The image of 67027 is at Birkenhead North TMD. The funnel of the vessel which can be seen is that 

of a RFA, which over the years have been stored in the West Float. Currently RFA Fort Austin is moored there. Another RFA is nearer to the bridge at Duke St.

I thought of heading to North Wales today to photograph the A4 steam Locomotive 60009, but I decided to head over to Cheshire to try and phot 60071 Ribblehead Viaduct on 6F05 Tunstead-Oakleigh. I just about caught it at Mobberley after being stuck in traffic. I also captured it on its trip from Lostock Works to Oakleigh.

Cheers Andy

Hi All ,

had a bit of a wait this morning at Plumley for 6H03 Oakleigh-Tunstead came in a VSTP path at 11:47 , 1 hour later than booked. I was hoping for 60045 which had been on the circuit for a few days but 60054 was rostered today. I also was fortunate that the sun came out too ..........

60015 was hauling 6F81 from Liverpool Docks to Fiddlers Ferry yesterday. I made the dash to catch it and heres the result. 60054 passed the other way 5 minutes later. This was my first shot from this location as the footbridge has been replaced in preparation for the 'wires'. Andy

60015 visited Merseyside yesterday on 6M12 Tinsley-Seaforth steel. It stabled next to Edge Hill station until it was required to pick up its return train. 60091 was also in the area working to Liverpool Bulk terminal on 6F78, I caught it passing Edge Lane jct .

Hi All,

with the sun out and me being off, I headed over to Cheshire to Phot the Oakleigh-Tunstead stone empties. The attached shot is of 60059 powering through Plumley 210512.

Hi All,

For info my shot of 60065 (post 1227) shows it joining the Olive Mount Chord at Edge Lane.. I ve been trying to capture some of the workings in as many different locations as possible before the wires go up.

Its an interesting thread this ...........long may it continue.!

Andy

60045 has been back on the Liverpool Coal circuit for a few days now. My show is of it coming off Olive Mount Chord, heading east to Fiddlers Ferry P.S. Taken 300412.

60074 failed on the Lickey earlier , I believe it caused chaos. Very nice pictures jo.

Visited Northwich earlier today , just missed 60054 propelling its train into Lostock Works so i decided to wait for its journey up to Oakleigh . I was fortunate the sun stayed out too!

60065 worked 6F74 from Liverpool docks-Fiddlers Ferry earlier. I captured it at Edge Lane junction. A former haunt of beast66606.!

Here's my contribution to todays Tug action. 60099 leaving Liverpool Docks on 6F74 to Fiddlers Ferry.

Also 60065 heading to Liverpool Docks on 6F78 at West Allerton

I had a bit of a wait for 60054 on 6H03 on Tuesday 14/2 ran in its booked slot, back to Tunstead.

Here's a couple of shots I took earlier at the docks which show 70018 being unloaded, then transported on its trailer to the unloading/railing point.

Here's my photo 0f 60065 hauling 6H03 back to Tunstead from Oakleigh/Lostock Works . Taken yesterday morning 17/01.

Lewis,

I hear that 60065 is a bit 'dodgy' and could go wrong anytime. Hopefully it will last until your visit.

Andy

Managed to photograph both 60039 and 60065 in Latchford sidings yesterday(12/12). 039 is coupled to its train (6F07) ready to move into Arpley yard. 60065 was running around its train (6F74) which had originated at Liverpool Bulk Terminal and was heading to fiddlers Ferry P.S.

60071 was doing 6B13 this morning, 60096 is on the Liverpool coal circuit.

60091 worked 6Z81 from Liverpool-Ratcliffe P.S seen approaching Acton Bridge this morning.

60054 should be taking up duties on the Liverpool coal circuit from Sunday, currently awaiting transfer via 6K50 to Crewe BH from Toton.

Andy

I moved over to Hope and saw 60039 on 6E51 Peak Forest-Selby. I hear it had problems on Thursday (low oil) , but hopefully its repaired now.

I visited Peak Forest and Tunstead earlier this week , thought I would walk up the hill overlooking

Tunstead Quarry to get a picture of 60039 on 6H43 from Pendleton. 60049 was also about.

Andy

Pete,

I ve no idea, when he drew level with me he waved.!

Andy (Roman)
