RMweb Premium newbryford Posted October 6, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) I normally don't get a good opportunity to see "my" RHTT for pictures, but it drifted to a halt today near work. 3J11 Kingmoor-Kingmoor via most of the north-west at Settle 6/10/23. A dead 88002 with 68033 at the back (not in multi, so it needs another driver or loco). Gave me the chance to see the weathering up close after 5 days of operation. Notice how the crud is "directional" and the clean bits face away from the jetting module - even round the weld lines - and that the tank above the jetting head is reasonably clean.

It has managed to limp down to Settle Junction and reverse towards Carlisle. Local gen suggests the 88 will be replaced with 68022. If so, will this be the first time a TPE liveried 68 has been used on RHTT duties? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managed to see 68022 passing my house (quick grab shot) leading 3J11 Kingmoor-Kingmoor on 8/10/23. They aren't having much luck round my way as 3J11 was commandeered at Blackburn not long after my pic to rescue an ailing MPV at Burnley Manchester Road.

AMJ Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Anyone would think that there are drivers trying to get in as many obscure routes as possible.
