Were the 2 blokes at the back trying to bump-start it ? Cheers, Phil.

67015 arriving at Toton today, sandwiched between 66058 & 66112 Cheers, Phil.

Hi Jim, When are you getting a go on these? I'll like to know how you think they compare with the newer ( and older!! ) loco's you drive ! Cheers, Phil.

A couple of the other Colas loco's ( 002 & 076 ) were being shunted around, before 'Spirit of Jaguar' bursts into life ! Cheers, Phil.

Comparison with a DB liveried example. Cheers, Phil.

This came out of Toton paint-shop today, 021 I presume ! Looks like they've run out of Microsol Cheers, Phil.

A few of the 20/9 sub-class, in varying states of repair ! Cheers, Phil.

3 pics from Doncaster, & 3 from further South! Cheers, Phil.

Thanks, I was sure I hadn't made it up !! Cheers, Phil.

Doncaster, this afternoon. Cheers, phil.

I have a vague recollection of a couple of 100 tonne bogie tank wagons, disappearing under brambles at Long Rock. Is/was this the case? Are they still there? Cheers, Phil.

Hi Mick, That consist is correct, I got plenty of pics to prove it. Cheers, Phil. P.S. Your not the first to ask me that question, & this isn't the first time I've not answered it (your only jealous!)

A few more. Cheers, Phil.

I walked past it once & never noticed, it was only when I walked back that I saw them! Cheers, Phil.

66021 at Doves Holes today. Cheers, Phil.

A few close-ups of the new DRS livery. I rather like it, shame I've modelled this loco in the 'old' livery Cheers, Phil.

2 thorns between 3 roses?? Cheers, Phil.

70003 making a rather smoky ARRIVAL at Earles Sidings Cheers, Phil.

Noticed today that 20311 has had little numbers added to the cab end. Cheers, Phil.

67003 & 67020, leaving Crewe towards Derby, today. Cheers, Phil.

045 on a unit transfer move. Cheers, Phil.

Not my pics, but used with the permission of my mate that took them!! Cheers, Phil.

004, looking rather smart !! Cheers, Phil.

47853 (with 47813 at the rear) on the Anglia short set, at Reedham swing bridge last night. I do like the re-furbished DRS Mk 2's!! Cheers, Phil.

The, then, soon to be derelict Woodhead route. Apologies for the pic quality, but it was taken by a child (me!) who's age was still in single figures at the time. This is the section between Wath & Barnsley (Darfield Main Colliery headgear can be seen), its all cycle paths now, me & my son occasionally ride along here, he thinks i'm being quiet due to the effort, but it's actually because i'm listening for the sound of double headed 76's on the coal trains that I could hear from my childhood home. (ok, its because im struggling to keep up with him!!) The road in the picture wasn't open at the time, it was still being built, no doubt in the name of 'progress'. Cheers, Phil.
