Swifty11 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Should that be 56087? Cheers, Mick I think Colas own 56086 as well but I'm not sure, but it's being overhauled Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted May 25, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 25, 2013 You are probably right about the number! It should be coming back via the WCML and one of the 56s is being left in kingmoor for crew training, im not even sure if the 56 will work it back tuesday but lookin at it it may well do 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will likely soon be exported or has been already Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted May 27, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 27, 2013 56302 is on the logs again on monday but will be being joined by 56086 at warrington for the run to chirk and back to carlisle, been looking through my manual to see how to multi them up!! 56302 working 6J37 Carlisle-Chirk, 56087 0Z56 light engine Hinksey-Warrington. I hope you've sussed the multi. Alhough latest local gen report is that 56302 is low on fuel..........! Splash and dash at Kingmoor DRS maybe? If it comes south via S&C, I may have to go phot it if the rain holds off. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted May 27, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 27, 2013 It should have been ok on fuel as it was fuelled in chirk on friday (i hope) and has only done one run north since Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted May 27, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 27, 2013 If it comes south via S&C, I may have to go phot it if the rain holds off. The rain hasn't stopped for the last three hours, but hey-ho, my skin is waterproof. 56302 crests the bank at Wilpshire on the outskirts of Blackburn working 6J37 Carlisle-Chirk, heading towards Big Jim at Warrington Cheers, Mick 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted May 28, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) Just got through the door after this job, lots of fotters about, shame about the weather! Despite there being good parts of the job tonight i got to a point earlier where phycically i hit a brick wall, i got to a point where i just felt like jacking the job in for the night as i could barely lift the shackle, i think i may have man flu Because we arrived late into chirk and needing to get out before a possession the outward working only had 8 wagons on it due to engineering work i was running round in shrewsbury and coming back via whitchurch, decided to leave 302 on the rear of the train and top and tail it from shrewsbury as 087 had more fuel After a right palava at shrewsbury running round i finally got on my way and back to crewe where i headed back to my van, i don't know whats up with me but it took me about 15 minutes to walk the 300 metres back to the van and every step on the footbridge felt like i was wearing diving boots Anyway in bed now, hopefully sleep it off or sweat it out for work tomorrow, same job but i dont know what loco it will be A few pics to follow but i wasn't even in the mood to get any as climbing up and down the loco steps was a real effort Edited May 29, 2013 by big jim 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Kazmierczak Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I thought it was 850 that was at Eastleigh? Back when, if that'd been a "Lord Nelson" 4-6-0, that would've been a very common sight at Eastleigh 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
