RMweb Gold Popular Post big jim Posted September 20, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2015 some from today, engineers job near tackley looking back towards enslow, im sat wrong line and just outside tackley the train in front which was sitting in tackley station having its load levelled the train was sat on the emergency crossover so as to clear the pedestrian crossing at the south end of the station, frieghtliner 66 on it with one of nidge's rugby work collegues (ian) driving once he was out of the way i crossed over too and after a brake test and getting the paperwork in order i headed off towards the set of next worksite marker boards at heyford to wait for permission to pass through the site once the boards were lifted it was away to aynho to leave that worksite and then exit the possession towards banbury followed the freightliner train all the way from banbury as he was late, we both had similar weights (1890 tons) and lengths of train (1900ft, 76 slu) and it was amazing to see how much more grunt the 70 had over the 66, i cruised along on double yellows at about 35 mph in notch 4 as he climbed gently towards fenny compton where aproaching there i got greens as he had pulled away from me on the downhill gradient and was more than likey up to 60mph before bishops itchington, i didnt catch him again until half way up hatton bank where he was obviously having a struggle, i hit the bottom of the bank at 50mph on greens but got restrictive aspects half way up, i paced it right so i was running on a minimum of double yellows, i breached the top of the bank at 40mph (and still accellerating) at about 1/2 power on greens (again as he had pulled away on the downhill bit), the 70 was barely breaking a sweat an uneventful journey from there, passed earl of mount edgecombe at castle bromwich, i had to wait for him to clear the single line lead round to sutton park, had i been stopped at the signal i'd have got a pic but unfortunatly i was on the move towards the red at the time it passed and into bescot, ready to chop the loco off and over to the reception sidings, looking very lost on its own! and that was that 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted September 24, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 24, 2015 That pointwork in the photo of the 153 looks more like tram tracks thanks to your telephoto lens. I didn't realise the Heart of Wales units worked through to Crewe. Presumably just timetabled journeys Crewe to Shrewsbury and Shrewsbury to Swansea that happen to work out as a through one. Shades of Skegness to Pwllhelli. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
