    Quick photos of Jim's job this afternoon, Colas Rail's new engine, 70812, on 0K70 Liverpool Gladstone Dock - Crewe Basford Hall at Warrington Bank Quay waiting for 9M55 to depart to follow it to Crewe. Nice seeing you again Jim.

      Thanks all, will have to send in my other pic of Merl when it did 1Q06 vice 37057.

       

      Of course the image featured had Colas Rail's premier driver at the helm ;)

    Bit of Colas info for you all, 70812 is now in Liverpool Seaforth, spotted on the dock today. 47739 worked a sleeper train solo last night, think it was the highland Aberdeen job. 47749 rescued 350130 as 1Z99 which had failed on the fast between Tamworth LL and Litchfield TV LL before moving the pantograph-less set to Stafford as 5U33.

    099 with 175 has done lots of bits of Scotland the last week and a bit, currently on its way back to Derby now on 1Q83 Blackpool North - Derby RTC via the world.

    Storm Dorris really has caused chaos today, 1M09 now in excess of 325 minutes late, excellent idea to chose today to do coursework!

      Indeed! Food never felt so satisfying

       

      For anyone interested, 35 mins uphill walk at 15% gradient, 7.5/7.8kmh for the first 550 or so then 150 cal bike endurance

    After the second up of coffee, the feeling is starting to return after photographing Mr Jim on 3Q94, -2 is not fun!

      -2 is warm. Try being in -45 with a strong cold wind!

    Nice to see you as usual Jim, and good to see a cameo appearance in one of your shots too, albeit accidental! Here's my effort, 37608 - 1Q50 - Crewe by Swifty's Rail Pics, on Flickr

    Nikon Cashback sorted after 2 weeks of submitting, very happy!!

    Wish i'd known about that, I was only down the road!

    How about some rare shed action? DB Cargo EWS liveried 66182 leads Pathfinder tours 'The Mersey Weaver II' out of 'The Hole', the line from Warrington Arpley to the down slow, at Warrington Bank Quay working 1Z25 Westbury - Earlestown Up & Down loop. 14/01/17 Passenger trains are very rare through 'the hole, freight trains use it as required, although i've only ever seen it happen twice before. Annoyingly the sun was head on, making it difficult to try and get a decent shot, but as trains are uncommon through the hole, and passenger trains very rare, it was worth a trip even for a record shot.

    The Arpley Junction challenge is a go...

  23. Swifty11
    It visited WBQ late last year on its first test in Colas colours, not its first visit to Southport either! I'll be buying a model of it for sure, looks great.
  24. Swifty11
    Colas Rail 37099 'Merl Evans' passes Warrington Bank Quay with the structure gauging train working 1Q06 Crewe C.S. - Derby RTC via Southport and Kirkby. 11/01/17 Nice to see 099 looking relatively clean too.

    Top marks Bachmann, you've excelled yourself this year! Hopefully not too expensive...
