RMweb Gold 46444 Posted October 8, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 8, 2010 Bit late I know but saw 60096 heading towards Immingham at Barnetby last weekend. Here she is with those wonderful 'pegs'! 60040 came through prior to this working as well. Cheers, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 While we're on late contributions, I took a bike ride in the Peak District last Saturday (2/10). Didn't hang around for long, but fortunately... one came this way went that way and came back light and parked up with two others... Just like the old days, biking round with a camera on my back.

I waited for its return with a rake of empty HTAs bound for Liverpool Bulk terminal B) . Here are the pictures,60013 is my second 60 sighting in 2 days! Also at arpley yard was 66060,66094 and 60059 shut down. Ive included the best shot I could get of 60059. Regards Lewis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the pouring rain 60091 heads away from Preston on the 29/09/10 In an even bigger downpour 60049 passes through Lostock Hall Station on the 01/10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for the shot of 49 nearly gave me pneumonia! :S Some old dear walked past and said i must be mad! - she wasnt wrong!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpleymodeller Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Yes she is! The opportunities to photograph 60s could soon be gone for good,catch em while you can! Btw I waited for half an hour for 013 at Arpley with bitterly cold winds which left me rather frozen! I hope 013 or 059 is still working the LBT-FFPS diagram until at least this Friday when Im next at Arpley B) Regards Lewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Another tug to work off Westbury today - 60048. Making a welcome sight in place of the more usual 66, 60048 passes Claverton with 6C41 Newport ADJ to Westbury engineers working. The ballast boxes behind the tug were a bit more varied that the often seen set of yellow 'Falcons', today formed of a pair JNAs, a large set of MCA/MDAs and a trio of MOAs on the rear Weather wasn't great today, but the sound of the 60 certainly went well on the way of compensating! There are some alternative views here too: http://joalder.fotop...t/c1906340.html cheers jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian daniels Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Just driven 60048 from Eastleigh to Didcot on 6V27. Got a lovely fuel leak on the engine, now on my shoes:( 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Richard E Posted October 13, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 13, 2010 60054 has been in Doncaster up yard for the last couple of mornings. Yesterday it was on a ballast working and today it was just sat in the yard throat ticking over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpleymodeller Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 The stage of expressing interest has gone, tendering is now taking place although EMR will probably come out as the winner of all 20, or maybe there will be a few unsold locos as EMR are still collecting their locos from the previous tenders.They will need to move them or pay fees for taking up space so with this in mind plus some of their other yards such as EMR Attercliffe and Hartlepool being small there wont be space for much more locos for the time being.Those there would need to be cut up first.

Clay Country Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 The stage of expressing interest has gone, tendering is now taking place although EMR will probably come out as the winner of all 20, or maybe there will be a few unsold locos as EMR are still collecting their locos from the previous tenders. It's also worth bearing in mind that the locos on the current list have a reserve price on them, which wasn't done in previous tenders. Depending on how high DBS has set the bar, it's possible at least some of the 60s won't find buyers, even though a few of those on offer, such as 070 and 098, are good for nohing more than razor blades. There's also likely to be plenty of less expensive items on this latest list to keep the scrappies busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southernman46 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Very interesting - thanks for sharing that Dave! I'm sorry to do it again to you all guys, here's another tug on the Mendip stone, captured earlier today Making it a pair of 60s to work a Mendip stone in the last fortnight, 60074 'Teenage Spirit' powers past Great Cheverell sounding excellent hauling 6M20 from Whatley to St Pancras. The orange RMC hoppers do go well with the blue loco. cheers jo My picture of the year nomination - sheer quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Would someone please arrange for an EWS shed on container trains to fail and be replaced by a tug so I at least stand a chance of seeing one in action in Felixstowe docks?

Rugd1022 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Caught 60 048 ticking over in Bescot South End this afternoon around 2pm as I was dumping my train there. Looked like it was coupled up to a Kirow crane. Nidge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsOatcake Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 End of the Tugs. There are currently 20 in active service at the moment. That's more than there has been for a good while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted October 15, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 15, 2010 60015 on the kings lynn to goole sand today and tomorro. [panto mode] Oh no it's not. It's at Clitheroe just brought 6F94 ex-St Pancras cement tanks from Toton. Should depart 0600ish Sturday morning, I may just have to hear that pass my back door on a 1 in 120 with over 1000te in tow! First 60 at the cement works for a loooooooong time. Cheers, Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpleymodeller Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I wonder what will happen if DBS keeps storing-reactivating 60s without giving them overhauls? Eventually they will need a proper overhaul so how long will they keep on going for? Also on WNXX.com,60007 is set to be dug out of Crewe DMD for some serious TLC and a return to traffic??

davep101 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I think since the announcement that they were storing them all, and flogging some, ive seen more in the general nottingham and down the midland mainline than i have in a long time, nice to hear them rumbling through notts again!
