surfsup Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Has it been confirmed that both 37057 and 207 are now both Colas owned Machines, or on hire to Colas from HNRC? That picture is a little out of date now Robin, as 057 is now sporting a High Intensity Headlamp and orange OTMR box visible in the cab as well.

I believe some are destined for use on NR test trains. 37175 is already in use on them. Also a possibility that there may be a long term contract for dragging EMU's to/from refurbishment. I may have to add green to my (mostly) yellow workbench. Cheers, Mick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Horse Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 60096 went through Willaston effortlessly this evening on the Baglan logs, seemed to be flying although I guess the speed was emphasised with it being dark, sounded fab 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted September 10, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2015 couple from tonight got a train from leicester to doncaster so i could conduct one of our services back south via barrow hill and the erewash as far as leicester, the reason being the ECML was under possession for testing of the new IEP units north of peterborough anyway with one thing and another it never ran which was a shame but on the plus side i got allocated 47 which ive not been on for a while and typically, like buses you wait for one and 2 come along! iphone pics again sheffield while i changed trains, had a nice ride up to there in a HST doncaster, 47727 and 47739 as i say we never managed to get out so the job was cancelled and i headed back to Leicester to a hotel for the remainder of the night got some pics of 727 in the west yard on my proper camera that i'll upload when i get home 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
