RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted March 29, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 29, 2017 A couple from today at Clapham Junction. Both light engines... First up is 66735 operating the 0Z66 09:40 Tonbridge West Yard to Cardiff Castle Works. Despite waiting for it, I was caught a little on the hop... Later in the day, 66304 passed with the 10:19 Eastleigh Arlington to Willesden Brent DRS - looks like it has had a lick of paint. I was returning to Clapham from elsewhere when this passed, so had to make use of the zoom, whilst praying that the approaching 450 didn't beat me to it! I missed EWS 66161 on the 10:31 Cliffe Brent Marine to Neasden Engineers sidings. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I believe other than the one that's in Glasgow works, 66304 was the last to carry the old DRS compass style livery until its recent visit to Eastleigh Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie!! Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I managed to see two workings through Brighouse station this afternoon. First was GBRF 66732 working as 6M37 from Arcow Quarry to Pendleton Brindle Heath passing at 16:08. The second was another GBRF working, but this time was the usual Liverpool Biomass Terminal to Drax Aes with 66713 in charge, 6E10, passing at 17:07 running 14 late. 66713 has been on this working for a while now as I passed it on Sunday stabled at Tuebrook Sidings. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted April 2, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 2, 2017 Wasn't really expecting to see much freight while travelling from Leeds to Wakefield on a Saturday, but was pleasantly surprised with the sight of 66730 on a coal train through Leeds, and 66732 depositing a rake of wagons in the sidings just North of Wakefield Westgate before heading off South L/E.

AberdeenBill Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Hi all, Here are 66148 (front) and 66050 (rear), caught today (30 April 2107) at Dyce when working an engineering train from Elgin to Millerhill, with an impressive looking heavyweight crane. Thanks, Bill 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted April 30, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 30, 2017 That's the same crane as 66127 was hauling with 90019 DIT, in my pic at York ! Cheers, Phil. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted April 30, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 30, 2017 I am not sure whether I have uploaded 66125 before or not - apologies if I have. On my photo sharing site there is a facility to see only your own images or posts - that would be handy here. I am not very organised in my uploading, some go through a 'RMweb uploads' file on my p.c. but some come directly out of the main filing 'system?'! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesb Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) Bit of a sombre post this one. As it turned out, my last drive of a 66. On to pastures new, as you will see at the bottom. The first day of my last week at DB and what a scorcher (weather wise). Not only that but getting my last trip over the Marches was in daylight, so a double win! 66 075 on 6W98 at Basford Hall. I was photted and spotted all the way from Hereford to Nantwich on this one, not that I was complaining! I videoed the final run for posterity as well (it's on Youtube if anyone is interested) After arriving at Basford Hall, it was back to Warrington to relieve 6L97 and 66 188 and take that to Basford Hall as well! By this time, my GoPro battery had died and my phone battery was on its last legs as well, so just the one shot. Then onto the last day (as it turned out). 66 154 on 6F60/62 (Arpley - Folly Lane - Arpley). Also GoPro-d and stuck on Youtube And time for a quick phot of the shiny and new 66 136 after it arrived back at Arpley from Ditton. And finally, pastures new. The one in the background, not the one in the foreground 323 237 at Longsight wheel lathe for tyre turning. Edited May 3, 2017 by Jamesb 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach bogie Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) 66177 on Tees recently with a white roof at one end only. 66524 running round on the Dawson's Goods to Boulby empties. Before anyone comments it IS Dawson's goods yard now as they have taken over ownership of the entire ex Middlesbrough Goods Yard. http://www.darlingtonandstocktontimes.co.uk/business/12911553.AV_Dawson_secure_deal_with_Network_Rail_to_manage_Middlesbrough_Goods_Yard/ Mike Wiltshire Edited May 7, 2017 by Coach bogie 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 177 has white roofs both ends, as per this 2014 shot. The exhaust end is filthy at the moment, you could just make out the white roof under the dirt at the exhaust end when it passed me at work on Saturday, but only because I knew it was there!
