Those are hay bailers lad, they go behind the grass cutters. We used to have one on the farm that I was allowed to muck around with. Doing hays good for a work out and a spot of travel at summer, but its murder on the hands when you've got two loads nine gang high to throw on and off in a day and you forgot your gloves.

Some pictures from last weekend's Pathfinder Easter Highlander tour. 37422 & 37425 worked the following:

1Z12 1541 Skipton - Paisley Gilmour Street on Friday,

1Z14 0733 Dumbarton Central - Oban and

1Z15 1845 Oban to Dalmuir on Saturday,

1Z16 0934 Dumbarton Central to Aberdeen and

1Z17 1720 Aberdeen to Dumbarton Central on Sunday and finally,

1Z18 0942 Dumbarton Central to Eastleigh, as far as York, yesterday.

 

The pair standing at Carlisle on Friday during a leg stretch break:

 

 

On Saturday morning at Oban:

 

 

A double run round at Oban was required to put '422 back on the front of the train to lead back to Dalmuir as '425 is not fitted with RETB equipment.

 

37219 was dumped in the siding at Crianlarich, I'm led to believe it's slipped its tyres and will require roading away for new wheelsets.

 

Finally, the locos bring the stock back into Aberdeen after the break there. Apparently I didn't take any photos yesterday!

I know, but I don't think that anyone has ever done a comedy song about hay balers.

Now that I think about it The Wurzels could have done a cover of the Rod Stewart classic and sung " We are baling...."

if we were in the jokes thread we could ask why are some hay bales square and some hay bales round?

A couple of celebs from the last few weeks - firstly 37418 propelling 'Caroline' through Willington heading to Crewe via Stoke. It ran this route again today for Revolution Trains' jolly...

 

 

 

 

And DRS' 37425 'Sir Robert McAlpine/Concrete Bob' hauling a lengthy 25 container flats from Bescot to Mossend:

 

 

 

Thanks,

Jack.

How do the inspection saloons work, is there driver controls in there?
