My picture of the year nomination - sheer quality :clapping_mini:

Very kind of you! It was some lucky timing how everything came together :lol:

Here's one from last Thursday (14/10/10) with the 6th Tug of the year to work 6B33 Theale - Robeston. 2010 has seen 60074, 60013, 60049, 60010, 60084 and now 60096 work this train.

Caught 60 019 at Bescot this afternoon around 14.30 as it was waiting for the road out of the North End...

About an hour beforehand, 60 009 came past me on the Sutton Park line, heading south light engine but I wasn't quick enough with the camera ;)

On Tuesday I heard that 19 and 99 were allocated to the ores and with the weather supposed to be good I decided to head up to Barnetby. This was the first time in two years that I had ventured up to this lovely area and with 10 on 6E46 it was just like the good old days!

 

I have to say that I have never seen so many people out and about around Barnetby taking photos, even more than when there was a DRS37 railtour!

Although I am concentrating on late 80s stock I can’t help but think how nice a model 099 would look on the Grimley ores……..

Impossible!,60082 has been stored at Crewe DMD since January last year. You must have mistaken it for 60084 ;)

Great pictures Alex, where about is Barnetby?

Also about a model of 099, there is one at the moment on ebay for £150 :D

 

Thanks for the correction.:blush_mini:

I was rather tired at the time.....

Google is your friend - it's near the East Coast, over the river from Hull, train to Manchester Piccadilly and then a direct train to Barnetby, hth

No heard anything Trev. Was out at 06.30 on the Ores with 60040 on the other diagram.

Good to see the 60s still out and about, we had 074 down at calvert recently.

Not sure I like the livery on 099- I think the corus logo was much smarter. That 'tata' logo looks like it was drawn by a five year old using crayons.
