RMweb Premium Vecchio Posted September 6, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 6, 2023 Short weekender to Scotland, Easy Jet makes it possible... Dingwall, 158724 on its way to Inverness, waiting for the train from Inverness ... Now 158712 is arriving, the train I will take to go to Kyle of Lochalsh After a very scenic drive through the highlands and a quick coffee in Kyle of Lochalsh it goes back to Dingwall on 158712. This journey (£19.90 return with the senior rail pass) was worth every penny! 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted November 8, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) 52 minutes ago, Talltim said: It's 950001 now, was it back then? Pretty sure it's always been 950001 - specially built on the Class 150 production line in 1987 Somewhere I have a pic of it being built at York. edit - reading some more -a couple of comments say it was classed as a 180 test unit, but there are no pics of it carrying a 180 number that immediately come to hand. It has always been 999600/999601 car numbers. Painted into Railtrack green blue around late 2000/early 2001 and then into Network Rail yellow in 2002 when it was definitely numbered 950001 I can only find one pic of it with green/blue carrying the number 950001.

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted December 24, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) A couple of 159s at Honiton from 2006 (14th July ad 7th September respectively). Only three of the class received the all-over-coloured roof treatment, and 159008 was the last to retain it. Note the dead aircon on 159005! Both taken from the box window using my first digital camera, a Panasonic Lumix FZ-30 bridge.

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted December 24, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) Followed by one from 2011, 150247 about to depart Honiton after crossing a down Waterloo train on 23rd May. By then I still had my Lumix bridge camera but, for most of my railway shots, like this one, I employed a Nikon D5000 with a Sigma 17-70mm, f/2.8-f/4 zoom lens. I can't currently lay hands on my full notes for this period, but IIRC the unit was on an Exeter- Axminster working that returned empty via Yeovil, Castle Cary and Taunton for route refresher purposes. The unit is still a regular sight around Exeter, but the sole booked GWT working up the Southern route normally produces one of the 158s made up to 3-car units.
