RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted May 18, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 18, 2019 5x TPE 68's at York on Friday. Note the slight livery variations, especially to the Diagonal Blue stripe below the cab window where it meets the nose-end handrail, and the size of the Pink/Purple patch which contains the number.

And I check the track layout just now, and there is a working that does just that. 5A58 is sat on the C&PRR line about to set back to said signal before crossing over to platform 2 then on to Aylesbury....

RMweb Gold big jim Posted July 18, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 18, 2019 Done that move a few times both with units and light locos coming from Aylesbury you can drop behind that signal to run round a short freight that has been left in the up platform, if it’s too long to fit between the signals and you have to pass the signal at the south end of the station (164) the run round involves a trip to high Wycombe and back! You have to drop behind that signal to change ends if your coming from the north to access the Thame branch (via the down platform) all the crossovers at the north end of risborough can only take you from the up to the down now 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between about 17.30 and and 19.00 there are three services heading north, plus all manner of DMU combinations from 2 to 12 car. Then before 19.30 there could be DB 66 on the empties from Calvert heading south. With the wind in the right direction, you will hear the 68 before you see it..... The other two services with 11 and 12 Edited August 9, 2019 by Davexoc Add pics 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
