There was a hint of liquid sunshine in the air when I took the pic, but she had load 10 & a dead skip on the hook, so it was worth it just for the noise !!

Great shot that, got called out to the wash plant once from Padd ODM. on arrival we found the pump room on the left well over knee deep in foam. As for the flyover, my only jaunt was with OC breakdown train to rescue a coach that had split the points between 1A and 1 at the start of the evening rush. But that's OT for here.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted July 28, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) Incidentally, this would be 50015’s first train in preservation... Preservation mimicked real life quite well I think, especially as one could goto Bolton and ride NSE stock behind a 37, or head down to London and still see 50’s on BR. 3rd October 1992 Diesel Gala at the ELR. Iirc this was first train of the gala, 8 or 9am, hence the stall still setting up and the crowds being thin.. though all the windows were taken. I remember this being the busiest Diesel Gala (indeed any gala) the ELR had at this point, with many enthusiasts unaware 8/15 were now preserved, several times people asked when they were going back to BR. note the window sticker, and D1041 at the other end of the tunnel.
