Jack374 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 A few recent shed shots from me...living close to the freight-only Stenson Jn to Sheet Stores Jn line in Derbyshire has its advantages! All are Flickr so click to link... Sorry for the overload! I’ll post new pics as and when I take them if I remember. Below is a link to my class 66 album on Flickr if you fancy looking at more sheds... https://www.flickr.com/photos/jacktsrailpics/albums/72157693781930221 Thanks, Jack. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he ever wants a photo of something he’s driving he should get in touch via my website below. I’d be happy to oblige. Same for any other drivers for that matter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightliner 66587 'AS ONE WE CAN', plus a solitary MWA wagon, passing through Deighton on 14th June 2020 with 6E53, 13.50 Crewe Basford Hall SSM to Hunslet Yard.

Steadfast Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) 66055 and 066 are the only two with a white text DB logo, both done at the same time named to coincide with retirements. They preceded the other large logo repaints by a while. On the early large logo DB repaints, some have lettering that doesn't look quite right on the logo, like there's too much white and red letters are bold enough. I think it was the first few through Toton, from memory, as some were being done by Axiom at Stoke at the same time. You can tell a Stoke repaint as the grey on the roof ends in a slightly different place and all the door handles etc are white. Toton repaints have red handles. Some Stoke repaints used a fluorescent orange tape for the cantrail line too. 66128 is in the pic above is one of the ones where the DB logo on the side has letters that don't look quite right. In this link to Flickr 128 is the middle loco, see how the letters are smaller than the other two. Makes the logo look wrong Jo Edited June 17, 2020 by Steadfast 2 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trains passed each other between Plumpton and Keymer Junction. Great to see that the Newhaven Terminal is now open and operating trains of sea dredged aggregate.
