RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted December 7, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 7, 2014 Same place as my last pic, but 4 hours later, see's 2 more Colas stablemates have arrived. Is this 20% of the total Colas loco fleet ?! Cheers, Phil. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 4630 Posted December 9, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 9, 2014 60087 brightens up the overcast morning in the Calder Valley as it rumbles into Hebden Bridge on 9th December 2014 with 0Z94 0800 Doncaster to Doncaster, Colas route trainer. And after a quick reversal, rumbles away heading to Wakefield Kirkgate. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Mick I was surprised, but very pleased, to see it as Colas has been using 47727 for the route learning trips so far. Even the bobby in Hebden Bridge 'box took a photo of it. The same schedule is in for tomorrow, but Thursdays resumes the schedule to Preston. Edited December 9, 2014 by 4630 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steadfast Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 A December trio... 60024 passes Shrivenham working 6B33 Theale - Margam 6/12/14 A week later, 60044 passes Rodbourne with 6B33 Theale - Margam, running an hour early. This location has recently become a lot more open with the landscaping associated with the bridge replacement for the forthcoming electrification 13/12/14 Finally a citrus variety - the last of the day's light, standing on a massive spoil pile and zooming up past the shadows and bushes! 60021 passes Rodbourne Bottom at the head of 6V62 Tibury Riverside - Llanwern in the last of the day's sun 13/12/14 jo 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 4630 Posted December 15, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 15, 2014 Two named 60s at Brighouse within the space of 15 minutes this morning. 60087 'CLIC Sargent' on 0Z60 1000 Doncaster to Doncaster, Colas route learner at 1124. Followed at 1139 in a rain shower by 60091 'Barry Needham' on 6E32 0855 Preston Docks to Lindsey. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Mick Yes, over the past couple of weeks I've been hoping that the timing would allow me to get both in the same photograph. The route learner has been a bit hit and miss and 6E32 often runs early. If they're both on time Hebden Bridge is the place to be but that's not an ideal location for photographing two trains passing, unfortunately. It looks as though I've run out of chances now though - the route learner is only in the schedule for tomorrow and 6M32/6E32 is 'Q' on Tuesdays and generally only runs on a Tuesday after a bank holiday.

Cheers, Mick It didn't run, although was scheduled, on both Friday 19th and Monday 22nd December. It's now in the schedule as a VAR tomorrow, Tuesday 23rd December, so (probably!) the last chance to see it with DBS on the front, on the assumption it does actually run of course! And actually runs with a 60 rather than a 66 too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
