Another bunch of engineers trains through Sandbach station today from Northwich and the first was 66732 (GBRf The First Decade 1999-2009 John Smith - MD) on 6G50 1100 Northwich East Junction to Bescot Up Engineers Sidings with Jim at the controls.

I'm usually in another world thinking about other things, usually wishing it was friday and wondering where i was heading off for my overnight walk.

I knew I would catch you working through Sandbach one day. Mathew

Here's 8 with proper loco's

Here is 66305 after DRS had taken over 301 to 305, I only ever saw 66304 on a coal train passing through willington. Be nice to have a limited edition.

Electric Nukes

Mix the Bachmann ones with the new.

I may need to order a few to re-create this as I was at Crewe station when 8 of them were to transfer from W H Davis to Crewe Gresty Bridge. 07-02-2019 37407 and 37403 hauling 11-70 9229 018-0, 019-8, 023-0, 024-8, 025-5, 026-3, 028-9, 030-5.

Here is a rake of 16 heading up to Corrour behind 66738. 01-04-2019. You heard it for a good 3 minutes before you saw it coming as it had a standing start at Tulloch due to the Caledonian sleeper had passed to Fort William behind a single 73. Mathew

No era to be honest, I just like a steel train to have a 60 or a 56 on it or stone train to have a 60 hauling it. A friend does have the saying, it's my layout and I'll run whatever I want.

Can I be the odd one out in saying that I have 17 Loco's and not 1 loco is a class 66. I have 2 Class 08, 5 class 37, 4 Class 56, 1 Class 60, 6 Class 68 and on order are 1 Class 92 I don't find the 66 appealing whereas the 56 and 60 have more layout appeal. Mathew

Just had a play with my 2 JSA open wagon, Smooth running, perfect in every way, Just had to order another 3 packs and hope they arrive by the week-end. They will look great behind a DB60 or a industrial shunter in a plank layout. I don't know if I want to add the white clamp bars or not.

I need to sell the wife and kids to pay for all of these new wagons ! ! ! Or do more work and overtime. Aaaaaarrrrgh !!! Mat

Only social drink on a saturday.
