Fat Controller Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 What is the four wheel grey wagon coupled to the FR 66 not seen one of them before,whats a 70 like to drive Jim? It's not a four-wheeled wagon, but the cab and bogie at one end of some sort of track-relaying wagon. You can just about see more of the wagon to the left.

RMweb Premium Richard E Posted July 2, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) 70801 has had a little sojourn, it passed through Peterborough just after 07:00 today with a very short rake of NR hoppers. Only the second 70 I've had the luck to see in P'bo, the Colas livery suits it well. Edited July 2, 2014 by Richard E Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted July 7, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 7, 2014 there wont be any updates for a week or so as i had an operation today and have been signed off for a week, a bit gutted as i was supposed to be back in work on wednesday and was looking forward to it! hopefully i can do a few layout updates instead!!

ews60002 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Jim, The way I look at stuff like being signed off work is a blessing. 3 years ago, I got signed off work for 26 weeks!!! I had 15 weeks of not doing a single thing then 11 weeks of doing stuff I wanted to do with railways. At the end of the day, Your Health is more important than work. Look after number 1 (That's yourself Jim) Get some rest, relax, chill out, do some modelling and you will get back to work. Mathew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
108 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Agreed. Work is great but it's only a means to earn some money to enjoy your time off. Keep well and hope to see more updates soon. 108 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock67B Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Kim, Sorry to hear you needed an operation but hopefully, when your recuperation is complete, it will make your life better. We miss your posts greatly but I'm sure not as much as 'Colas' miss your work ethic! Can we look forward to some action on the model thread? I loved the last lot of videos with the Mk1s rattling round! Wishing you a quick recovery, Kind regards, Jock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
