Wild Boar Fell Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Think here is probably the most appropriate place to mention it, but 66755 (one of the latest batch) will be at the Great Central Railway diesel gala this coming weekend. Hope this is of interest. Regards, Wild Boar Fell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcanman Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 10.00am this morning sees 66737 'Lesia' with 6S45(SO) North Blyth - Fort William Alcan tanks, approaching Newsham where it will run around. As the loco passed, I noticed the last two numbers - 37, being much larger than 667, very odd indeed! 15 minutes later, having completed the run around move, 66737 heads North.

Wild Boar Fell Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Hello Folks, Some photos of 66753 from this Saturday. All its workings were double headed with the 66 at the front, I assume this was done as GM never considered fitting Vac braking to them. The loco certainly proved popular as its services were always packed whilst I was there. Oh and this was the 80 wheeled beast it rode in on, complete with loading ramp! Best Regards, Wild Boar Fell 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
