Peter Kazmierczak Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Is someone taking the "Michael" in allocating locos for the class 442 scrap drags? Tuesday it was "Chippy"; this evening it's "The Flying Dustman". 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steadfast Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) Interesting that the 442 moves have 73s as coupling converters. The ex DB ten 66s can't couple to the drophead buckeyes on the mainline (they will couple, but not permitted due to different sizes) but interesting that the screw link fitted 66s have 73s for company too. Unless perhaps it's a brake force issue? Jo Edited May 29, 2021 by Steadfast Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

60021 Pen-y-Ghent Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Huddersfield Town on tour in the Western Highlands! It seems to have been running around on the sleeper for the last several days - here it is (in a not very good photo) at Fort William on May 27th. Wonder what the locals made of it? Also, Wolverhampton Wanderers was active there that week with the tanks from Blyth.
