Swifty11 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Hi Guys, I'm hoping to film 56105 which I think is still working the 6Z50 Chirk - Baglan Bay logs as 56 don't seem to work the 6J37 logs from Carlisle (The train that passes near me in Warrington) So does anyone have any timings or they have filmed it before and remember the rough time? Any help would be really appreciated... Thanks, Tom EDIT: TIMINGS FOR SATURDAY WORKING OF BAGLAN BAY-CHIRK NEEDED Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold CovDriver Posted May 9, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 9, 2013 Tom try this is pretty easy to get your head around once you know what your looking for but it's doesn't give the headcodes for freight as yet but it should in the future http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/advanced?location=Chirk&date=09%2F05%2F2013&tocs=All×pan=3&show_schedules=11&schedule_type=0&show_wtt=1&show_var=1&show_stp=1 Hope this helps Colin CovGuard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jim, What time does it come through Crewe as me and Ellis are on a Cheshire roundy and are hoping to stop off at Crewe before our trip to Stafford... It's Tuesday 28th of May 2013. Oh right, I can I understand why now they don't use the 56s, 56094 broke down didn't it on one if the runs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards D421 do you know what, i'll agree with that 100%, just worked 6Z53 from shrewsbury to chirk via crewe and chester, the first 56 ive driven on my own since 2009 and the first time ive driven shrewsbury to chester since 2007, after i threaded my way out of shrewsbury and opened it up towards harlscott i remembered just how good a 56 on a loaded train sounds and indeed how well it goes, 1250 tons behind me and it felt so much more responsive than a 66, and as for gresford bank, window down all the way, big grin on my face!!

Which takes me 50 minutes so I would have to leave about 06:00 and being 13 I doubt my mum or dad will give me a me a lift... But I really want to get 56105, do you know if it will work it on Saturday as my friend thinks that they put the grid on every other Saturday?

Jim, I tell you the shot I took at Rosset ( in your post ) flew past me...Didn't manage my usual amount of shots!!!! I've taken shots there of 66's 57/3 and 57/0 on logs but none have passed at such speed......Effortless is word I'd use... Glad you are lovin' the experience..... Keep on with your posts....
