Owd Bob Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Must be my birthday as i've now seen a class 66 in another colour other than a shade of Red. 2.04pm Wilton -Knowsley at Crow Nest Junc' Hindley. Despite the heavy rain 66 162 looked really stunning in what looked like a new coat of Maritime Blue. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted August 11, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 11, 2019 A couple of more obscure views of 66's at Toton. Cheers, Phil. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugd1022 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I worked into Toton five times last week, it's quite depressing taking the long walk from Meadow Sidings to the north end with so many redundant locos lined up. The odd rumble of a 60 being used for shunting the North Yard brightens the day though! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvdlcs Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 In the second picture that Phil Mc posted, it looks like the EWS liveried 66 that is next to the DB liveried 66 (still following?) has the horn grille boarded over. Presumably a non-runner in that condition, or is it a Christmas tree for other units? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RusselBridge2017 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 8Z80 in Lansdown Siding Cheltenham all day yesterday. From what I can surmise from Realtime, this was the power and 3 MBAs off the 6E80 Tidal to Masboro which had a 4 hour delay early Thurdays a little north of Chelt. 6M94 Margam to Corby and Margam to Round Oak both were delayed by hours behind. Not sure how it was sorted but the result is 66172 and three wagons headed south a little and are still there waiting for more help.... 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 From what I read elsewhere it was a wagon issue, so presumably a loco came onto the rear of 6E80 and took the crippled wagon off the rear. Could be the third one is was the cripple, with nowhere to split and join the two good ones back up. Could also be the good ones are there to provide brake force Jo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on about 66172 being rescue, as the loco has gone today, but 8Z80 still shows up in the siding, how does that work, where is the train ID stored on the wagons? 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The train ID (the head code, e.g. 8Z80) will be stored in the Train Describer on the signallers panel/workstation in the signalling control centre/ROC. The train ID will not be displayed physically on the wagons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Yes I read that info online. Probably a forum but I can't remember which one, sorry, and can't find the info again. Definitely on something public as I've not been in work this week Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium iands Posted August 23, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 23, 2019 Apparently, the three wagons in question all have damaged wheelsets (from WNXX forum). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
