA or HOA wagons that started in April of this year. 66067 Hethersett 20/04/16 by Ryan Hayward, on Flickr 66127 Hethersett 08/06/15 by Ryan Hayward, on Flickr 66019 Hethersett 06/06/16 by Ryan Hayward, on Flickr

I have a loads of photos of the Trowse Redland train from the present day going back to 1999. Early photos are not ideal but show a variety of loco's and wagons. https://flic.kr/p/FHbfSy https://flic.kr/p/JM3QGF https://flic.kr/p/M9efRw Let me know if you need anything else.

Today brought another train to Eccles Road, 66147 was in charge of the 15 MMA wagons as it arrived at 0713. Comparison shot against my first photo at Eccles Road some 16 years ago, 60099 powering the Mountsorrel to Trowse aggregates service which still runs today.

11th May - 66616 https://flic.kr/p/G9mkW9 13th May - 66614 https://flic.kr/p/H38EsD

Instead of leaving around lunchtime back to Dowlow or Toton, the empty working was booked to head for Middletons Tower during the night on Saturday morning. This allowed me a rare opportunity to capture 66060 and some very bright MMA wagons parked up in the sidings just off the mainline. The line runs alongside a popular dog walkers path to the station, meaning I could spend some photographing the train and wagons in detail. 66060 Eccles Road 20/05/16 - 66060 rests at Eccles Road siding awaiting it's departure to Middleton Towers on 20/05/16. The GM loco had arrived from Dowlow earlier in the day. Note the very bright and fresh MMA box wagons, a first to Eccles Road. by Ryan Hayward, on Flickr

Shame I missed out this week Dave. I don't think my private messages have reached you this week either.

Shock! A photo from Eccles Road that isn't Dave's. 66053 working the 6M58 1605 Norwich to Peak Forest on Wednesday. https://flic.kr/p/CPFVgW

Still unloaded at Norwich.
