Thunderer at the helm of the oddest consist?

 

Probably the most weirdest consist but loved every second of noise from this machine, as 50008 heads the resident 3CEP and DATS HST power car 43066 out of Chinnor on the 1P01, Chinnor-Princes Risborough during the lines diesel gala this weekend just gone

Class 50s on the south coast.

50007 looks resplendent in its GBRf livery as it hammers through Ford with the BLS tour along the south coast and then up to London.

The train has a number of reversals timetabled, so both locos will get significant legs of the journey leading. The reversal at Littlehampton meant that 50008 takes the lead as it passes through Shoreham.

There’s nothing quite like these superb photos of scruffy Class 50s as they arrived on the WR. Photos of clean and shiny 50s as they are now just don’t look right to me, however good and interesting they are.

Not sure why the software is making it look like 50026 is doing an impression of 50025.....

Wonderful image. If you cropped the bridge from the photo, the viewpoint would be so unknown I wonder if anyone would have guessed the location.

Less than a year later Ramillies had been on holiday to Doncaster and returned refurbished but still in all over blue.

IIRC this was taken on the day I had my interview to become an apprentice in The Factory....
