Sounds like a dash over to Spoons mate. It was locked last week when I was there, so had to do the Spoons Dash. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railfreight1998 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 70812 and 70808 sit in the up refuge siding at Laurencekirk during a relay possession just behind the camera. 9/1/22 70808 was waiting to be hauled back south by its counterpart after failing while working the first possession train north for this job. 70812 replaced it at the front and completed the journey, but both locos could not return south on the same train due to double heading being forbidden on the Tay bridge. 66511 took the empty autoballasters back to Millerhill instead. 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomScrut Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I wonder if any of these will be announced on Wednesday? Seem to have gone quiet on them. Was it 2019 the last ones were done? Colas logo has changed since then, Colas very much sought after and the intake mod ones are still sought after in FL livery over non modified ones. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
