66221 behind 67013 on their way to Toton from Crewe Electric 1032 this morning through Hatton.

67013 hauling 66221 from Crewe Electric to Toton through Hatton this morning at 1032.

It's even worse when find things that you did not know you'd lost and don't know where they came from!

I recently found an red tipped air brake pipe (4mm) - checked the Dapol 68s which were most likely - all pipes present and correct - all other locos and DVTs so fitted still fitted! Where is it from??

ARRRGH!

Last Ride of the Day ~ Nightwish

The full explanation can be found in Robert Rankin's excellent tome Raiders of the Lost Car Park.

Basically, get a paper map of the World and try to wrap it round a globe - it will not fit, there are spaces - this were all the lost things go!!

Looking fresh from the Toton paint shop TfW 67014 running light engine to Crewe Electric through Hatton 1030 this morning.

Excellent boxed condition.

 

That's pristine compared with the wheezers that used to trundle through Mickleover in the 60s!

67007 again - been up and down the line all week - ??route learning for RHTT??

Just to prove it has got white numbers!!

Toton to Crewe through Hatton at 1011 today.

0F55 Shrewsbury Sutton Bridge to Nottingham Eastcroft to collect 37025 for attention at Barrow Hill.

0J36 Derby RTC to Kirkdale Carridge Siding to collect 507006 for scrap - 57310 Pride of Cumbria leading 57312 - through Hatton at 1546 today.

The talk of Lando's maturity in the posts on this page sum up the need for potential F1 drivers to gain experience through the lower formulas. I've watched Lando from Ginetta Junior onwards and he has had chance to develop "race craft", this is something severly lacking with Max.

67007 as the 0Z61 Toton to Crewe through Hatton at 10:16 this morning.

Stiil sporting the St Andrew's flag - white numbers at the other.

Hmm, 1980s coal loco hauling a 2020s South-of-the-Thames 3rd-rail EMU and a 1960s Western region "namer" from the northwest to Notts, with the odd 1950s-design coach thrown in for good measure... [smiley face rubbing eyes in wonder]

 

Maybe I should have put it in the "Prototypes for Everything" thread....

Old livery - new picture.

56 081 hauling 5Q10 from Widnes to Worksop consisting of SWT 701 008 with 47 749 CITY OF TRURO bringing up the rear (see Class 47 thread) passing through Hatton 60 minutes late at 13:33 today.

47 749 CITY OF TRURO bringing up the rear of 5Q10 Widnes to Worksop through Hatton hauled by 56 081 with 701 008 between the two at 13:33 today 60 minutes late.

So you've damaged the sleepers at the end of a length of concrete sleepered track and only have a few wooden & steel spares...

Opposite Tutbury & Hatton Station platform 1 - Derby to Crewe direction.

Plus a track join to more steel track.

Track from Derby appears to be welded steel sleepers up to this and welded concrete sleepers toward Crewe.

Watched the first 3 episodes on i-player a couple of months back...

I think that says it all!

Quite enjoyed Going Postal. If you really want to see a massacaring of a good book read Jasper Fforde's The Last Dragonslayer and hide your eyes when you watch Sky's version!

You were the right side for the sun!
