The line between Huddersfield and Penistone doesn't regularly see locomotives.  On 20th July 2021 however Freightliner 66534 'OOCL Express' passes through Berry Brow with 0D20, Leeds Balm Road to Mill Race Junction, Sheffield.

Interesting graffiti pics for VGA weathering, thanks for sharing. It appears almost every wagon has been vandalised/artified…delete as appropriate…

Mick  @newbryford - next one for the shops, there's some yellow in there.

I've had one of those weekends. Four daytime engineering train due through my local station this weekend, and I missed two of them by seconds, and one because a passenger train got between me and the subject at just the wrong time! :ireful:

 

Yesterday was glorious weather, today it has been chucking it down; but I finally managed to capture the fourth working - the late running 09:25 Dorking - Eastleigh behind 66512.

A few months ago I linked a picture from Flickr of this unusual gold-painted Euro-Shed that I’d seen that morning and posted it on the “Prototype for Everything” thread. Today, it happened to be parked across the street from the shop I had to go to, so I thought I’d take a picture myself. It’s parked in the sidings at Osnabrück Hafen (Germany).

Just to add to the post from @beast66606 about 66004 and its new livery, here is the press release from DB Cargo showing a few more photos of the new livery and the details of the new £2.6m automotive contract with Toyota, for anyone who might be interested.

Many thanks for the heads up, I went to Gateway West Jn to see it leave having run round:

 

Smokescreen Green Machine

 

Greenhouse

 

 

Not a very 'green' departure! I can confirm the clag still smells like a diesel and still lingers, be it veg/HVO or not...

 

The Frying Scotsman is good but I reckon greenhouse is better given it's a green shed???
