Southernman46 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 One here from last Thursday. I was expecting 60074, but having not checked online it was a surprise to see a red loco approaching. It's nice to have enough 60s in South Wales to allow this uncertainty! 60040 passes the site of Shrivenham station as it approaches Bourton working 6B33 Theale - Robeston 11/4/13 jo One of the few bridges left in the country where shots are still possible on all 4 corners and it'll hopefully still have enough lateral room when the wires appear too.......................... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 A few miles east of the last picture, here's 60017 passing Uffington with 6B33 Theale - Margam 20/4/13 jo 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timara Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 A couple from today in the midlands.... 60054 taking an MPV from Toton to Crewe on 6K50. 60015 on 6F18 Radcliffe PS to Warrington Arpley. The advancing cloud meant a full zoom to 200mm was needed.... 60020 and 60074 weren't in the best of light, but catching four in a day was worth it 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 46444 Posted April 30, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 30, 2013 Evening, Had a visit to Harrowden Road Junction near Wellingborough this afternoon and bumped into Tim. Good to catch up with him talk trains, modelling and mountain biking! I'll get the first shot in of 60020 on the 13.54 Colnbrook-Lindsey train crossing from the slow on to the up fast. Good to see and a sounded lovely too! Cheers, Mark 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timara Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 A similar (but wider!) view to the above. Finally got '20 in something I can call decent light. Had a visit to Harrowden Road Junction near Wellingborough this afternoon and bumped into Tim. Good to catch up with him talk trains, modelling and mountain biking! It was good to see you too Mark! Hopefully catch up again sometime soon 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 46444 Posted April 30, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 30, 2013 It was good to see you too Mark! Hopefully catch up again sometime soon Thanks Tim-Likewise. I'm sure we'll bump into each other again soon. Good shot too. Did you get a good one in as it started to pull away from the signal as it rounded the curve with loads of exhaust by any chance?

The only drawback of a full frame camera is that a 70-200 doesn't quite have enough reach as it does on an APS-C one! One can always crop, but on days where there is heat haze.....! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 60059 through Southampton Maritime in both directions today, closest I've been to a tug in ages. Will post a pic when I've figured out how to. Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
meld Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Hi All, Unconfirmed Gen Group reports, so far, are that 60011 is "off the road" @ BLI Tunstead .... opps! Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 46444 Posted May 2, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) Similiar shot as Tim's above taken from the Harrowden Lane road bridge near Wellingborough this afternoon of 60019 'Port of Grimsby and Immingham' ('Wild Boar Fell' sounds much nicer!) on the Colnbrook-Lyndsey tanks in glorious sunshine.

pharrc20 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 60011 did indeed come off the road at Tunstead yesterday 1st May. What I don't know for certain is whether it was moving light engine or hauling the afternoon Northwich hoppers, which due to the derailment were cancelled. I just hope the 60 derailed in the yard and not on the single line throat under the causeway tunnel. And TOPS had its status as OOPS.

RMweb Gold 46444 Posted May 3, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 3, 2013 I've been cropping a shot of 60019 in the sequence I took yesterday as she rounded the curve-bit of clag and lots of heat haze. Forgot to say-we got a good blast of the horn too as she passed under the bridge. Cheers, Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious NSE Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) And TOPS had its status as OOPS. Lol.... At dawn on Sat 27th I found myself at Stenson Jcn, waiting on a couple of freights - On the 6E46 Kingsbury to Lindsey I was expecting to see a 66 but 60020 made a nice sight in the first rays of sun, it was signal checked for southbound 66162 on the 4O53 Wakefield-Southampton intermodal before swinging East towards Nottingham... (forgive the indulgence of a little sequence - all shot within 3 minutes of each other...) Edited May 3, 2013 by Glorious NSE 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southernman46 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 This one won't delight the whole train or never in a station purists but.... Tug 63 fugging past Reading West today with the Theale - Robeston empties (think it's about time I upgraded to a camera with more pixels than the average phone camera now has) 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timara Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) It's been a few years since I last went to Dudding Hill junction.... Last year was a dead loss, thanks to the rather wet summer we had, so the undergrowth shot up like anything and blew the usual view out. It's not bad at the moment, though there is a small sapling needing a snip.... 60020 on the Colnbrook tanks again - I did chase it successfully to Radlett, but the sun went in at the crucial moment Edited May 13, 2013 by Tim 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWT442 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Some cracking shots on here, keep 'em coming! A few more from me. First up is 60092, seen doing the honours on the docks trip at Millbrook on 23rd April. The Tug worked train 6B43 Eastleigh Yard to Southampton Western Docks conveying empty container flats and a solitary STVA double-deck car carrier. It's seen shunting the single car carrier into the loading sidings by the station before picking up the loaded wagons, which were conveying Renault Clios. The train left the docks, running as 6X44 Southampton Western Docks to Eastleigh Yard with a fair load of containers and cars. The 60 was then put onto the afternoons 6V41 Eastleigh Yard to Westbury Yard engineers, seen thundering under the M27 at Nursling. Finally, a little more recent, a shot of 60071 "Ribblehead Viaduct" being Eastleighs' super shunter on a wet 14th May. Andy. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Controller Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Another morning, another shot of 60063, still on Robeston-Westerleigh's, between Pwll and Llanelli. (Different wagon rake though...) Nice shot, Martyn; I hope my fellow Turks are being hospitable. This shot was taken about 500m from where I was brought up; when I lived there, you'd have been standing on the slag tip of Llanelly Steelworks (aka Duport). In the left background would have stood the three chimneys of Carmarthen Bay Power Station, whilst the train would have been a Brush Type 4 hauling 13 100t tankers (normally dirty black, and lettered 'Gulf') at most. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious NSE Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 The 'hills' are a little reminiscent of telly-tubby land, but even so it's hard to believe it was the site of a steelworks. Amazing changes.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
