vulcan product fan Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 That's one hell of a photo with a refurbished and an un-refurbished 50 in number 10 looks well used with her grey roof nearly black with grime . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted March 25, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Furious was one of the last to be repainted plain BR blue (by OC I think), long after the refurbishments and LL repaints started.

RMweb Premium Ncarter2 Posted March 28, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 28, 2019 Just seen both GBRf 50’s in Eastleigh works, it suits them very well. They also had a GBRf 47 for company, I like the lack of yellow on the cab side. Will try and get a photo before the day is out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to wonder how much it's actually earning from that job - the loco went light engine from Leicester the previous day, and then took one wagon from Knottingley-Carlisle. What's the wagon loaded with? Gold bullion hidden under sawdust? Edited April 30, 2019 by eastwestdivide Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the wagon loaded with? Gold bullion hidden under sawdust? I must admit I was a little surprised when it rounded the corner with 'just one on the hook'. I guess the rather hopeful answer is that it's at least enough to cover the cost of the job. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the wagon loaded with? Gold bullion hidden under sawdust? It was a driver training/handling run for DBC crews as they have at least one charter using this loco this summer. The wagon was one which had been previously been crippled and needed moving to Newbiggin for offloading. Douglas 1 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerhaul 70 Pey Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 The Class 50 Terminator Phoenixed 1Z50 London Paddington to Penzance passing the Dawlish sea wall on a gloomy Saturday 23rd March. With planned changes afoot for the Dawlish sea wall I thought I would go against my normal kind of shots and get a train in the landscape. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
