DOCJACOB Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Something different from me. I spent a few hours, as it was nice sunny day, at my old haunt of Brocklesby Junction. Usual passenger train fodder but x1 Class 60 x3 Class 66 and x1Class 70 Vaguely recall the signal box is listed, and the massive station is because Lord Yarborough was a financial backer in MLSR. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owd Bob Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 A busy warm and Sunny class 66 afternoon on Westbury Station Wed' 24th July 2001.

RMweb Gold scottystitch Posted March 27, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 27, 2019 Today 66160 powers through Laurencekirk at the foot of the long climb to Carmont, with the Mossend to Aberdeen Waterloo clay slurry for the oil industry. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owd Bob Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 27-3-'19. 1.50pm. Daisy Hill Station, Lancs' 66 121 really blew my cap off as it sped through with the Wilton - Knowsley bintainer. The platform extension works seem to continue at a slow rate and a few more tree's have been lopped down along the embankment on both the North & South sides of the track since my last visit a few weeks ago. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant photos and in fact the first ones I have seen confirming that at least one of the two 66s appears to wear the same livery as per GBRf's Maritime 727. Apparently one is 66005 and the other 66 is as yet unknown. Both will apparently be wearing Maritime Blue. Thank you for posting the photos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steadfast Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I reckon they look slightly smarter than the GBRf one due to the fact they have a simpler yellow end treatment and the side logo positioning looks more balanced. Cab side with maritime logo and number is a little cluttered though Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 4630 Posted March 29, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 29, 2019 Yes, it sounds like the product of very little thought. Logical (and there's nothing wrong with that!), but lacking in imagination and creativity are the thoughts that spring to my mind. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
