So that's why they were heading north through Crewe and Preston yesterday.attachicon.gif56098 & 56301.jpgFor a higher resolution image, (and a couple of others) of the locos see this link.https://flic.kr/p/CEEJdjPaul J.

They certainly looked good.

Managed to catch up with them at Kilmarnock yesterday.

I had a nice surprise today 56081 was in the siding at Shipley waiting for the wagons at Crossley Evans scrap yard :)

 It was scheduled to work out yesterday as 6Z35 ,1152 Shipley (Crossley Evans) to Cardiff Tidal but was cancelled due to 'customer equipment breakdown/reduced capacity'.  The revised working hasn't appeared yet in the system as far as I know.

 

I wonder if it`s one of these two that has created the problem

Apologies for the poor quality of these pictures.

56075 West Yorkshire Enterprise on a Leeds-Carlisle turn just north of Skipton. Note the old Skipton-Colne line in the background. I've no idea when it was since I didn't make a note of it at the time. Anybody know? This was the days when BR occasionally did interesting things for enthusiasts. Can't imagine Northern ever doing anything like this!

So it seems it was 17th March 1990

I thought for a moment this was a picture of the real railway until I looked closer.

When it was, a south dock driver would have been giving it hell on his last stretch back after a trip to York!
