StaffsOatcake Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 A limited number of HTA's are fitted with buffers as "end" wagons and allocated to the Liverpool traffic. I'm sure the likes of Beast and/or 40044 would even have the numbers! Cheers, Mick they work a bit further a field that just the Fiddlers ferry circuit Here is 60010 and 60085 doing the honours on the LBT to Ratcliffe runs 60010 60085 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaffsOatcake Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Which don't run under DBS anymore and haven't done since shortly after the photos were taken. They ran as a result of the collapse of Fastline as DBs steeped into that contract. The LBT - Ratcaliffe runs I've only recorded working in the early months of the year. It'll be interesting to see if they run this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steadfast Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Today 60074 appeared on the Whatley - Oxford stone working having come down from Acton yesterday. Here it is passing Broughton Gifford in the rain with 7C54 Oxford Banbury Road - Whatley quarry. Hopefully as the refurbs progress, now the tugs seem to be a bit more in fabour with DBS, this might be a bit more of a regular occurance. Much as I'm a fan of any tug, it'd be nice to have one other than 074 round here cheers jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted January 25, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 25, 2011 We've lost 60099 at the moment, it's gone off to Toton - so we deserve 60011 in it's place B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 No no no, let us hang onto it down here until the clocks go back, please! Mind you, 099 would be a suitable replacement once Toton have had a play, would be nice to fot it on the sun cheers jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6Y99 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Around 4 Crewe 2 Kiverton and 1 Humber and 1 Midland Road Driver sign via Stoke - Derby they all had route reviews for the start of the LBT traffic in case the Mainline via Stafford was closed for engineering operations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did freightliner drivers last work the route, as I've obviously missed an opportunity for some rare motive power on the route? Hoping the 70's get a chance to show their power on the drag from Stoke junction to Caverswall as that should be a bit more entertaining than the slow and I mean slow progress of the sheds over the hill. The 60's certainly put the sheds to disgrace on that climb with a full load. Blue Tug on LBT-Ratcliffe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Was 60040 on the Westerleigh tanks yesterday? There was a dark red tug in there when I went by around lunchtime. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted February 2, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 2, 2011 Not the world's best pic as it was 1630 and the sun had already gone down..... 60040 clagging nicely as it leaves the up and down goods loop at Blackburn with 6Z40 return empty BYA's to Immingham on 2/1/11 Cheers, Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon_R Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 A friend who knows a man (if you know what i mean) told me today that there are 6 more tugs and at least 6 sheds about to get the DBS treatment at Toton shortly. No idea about the numbers but lots of 'red paint and white sticky bits' have been delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpleymodeller Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 It will be nice to see some more DBS red locos As long as 60054 retains its Trainload Petroleum identity,the last railfreight sector liveried loco left running B) I dont think DBS should be painting 60s before their overhauled as the nice new paint work will be ruined during the overhaul process...
