Visited Northwich earlier today , just missed 60054 propelling its train into Lostock Works so i decided to wait for its journey up to Oakleigh . I was fortunate the sun stayed out too!

Nice pic - I still can't get used to 60054 being red. I still think of Petroleum sector when it's mentioned!

Here's a few recent red 'uns from me

60007 stabled at a very quiet Margam Knuckle Yard on a Saturday evening 24/3/12

60007 thunders past Charfield loops with 6B47 Westerleigh - Robeston empty Murco tanks 30/3/12

And finally today:

60079 approaches Brinkworth with 6B33 Theale - Margam. The unusual Sunday running was due to the train arriving at Theale around 400 minutes late the day before. Amazingly it had taken 55 minutes to reach here from Theale - normally it takes about 2 hours 1/4/12

Hi all.

I have a delivery tomorrow morning right next to Hungerford Station (according to both google earth and satnav). I'll get there about 07:30 and possibly be there for a couple of hours. What are the chances a 60 trundling by?

It was about 9.45 this morning. Thanks for the extra info.

Edit: just seen that 79 is in DBS red. The one I saw was Ews so I'll go with beasts original answer. Shame though as I need 79!

Went to Eastleigh this morning, 60039 was trying to avoid me for most of it but I finally got a break. Still on shunting duties..
