RMweb Gold big jim Posted February 14, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 14, 2014 its been doing instructor training this week so that sounds plausable, its being dragged by 66850 anyway so still not under its own power!! anyway today i worked the sinfin tanks from crewe to derby and back, 56078, first time i've driven it, indeed, first time i've seen it in colas colours! a few piccies Running round in derby down the sinfin line, i can see why they call it a branch line! luckily it was pretty rotten so the shunter and i managed to pretty much break it up by hand to get past after dropping the wagons off i went onto etches park for fuel, meanwhile the s-stock move came in from litchurch lane and headed back out towards burton, a harry needle orange pair one end and this pair the other, passing another pair in the sidings!! and away under the remains of London Rd bridge this was the other pair waiting to leave etches park and into the station sidings to await time then a GBRf driver showed up and started up the 20s in the neck which had been stood there for a week i gave up on that side and moved over the other for a few more pics!! the 20s then headed off to barrow hill i then went off and picked up the wagons and headed back to crewe where unusually i came into platform 5 and that was that!! 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
