Unusual passenger charter today on my local line, 66059 (one of the original Lickey Banker allocated 66's) heading 1Z36 Pathfinder Charter from Eastleigh to Eggborough Power Station, captured at Sutton Parkway.

Early one this morning at Sutton Parkway, 6X08 March - Thoresby Colliery Junction (High Marnham Test track), 66550 heading a very interesting consist, comprising of just about every type of engineering wagon on the Network including a mini HOBC set with 66545 bringing up the rear.

Whilst waiting for a friend, this snook up on me so this shot had to do. The waiting room building was right in the way of a decent zoom shot so this had to do. 

 

By this point an impressive 53 minutes down (With the up working actually passing about 5 minutes after the light loco move (0Z20) back to WWH was meant to pass Acton Bridge!) 

 

66147 roars through Acton Bridge with 6Z20 Washwood Heath R.M.C to Arpley Sidings wagon job. 12/3/16

Next up from Freightliner, 66618 'Railways Illustrated Annual Photographic Award - Alan Barnes' passes Acton Bridge station in some of the better light of the day with 6H35 Runcorn Folly Lane - Northended Bin Liner 12/3/16

66746 has been repainted into the Royal Scotsman Livery! I must say it does look good!

Whilst making a detour home, it caught me by surprise passing Doncaster ( I wasn't keeping up to date with RTT)

 

Hence the badly framed (hurried) snap)

Possibly the most-repainted 66, with five liveries (and three numbers) so far - Originally delivered as 66401 in DRS, renumbered to 66845 and painted in Advenza blue, then Colas. Renumbered as 66746 and later repainted to GBRf and now Royal Scotsman.

 

 

Cheers,

Mick

And its had about 3 repaints just into europorte livery! (Believed to be because the vinyl GBRf logo kept peeling off!)

66544 rumbles through Huddersfield with empty coal hoppers on 13th April 2016.

 

The working was 4M05, 10.15 Doncaster Down Decoy Yard to Guide Bridge which, I presume, was either for storage there or possible future aggregate use.

I don't believe this was ever painted into Advenza blue, I believe it was running around as a renumber in DRS with Colas logo's on the cab sides, but I'm happy to be proved wrong... :O

You could well be right - I can't find any Advenza blue pics of it.

 

DRS/Colas logos

Don't suppose anyone here was out photogrpahing between Bescot and Willesden today were they...? Reason I ask is I had three Freds on my 6Y16 BS-WSDN job this morning and noticed more than the usual number of snappers about in various places on the way down to London. Locos were 66 508, 951 and 635....
