RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted June 23, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2019 Ah well, the best laid plans, and all that. Ten minutes after posting this morning's photos, the phone rang. Golf club stuff again, and an hour and thirty five minutes were lost. I did manage to do some running though, so we have more pictures in reserve. First up tonight though is yet another view of the goods. My intention is always to take several, post the best and bin the rest, but I always finish up showing the lot, as you often seem to like the ones I don't. We'll have a change now though. 60003 was followed on the Down goods by more coal empties, this time starting from New Southgate. Same old WD and minerals, but a new viewpoint, from the Midland lines below the bridge. I rather like this. 37 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted June 24, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2019 Golf at Rothley today, right next to the GCR. Sadly, the trees have grown so much now that fleeting glimpses are all that is on offer. We still have one more close up of 60003. Andrew K is getting high on the list for Timming, after which he may get to feature on some of the top expresses. Swing the camera round from that view, and the carriage sidings come into view, which is good, as another lovely D16 is waiting there with the stock for the 5.13 March local. 25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted June 24, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2019 No trains were seen or heard at Rothley, probably because none were running. There is always something going on at PN, except when there isn't, and at 5.03pm the J11 starts away to Grimsby, and passes the D16 still waiting in the carriage siding. The D16 can't go anywhere yet, as the Glasgow takes priority, and duly arrives behind Duke of Rothesay, in normal New England condition. 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted June 25, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2019 It's raining again, and the peonies have been battered to death. Smart meter to be fitted today, but I pity the poor person who has to work outside on it in this weather. Still, by this evening I should have yet another gadget which is smarter than me. At PN, A4s rule again. Silver Fox has backed onto the Glasgow. and then Mallard rolls through with the Talisman. 28 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limp Duck It would be very nice indeed to have some of those D350, and possibly even one FK. Thanks very much for that info Phil. I wonder how busy Steve is.

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted June 25, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2019 More duck tonight. It would be nice to think that the lady knew enough to be able to point out the plaque on 60022's boiler as it passed by. I was going to say glided by, but I suppose poor Phil wouldn't be able to do that either. 27 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted June 26, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2019 I have a visitor today, and there will be developments, of which more later. There is a special treat this morning though, as the Claud has pulled into Platform 2, and is waiting for passengers to board for their journey to March. This sight requires a close up view. Move on a few minutes, and 62529 has left, which allows more coal to head for London. That has been given priority over the other WD still waiting for an opportunity to cross over into the yards. 26 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted June 26, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 26, 2019 One key cleaner trick/obsession is piling up coasters. You leave these in strategic places all over the house, so that wherever you are, should you need to put a mug or glass down while you do something, one will be at hand. Not so, say the cleaners, and pile them all up in one place where you never need to put that mug or glass down anyway. Sigh. 1 1 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
