RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted February 17, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 17, 2018 Freightliner have been running stone trains from Tunstead to Trowse for the last 12 mon ths or so - I thought it was about time I started posting some photos of it ! I've started with yesterdays workings (16 Feb) as they were driven by a member of this forum Eccles Road 16 February 2018 66602 on 6L65, 00:40, Tunstead Sdgs - Trowse Yard Redland Siding (09:58) - loaded stone (17 MWA) 66602 on 6M51, 14:15, Trowse Yard Redland Siding - Tunstead Sdgs (19:41) - empty stone (17 MWA) 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted February 27, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 27, 2018 Today the weather was more "interesting" as the Beast from the East (moi ?) brought snow to the area. 27 February 2018 Eccles Road 66604 on 6L65, 00:40, Tunstead Sdgs - Trowse Yard Redland Siding (09:59) - loaded stone (14 KEA) 66604 on 0M51, 14:15, Trowse Yard Redland Siding - Tunstead Sdgs (19:41) - light engine Presumably problems unloading so the wagons were left and the engine returns light to Tunstead. I had a choice between this and the Walsham tanks, I choose this as light Freightliner engines are very rare on this line. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazza 50 015 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Hello beast66606. More stunning pictures :-) We had trouble with the ground staff getting to Trowse on time from Leicester so unloading time was cut very short and due to us having very old wagons with buckeye couplings the whole train had to be empty in order to run back to Tunstead rather than split the train and run the empty half back and leave the full half to be emptied another time...... So tomorrow the loco will run light to Trowse and return with the second half, thats if a driver is available to cover the job. If not it will be me again light loco on Thursday :-) 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted March 2, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 2, 2018 For info : The loco departed on Thursday (presume it was Dazza) in charge but turned back at Loughborough. The wagons (KEA) are still at Trowse, shivering in the cold. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazza 50 015 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Normally I pick the train up at Peterborough but on thursday I went to Loughborough by van only to be informed the ground staff could not get to Trowse (again) so the job was cancelled....... Back in van to Peterborough and home by 10am so not a bad day for me :-) 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazza 50 015 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Light loco is being dispatched on monday to fetch the wagons at Trowse. Will not be me, im off to Broxbourne on another stone job.... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted April 13, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 13, 2018 11 April 2018 Tivetshall 66559 and 66616 on 0A61, 13:35, Trowse Yard Redland Siding - Ipswich C.S.D. (14:29) - light engines (66616 for fuel) 66616 had arrived early in the morning (running 30 early so in the dark when it passed my area) and promptly failed at Trowse - presumably low on fuel. 66559 was sent from Ipswich to assist, it moved the train into the sidings. A couple of hours later it then took 66616 (as pictured ^ ^ ) to Ipswich - for fuel - 66559 returned to Trowse. (66616 worked a 'liner to Leeds). The next day the train finally returned empty to Tunstead. 12 April 2018 Eccles Road 66559 on 6M61, 11:02, Trowse Yard Redland Siding - Tunstead Sdgs (16:54) - empty stone (14 KEA) 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted July 22, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 22, 2023 Thought I'd return to this thread as Norwich (Trowse and Goods Yard) has been receiving a few thousand tons of stone per week for the last few, about 60% being Freightliner workings.
