Peter Kazmierczak Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) Why does 70002 keep following me? Here we see it (yet) again, on the Wentloog - Soton MCT Freightliner yesterday afternoon, just as the heavens open... At least the rain adds a few reflections to the proceedings.

Peter Kazmierczak Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I think the above went "kaput" between Warminster and Salisbury, delaying following Cardiff - Portsmouth trains. It eventually reached Southampton nearly 6 hours late. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugd1022 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I had 70 007 on the Battersea stone job on Wednesday and the damned thing shut down on me twice without warning. I had to reboot it from scratch, the second time it happened the signalman was not best pleased as I was blocking the entrance to Stewart's Lane depot at the time! 1 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I would like to see someone try out some different liveries on a 70. Red Stripe Railfreight would look good, much like a 58. steve 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
