RMweb Gold big jim Posted August 29, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 29, 2017 Realtime Trains had the train running around the Liverpool Loop Line as well as out to New Brighton and West Kirby. I'm guessing you didn't make it that far? unfortunatly no, the route conductor went sick, same tonight now, not doing the mersey at all (or the bootle branch) basically from crewe to northwich-chester-warrington-edge hill-warrington and direct back to crewe the only reason its only going edge hill is i dont sign from there to lime st as i only used to go as far as edge hill with the old fastline coal trains and havent had a chamce to learn the last little bit into the terminus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted September 7, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 7, 2017 I wondered if you could help with this I've just watched a DVD that showed Colas 60076 on a cement train but on the side of the loco it had a 'TARMAC' logo was this just a one off thing? Named "Dunbar" and Tarmac branded March 2016 The branding was on one side only (the side with only one grille) and removed sometime around end June/early July 2016 if flickr picture dates are correct.

Great pics as ever Jim I'm always looking out for you while I'm plying my trade around the Midlands. Cheers Colin I went to the model shop in bury st Edmunds a few months back (Model Jn) and the owner said "are you big jim?" and had a chat with him for a bit, then a few days later I got on a voyager in Edinburgh and someone else recognised me there too! Similarly in bidston last week, being recognised in the local area is not unusual but away from home feels strange (and then you don't really know what to say to people!) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
