jonny777 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Is it really almost 2 years since anyone added a photo to this thread? I can't allow this to go on any longer, and so although I don't know the precise working - here is 58011 in charge of a tank train passing Basingstoke in 1995. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Pilotman Posted October 15, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 15, 2020 Thanks for rebooting this thread Jonny. The train in your photo is 6V13 Furzebrook to Hallen Marsh LPG tanks which was about to swing left and head towards Reading. It was almost always a class 58 or 60 around that time. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Pilotman Posted October 15, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) Thirty-one years and five days ago I was out photographing in the Didcot area. 58042 easing away from the power station with empties. Compare the outgoing line covered with coal dust to the two ingoing lines in the foreground. A few miles north, 58043 is getting into her stride at Culham with more empties from Didcot.

That is great info, thanks. It also explains why I have a photo of the working at Wareham behind 58025. I was beginning to wonder where it originated. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold astropsidings Posted February 14, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) Banbury, 27th April 1985 (Kodachrome 64, early on a dull Saturday morning). 58 025+another [58 026] failed on an empty MGR from Didcot, propelled into Banbury by a Class 31 hauled parcels. 58 023 standing on the up goods to assist the failures. Edit: Just checked RCTS "Railway Observer", Vol 55, P 324 (July 1985 edition), available FOC online on their website: "On 26th (April) 47578 worked the 15.01 New Street-Newcastle. Next day a northbound m.g.r. train had super power behind 58026+58023+58025 noted passing Saltley." Their Observer was mistaken, 58023 having rescued failed 25/26. I don't know what the parcels was; Redhill-Manchester perhaps? Edited February 14, 2023 by astropsidings 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive martin Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Some great class 58 pics ,its sad that wnxx are reporting the start of scraping the stored 58s in France ,i wonder if 58 050 is one of them as it has been reserved for the national railway museum,its tragic the way these fine locomotives have been thrown away post privatisation of the railways! 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
