Bar Side Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I was passing the Stowmarket DRS stabling point the other day & had to stop and take a photo. Two sidings both packed with stock & no less than 8 class 37s in residence. Considering that this is basically a dieseling point with no crew cabin or anything I was suprised by how much was there. The lines to the left are the Great Eastern mainline between Norwich and Liverpool St. If you stuck that much stock in sidings on a layout no one would take you seriously.

Classsix T Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 The annual DRS thrash-fest, sorry, RHTT season is much looked forward to in East Anglia. Previous seasons have been Class 20 dominant, last year Cl57 and Cl66 shared duties with the EE engined classics. This year they are spoiling us! Incidentally, the DRS crews have a bothy in one of the rooms in the up side station building. Try to get some more pictures at the end of the season, they'll be absolutely filthy (the stock, not the crews). C6T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dseagull Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Best move I've ever seen was at Stowmarket in RHTT season. A 90 expired at Stowmarket - pan head got caught in the 'knitting'. A pair of 20's, sandwiching RHTT wagons, dragged the dead 90, a full rake of Mk3s and a DVT back to Norwich. Hellfire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar Side Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Now that would be something to model - couple of sound equipped 20s and a 90 with a full train on the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar Side Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 Well the stock is now pretty filthy - nice 37 on its own I saw the other day: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
