DMU Photography - Away from the Three-Quarter View

The other remaining 158, I understand, is 158861 and as it's allocated to Heaton is unlikely to venture along the Calder Valley.

 

158861 'Magna Carta 800' is still in the old livery, and was working along the Hallamshire Line yesterday. There is a chance you could see it.

 

Funny how the last two 158s in the livery are both named.

Thanks Jack.

 

Not that I'm going to chase about to photograph it, but as I commented yesterday on the Class 56 thread, it's interesting sometimes to trace the workings to see the diagrams that locomotives and units follow.

 

After a quick bit of work using RTT data and I understand that diagrams can be dynamic and will change to meet operational need, with that caveat I've established that NT 158861 started todays diagram at Sheffield working ECS as 5P01 to Retford.

 

From there as 1Y97 to Nottingham, then as 1Y08 to Leeds. 

 

After arrival at Leeds it departed as 2H86 to Carlisle, arriving there 2 minutes early at 13.29.  It's booked back to Leeds as 2H93, departing at 14.50.

Probably not quite what you had in mind when you all started this thread, but here is a DMU masquerading as a rake of coaches.

The whole train is comprised of DMU coaches.

The picture was taken at Keith

An old friend of mine is a volunteer on the KDR and I believe drives the DMUs.  It actually looks like him riding on the shunter and hanging the camera out over the side.

I don't suppose your friend has had the opportunity to drive this one yet. I do believe they are making progress with though. Picture taken at Keith in 2015

Whilst waiting on Deighton station on 2nd January 2021, during a snow shower, a TransPennine Express class 185 approaches for its booked stop with a local service from Huddersfield to Leeds.

A few weeks ago on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, the unexpected return of the W&U Railbus.  It hasn't seen use since March 2020 because it is too small to be Covid compliant, but it was out on a staff/training run.  Caught me by surprise, I was out for a walk and heard that distinctive air-horn echoing down the valley, so rushed to get a spot where I could get a snap of it.

That’s a lovely photo’, which shows how majestic the bleakness and grimness of the area is. To model it would require a huge room, but I hope one day perhaps someone might do just that.
