    To be correct, all of the Freightliner 90s were given a fresh coat of triple grey in 1996-97 when the Freightliner triangles were applied, its not the original paint on those that still survive.

    Bachmann's announced the return of the sealed beam 45/0, five regional exclusives in BR blue, all named http://news.Bachmann.co.uk/2019/05/Bachmann-launches-the-five-peak-challenge-2/

    802110 working the up Night Riviera tonight after 57 failure at Long Rock. Ouch.

    The 317s were undergoing a modification programme, now finished and the RSS 08 has left. CrossCountry still use it for overnight servicing of Turbostars.

    Late 1983 was the official change when BR tidied up the TOPS codes, no mods to the wagons, just a code change.

    So, dangerous or not https://twitter.com/chris_railway/status/1125176481221627905?s=12&fbclid=IwAR1-XFb5_Xzx-wZrpKv4Xw0Yx35iMqdd1eXqYRzqnRR3rt-VZqdBhKhZme0 Know where my money is.

    For when you just can't decide which one to buy, a GWR and XC mix http://www.flickr.com/photos/elstongunnn/46826172385

    Would be a through air brake pipe, which is laid inside the unit and then comes out the other cab to connect to the rear coach. Unit is running unbraked with the 47s and coaches (running as barriers/coupling adaptors rather than translators) providing brake force.

    47746 went on the rear at Hereford, having earlier run light from Taunton.

    And another new livery, 66109 in PD Ports blue http://www.flickr.com/photos/169182225@N05/47694983261

    The latter, has been held at Moveright's yard for about a month.

    314204 was moved by road from Wishaw to Eastleigh Yard last week, was dragged onto the works yesterday.

    It's also been said that some train operators prefer a 'neutral' livery for hired-in traction.

    It was SJR Models, long since defunct though.

    All three have gone this week, 313026 to Sims, Newport on Monday, 313055 on Tuesday night to Booth's and 313050 yesterday to EMR, Kingsbury. All hauled by 57312.

    Depends on your period really. The Dapol model of 68005 portrays the original smaller fuel tank that the first five had. These have since been modified with the larger size so nowadays 68005 and 68010 are the same.

    That's an entirely standard Class 08 wooden door, nothing unusual about it. The unpainted frame wasn't uncommon on BR green.

    If you ran this DRS combo on a layout, you'd probably get a few comments http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReTOelATE0s

    It has previously been kept at Craigentinny during the operating season but that is now a Hitachi-owned depot. Remains to be seen if Hamilton is this year's base but it had been there for a month after arriving from winter servicing at Eastleigh.

    It was 66743 and 66746 to collect the Royal Scotsman set, which left this morning for Edinburgh to begin its first tour of the year.
  23. Simon Bendall
    Those appear to be the same first livery samples that have been kicking around since last year.
  24. Simon Bendall
    Yes, exactly right for those two. Bulk ballast work for IOAs while JNAs will move fresh ballast or spoil, can also carry recovered sleepers and short rail lengths.

    Put 'Blyth Cawoods' in the Flickr search and prepare to open wallet.
