Another one not long for this world, former BR 20035/CFD 2001 stands outside the shed at Toddington, in October 2016. This one is now hairpins and razor blades.

Nice model there.

What aroused my interest in this picture was the wagon with hazard stripes in the bay platform. Was it a match truck for the shunter I wonder?

 

Could it be a reach wagon? I would have expected it to be coupled up if it was a match truck.

This was a positioning move for the pair ahead of tomorrows Pathfinder Railtours 'The DRS Class 20 Farewell'.

 

Subject to availability, the rail tour might see the use of three DRS class 20s.  20303 is already at York.

 

Anyone interested in the timings for the rail tour;

5Z50 - Neville Hill T&RSMD to Leeds ECS move

 

1Z50 - Leeds to Bristol TM The class 20s work as far as Crewe.

Looking across towards Elsecar & Wentworth.

The Sun dropped below the horizon in the 10 mins between when they were supposed to pass & when they actually passed !! :rolleyes:

 

Cheers,

Phil.

Had a fun day out yesterday following the DRS 20's. Some strong departures, with 13 on that was a bit of a load !

 

Started with the 57's sounding fine at Derby, followed them to York, Leeds (Took a spin past the 19 pacers at Gascoigne wood and the LNER/now EMR branded HSTs at NL).

 

Video here

 

a few pictures my 9 year old daughter took here.. I'm proud of her efforts !
