Owd Bob Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Cheers! Very lucky! It's only the second time this year i've caught two at once, mind you my half an hour to an hour stay once or twice a week whilst swmbo do's some local shoppin' (For local People) is'nt a long enough stay for me to see more, i very nearly had a cl.66 loco' and 142 together last week just here...the 142 went away round the bend towards Bolton just as the 66 came towards me round the bend from Daisy Hill, they just missed each other by 20 seconds Something to look forward to snapping one day i suppose. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpendle Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 And you got Westhoughton Parish Church and Town Hall in the background. I also have a favour to ask. I'm looking to model the Wilton to Knowsley train and would love some boring side on and top shots of the containers and wagons please.

Regards, John P There will be a few similar to this in some of my monthly galleries if that would help; Knowsley-Wlton binliner I'll see if I can take some later this week when I'm along the Calder Valley when it's due to pass. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 4630 Posted October 15, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 15, 2019 Pacers are still cropping up on the longer diagrams across the Pennines. Northern 142058 at Brighouse on 15th October on the rear of 1J06, 09.24 Southport* to Leeds. * but started from Wigan Wallgate due to the late arrival of the inbound service. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted October 15, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 15, 2019 Is that a crack, near to the WIPAC lights, on the driver’s side of the 142’s cab? Can’t Northern, if it is a crack, get it repaired to keep things safe. Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium JDW Posted October 15, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 15, 2019 Yeah, plus its a fibreglass moulding, I suspect if something big enough is going to hit it hard or fast enough, a relatively small crack isn't going to make much of a difference to how safe it is...

Owd Bob Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Looks like it probably hit the half naked cider bottle wielding idiot i saw walking down the centre of the line at Hag Fold, Atherton a few weeks back obviously stoned off his face.

RMweb Gold 4630 Posted October 17, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) The hourly local stopping service between Huddersfield and Castleford is still producing a class 142 from time to time, instead of the more usual class 153. On a misty autumn morning Northern 142037 passes Ravensthorpe with 2O67, 09.56 Castleford to Huddersfield. Edited October 17, 2019 by 4630 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastwestdivide Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Today, Hope Valley, out from Sheffield on a 150, back on a 142. No pics, as I couldn't even get my phone out of my pocket it was so wedged (the guard couldn't get from the doors into the back cab, let alone try to take any tickets. The previous AND subsequent Hope Valley stoppers were cancelled due to staffing problems. I've no idea why they couldn't find a slightly bigger train on a Sunday, knowing that the two either side were cancelled. There must have been the previous train sitting around idle in Manchester somewhere. Edited October 20, 2019 by eastwestdivide 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
