Tyne Yard in the sunshine on 30 June 2014 66546: 66121: 66183: 66165: 66425: John

Cheers Mick, much appreciated. John

To my surprise, I won the auction and I've just become the owner of a Bachmann 66200, now to work out how to do the faded decals as per the prototype... John

66108 at Tyne Yard 29 June 2014: John

Funny you should say that as I'm currently bidding on 66200 on eBay but it looks like it might go for more that I wanted to pay... John

This afternoon saw 66108 & 66200 running around: and 4 Freightliner 66s, 66546, 66527, 66595 and one unknown: John

Not at all, it's all interesting stuff. John

I've got a number of pics of the Tyne Dock 9Fs but, unfortunately, none of them show the connection you need... John

And for those of you who like the yellow stuff: John

A couple more pics of the old hump control tower taken from the south end of the yard with the ECML in the foreground: John

I walked past Smiths last night, never thought to pop in as they normally don't have much... John

Not sure yet but I was thing some Black Beetle coach wheels... John

Just to prove it's not all 66s a couple of surprises this afternoon: This one took me completely by surprise so were taken with the zoom on and without the camera resting on anything so aren't the best but I give you 57313 and 57318: and now something I've not seen for a long time, a Class 60, looking resplendent in DB Schenker livery, 60015 at the south end of Tyne Yard just about to join the mainline: And back to the 66s, 66527 & 66595 top and tail a train of yellow stuff: John

Did they have anymore as I'm after a DB Schenker 66? John

66046 and 66031 just about to leave Tyne Yard on 28 June 2014: John

Noticed a few days ago that additional fencing was going up all round the yard with security at the main road entrance - apparently a bunch of guys dressed in Network Rail gear drove a flatbed truck in to the yard a couple of weeks ago and made off with over £20,000 worth of gear... None of which affects access to the bridge so here are some photos from 28 June 2014: 66599 shunting: 66952 & 66701: 66200, a regular visitor on the coal trains: 66559: 66563: 66510 & 66559: 08752: John

3 for the price of 1 at Tyne Yard on 28 June 2014: 66701, 66952 & 66599: John

So that was you, wish I'd realised... John

No use to me whatsoever for either the current or the planned layout but I've just ordered one Price is a lot less than I would have expected and the killer for me was 'Designed for drop-in conversion to P4 and EM wheelsets' John
