the Mossend to Daventry Malcolm Logistics freight service

I wish I hadnt wasted money buying Hornby's 86, I have not that long ago acquired a Heljan 86 which I am going to have reliveried into Cally Sleeper livery.

no, but possibly 039, which is getting alot of track time at the moment

have you tried ebay ? look at some of the european brands maybe

I don't know, i missed them today :-(

90021 is currently stored, at Crewe, having had problems a couple of years ago sadly (as it's the last of the First Scotrail 90s to wear the distinctive Caly-Sleeper livery) - 024 - the Malcolm liveried 90, for whom the service is for, hasnt been on 4M25 for a while. 90034 is currently away with Greater Anglia - and several of the 90s, 018, 019, 029, 036, 039 and 040 have been borrowed for ECML duties.

Only 90s ... its a 90 lovers train... so, far, i have seen 018, 019, 020, 021, 024, 028, 029, 034, 035, 036, 037, 039 and 040 on 4M25.

Its cool for those Skoda lovers, as DB chop and change the pairs every few days, a few days ago, 019 (DB Cargo) paired up with 029 (DB minus Schenker) ... then they swapped in 028 (Post EWS white decals) in for 029 to run with 019.

4m25 really should run with 024 in the Malcolm Logistics livery but she hasnt been present on this service for some time - I only hope she hasnt had any serious problems.

Ahem, its 'she' thank you very much, and if the above counts as nothing special, then nothing we do here is special, however anyone who has any particular interest in the railways knows, everyone is different with their interest.

Its my daily dose of AC traction and today I had freightliner 90 pairs first heading north, its like a race between DB and Freightliner everyday to the Stafford South Curve

4M25 is a route code for Mossend to Daventry Malcolm Logistics freight service, which runs twice daily and is hauled by a mixture of different DB 90s, today it was 90029 and 90019, but DB seem to rotate their pairings regularly.

its the Malcolm Logistics container service from Scotland to Coventry, it comes up and down the West Coast mainline twice daily and is operated by DB Cargo UK mainly with class 90s, my forthcoming layout is going to be an Electric depot where the 90s will be based from somewhere between Crewe and South Staffs as a satelite depot. Needless to say, im modelling DB and electrics.

You must have your dates muddled up pet, as The institute of Mechanical Engineers, thinking you're referring to 90029 in EWS, was reliveried into DB Schenker back sometime ago and then into DB Cargo more recently.

My forthcoming layout is going to be a based around a ficticious satelite depot for alot of DB Cargo UK's electric traction, and in particular, the Class 90, which operates the twice daily Malcolm Logistics run from Scotland down to Coventry. The train service code, which all trains have, is 4M25, I am not sure what the code for the ford cars run from Dagenham is, but a Class 90 regularly operates it, in an ideal world, it would be 90037, ''Spirit of Dagenham'' in ex EWS D...

oh ok, thanks for that, ok, so, it wont be:

90024 - at Crewe

90034 - on GEML duties

90029 and 90039 - on ECML work

Could be 90018, 90019, 90028, 90035, 90036, 90037 or 90040

ah good, 040 not been up to much of late i dare say. 90034 has been jettison-d to work on GEML and 90039 is off to the ECML

Yes, but the 90 has been showcased to the world at Warley in primer form and full colour since.

Mossend to Daventry... rather

4M25 is the freight run from nr Cov to Mossend by DB, mainly 90s
