EddieB Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 The 22.01 Felixstowe Ditton didn't run on Thursday due to problems at Stafford the night before causing some cancellations. And the driver for 4m42 went passenger to rugby on 4m59. This is only a rough guess but maybe 4m45 ran in its path early to Colchester recessed there till it's booked time then departed. Thanks, but 466S )02:50 ex- Felixstowe North) was right time to Colchester and then showing as some 280 minutes late leaving Marks Tey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baby Deltic Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Nice pictures, I was based at Colchester for six years and saw out the last days when it was a mixed traction depot. You probably know an old friend of mine called Kevin Jenno then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted November 25, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 25, 2016 The Shenfield Shark is like the donkey that has been abandoned in the field at the top of the lane. Every one loves it but no one cares for it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBountyHunter Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) Thanks all who keep this thread alive, (especially the shark at shenfield, maybe we should buy her and turn her into a club room) oh and the wagon at Romford, and any other homeless piece of rolling stock come to think of it, what say we start up a sanctury/rescue center for unwanted stock????

PM47079 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 That guv at Ipswich was used as a store room then a locker room. I don't think it is in use now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Deltic Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 That guv at Ipswich was used as a store room then a locker room. I don't think it is in use now You'd get a cracking layout in a GUV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
45059 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 As I was heading to Norwich today to catch a ride on the short sets (top and tail 37/4 to Great Yarmouth and top and tail 68s to Lowestoft today for those who don't know) I tried to take a picture of said GUV to post up on here. Unfortunately, some inconsiderate decided to park two rakes of intermodal freight directly in line of sight... Nice to see it still there though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satan's Goldfish Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Without wanting to be too controversial, I've always felt that original EW&S livery sat very well on 37s, i find that picture more pleasing to the eye than the blue pair. (Although i also prefer them in large logo than plain blue so it's nice to see that one did venture this far south) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Although i also prefer them in large logo than plain blue so it's nice to see that one did venture this far south) Agreed, I also preferred the 37s in large logo over plain blue. We had a few large logo 37s down here- a quick look at my 1989 Platform 5 combined volume states that the following machines were SF based. 37004/012/057/116/128/209/216 as well as 358 without yellow cab sides. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
