DRS uses it to support its Scottish operations, particularly maintenance on intermodal flats and servicing of the Mk.2s used on the Fife Circle. Some recent-ish pics at http://www.flickr.com/search/?user_id=129725951%40N07&view_all=1&text=motherwell

Didn't Mainline Freight mothball the Factory for a time before EWS brought it back into use? Seem to recall that happening. Back at the 2000 open day, the staff had raided the stores and were selling off piles of unused Mainline rolling wheels vinyls.

The Ripple Lane stuff was all scrapped on site in February.

To expand a little on this, a four-car sliding door set needs a TGS, two TS and a TSD. Hornby is doing all of these and hopefully will produce the correct numbers for two different sets.

Newell & Wright Transport

Probably NWT-liveried 66747, it was working engineers trains off Bescot over the weekend.

It was 24061 used.

The wagons are a Dogfish and a couple of modified Lowfits.

Both 03s had their cabs lowered to work through the tunnel.

None of my own, sorry. Searching Flickr by combining a 37/4 number and 'Weymouth' brings up various shots eg https://www.flickr.com/search/?sort=date-taken-desc&advanced=1&text=37427 weymouth

It was initially a South Wales & West shadow franchise operation that carried over from Regional Railways days and continued when Prism Rail won the franchise in October 1996, it becoming Wales & West. Basically a Class 37-powered diagram on the Cardiff-Bristol Temple Meads-Weymouth route with extensions from Cardiff to Birmingham New Street and Manchester Piccadilly depending on the day. It was booked for haulage by a Transrail Class 37/4 although substitutions by a Class 37/0 were not unknown while the coaches were provided by a then embryonic West Coast Railways. Eight Mk.2b/c were provided with TSOs 5463/87 & 5569 and BSO 9448 in BR maroon while TSOs 5453/78/91 and BSO 9440 carried the dark blue South Wales & West livery. In addition, three maroon-liveried Mk.1 TSOs, 99318/27/28, were initially provided in the spring of 1996 while some of the Mk.2s were being prepared for service. Normally ran in four-coach sets but these could be lengthened as required with both five and six coaches being noted on occasions. With the two liveries evenly split on the Mk.2s, mixed rakes of both was a standard occurrence. The trains continued to operate during 1997 and 1998 to a largely unchanged route and formation, although with the acquisition of Transrail by EWS in 1996, Class 37/4s in maroon/gold were soon appearing. A DMU cascade in the autumn of 1999 saw the loco-hauled workings end that September.

Enterprise was the wagonload service created by Transrail in 1994 and continued by EWS into the early 2000s.

Moved the Hastings set to/from Ramsgate back in June http://www.flickr.com/photos/pksphotography/4807595003 There's portable Dellner couplings available for rescues.

It was stabled at Three Bridges this weekend as thunderbird, given the extra traffic caused by the Brighton Pride event.

C also covered BR-owned tankers and demountable tanks, so CTO/P/V/W and CUV/W were assigned if not carried. CTA then reappeared for the EWS brine tanks.

37419 went on in July 1993 and lasted less than a year. Legend has it that they were painted over after another depot complained they were in poor taste following the devastating 1991 eruption. 37415 and 37426 kept their names until painted in EWS in 1996 and 1997 respectively.

It was named April 1993 to April 1994, during which it was largely in the Cornish china clay pool.

If you're not overly fussed, how about doing one of the Mk.1 CCTs that were similarly liveried and used for the same purpose? http://www.departmentals.com/photo/977019-2

Its an ex ferry CCT with the ends plated up and the bodysides modified. Quite probably DB889022.

745002-004, 745102/104, 755326/328, 755404-410/413-418/420/422-424

09009, for shunting and drawback of the GBRf operated Biffa waste traffic to Roxby Gullet.
