Have you got any pictures

 

 

Found this on Flickr of 66418 and it's additional branding. Fairly discreet, which is nice.

 

Andy.

 

 

Sorry, I should have mentioned search on Flickr - I haven't seen it yet and I guess there are no forum members with photos so I left it for people to go and find them.

 

At Eastleigh this pm, 66954 on 432T, Garston to Southampton Maritime:

Some of mine from yesterday (10 June)

 

Eccles Road

 

66213 on 6L90, 23:00, Peak Forest Cemex Sdgs - Norwich T.C. (06:42) - loaded stone

This train was so long it blocked the lower yard and the connection onto the main line, trapping the 07:05, Norwich - London in the platform, casusing it to be cancelled.

Freightliner 66601 with DRS 66423 in multiple mode on DRS operated 6K05 Carlisle-Crewe climbing the 1:120 or so through Langho.

Not a great pic, but a useful record shot of two FOC locos working together and not DIT.

 

post-408-0-37904200-1434148236_thumb.jpg

 

Both locos working hard on a long and heavy consist of MHA/MTA/JJA/YKA/MRA's. Interesting to hear that there is a distinctive difference in sound from the two locos - one being a "standard" engine, and one a low emission variant.

 

Here's the going away shot through the heat haze. (The locos are about level wth my house)

A couple of GBRf 66s from Stamford earlier last week.

 

66755 passes through with 4L02, 03:50 Hams Hall to Felixstowe North.

 

 

Followed shortly in the opposite direction by 66751 heading back to Old Dalby with IEP 800001 after over-night testing, as 5M98.

Hello

 

Here a few photos taken back on the 17/05/2003, with the Hertfordshire Railtours 'Merrymaker' from Paddington to Shrewsbury, passing Princes Risborough at 9.30am. With locos 66226 and 66236 with 14 coaches in between.

66420 cut a rather lonely figure this afternoon at Southampton MCT, in its blue livery amongst all the other Freightliner green Cl.66s and Cl.70s.

 

It was stabled right by the buffers, feeling rather sorry for itself as its #5 traction motor was isolated too.

 

Hope it feels better soon.....

Apart from light engine movements between Crewe Basford Hall and Leeds Midland Road, the green team doesn't have any regular haulage now on the trans-pennine route via Huddersfield.  So it was a surprise to see that some 'Binliners' appear to be running again from Bredbury, Greater Manchester to Oxwellmains.

 

66615 approaches Bradley Junction Huddersfield in late evening on 19th June 2015 with the return working 6M00, 10:06 Oxwellmains to Bredbury RTS empty 'Binliner'.

Engineering work between Huddersfield and Stalybridge on 21st June 2015 meant many trans-pennine services were diverted via Hebden Bridge, or substituted by bus.  It also meant a few engineers' trains including;

 

66080 and 66158 work 6T54 to Doncaster Up Decoy away from Huddersfield.

 

 

 

 

 

 

66428 bringing fresh ballast in 6A01, 16:39 Doncaster Up Decoy to Huddersfield passes Bradley Junction.

Friday 19 June saw a conundrum which is yet to be solved.

 

Eccles Road

66198 on 6L39, 06:37, Mountsorrel Sdgs - Trowse Yard Redland Siding (11:51) - loaded stone (10 HKA + 10 PGA)

post-6662-0-73942300-1434971657_thumb.jpg

 

time passes, the train gets unloaded ... or does it ?

 

66198 on 6M43, 18:13, Trowse Yard Redland Siding - Mountsorrel Sdgs (22:22) - loaded stone (6  PGA)

post-6662-0-95592200-1434971697_thumb.jpg

 

Leaving 4 PGA and 10 HKA at Trowse. The mini stone was apparently still loaded too, so  presumably something has gone wrong somewhere.

The stone has not run today (which it normally does) so no clarity yet.
