We used to move by train at least once a year when I was stationed in W. Germany in the 80's and if we came back after dark we used to leave everything on the train in the goods yard until the next day. Yes we used to leave a guard on the train but it was still in the open yard and we didn't patrol as there were still train movements going on through the night. I can't speak for what happened in BR yards but they certainly left loaded stock in the yards overnight on the Deutsche Bahn and I'm talking proper kit too not just MKs and landies. Regards Lez. Hi Lez The same happened at Andover, trains with Ferret Scout Cars loaded waiting to be shipped to or form Ludgershall would sit in the yard for days so it would appear. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) This morning it's a look across from the field and parked up is 47199 and a short rake of Catfish and 08173 plus a couple OAA's and VAA's plus an unidentified 37 lurking in the background for good measure.

There's probably a forum somewhere that could identify the 37 for you! Reminds me of a trip to Swindon once where my friends were going to go through a hole in the fence and get all the numbers of stored locos. Good boy that I am, I didnt really fancy that so after a long and heated discussion, we eventually agreed if I nipped through the hole and just had a quick look down the line, I had "spotted" them and it was fine for me to write the numbers down once my accomplices had collected them. They inevitably got spotted and the police called but we managed to evade capture. We eventually got home to Southampton about 3 hours late to some rather tense parents. Funnily enough I dont recall any trips after that one! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily for me, I can cheat, I only have 3 x 37's and can look over the top to see which one it is. haha 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll pop a few more up today. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 A quick dash down to Seven Mills before lunch and just in time to catch the 20, 20142 attached to Railfreight 20156 coming into Seven Mills. On the No 1 Fuel Road was Rat 25054 and 47199. Unfortunately, I'd miscounted, and it was the last picture on my Roll of Film. BU66ER. 13 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 A quick run into the back of Seven Mills Yard this morning on my walk, and copped 33012 and Scottie Dog 37081, Loch Long. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 And by the time I was on my way back home, Loch Long had moved to the Fuel Road, a pair of 20's had taken up residence in the old Engineers Siding and 33012 was making it's way towards the Top Yard, and probably on to Dore End. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bell Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 A large logo Scottie dog 37. What's not to like! I wonder why we all call this logo a Scottie dog when it is quite clearly a Westie dog?! Most Scotties are black. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Not at the moment Paul, I'm waiting for the Railfreight VEA next on the O Gauge Wagon front. The Turbot looks nice but like my OAA's I keep forgetting to put the loads in and out, with a Van it's no worries. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
