Passing Water

66230 and 66532 pass Water Orton Station on a sunny 20.07.09

Night Scene

Here's a shot of 37405 passing through Bescot station bound for the up loop with engineers service 6G45 from Toton, December 2007.

A noisy shot (in more ways than one !).

Smokin' Western Beast

Yet another view of D1015 Western Champion lurking in Bescot Yard on Sunday 4th May.

Bloxwich in 2002

The Bescot to Bloxwich trip produced 37s for years but it wasnt until 2001/2002 that I actually got to Bloxwich to see it there. I have an assortment of shots here, taken from both sides of the crossing. The man with the lollipop blocks the road to traffic while the train crosses. I made another visit here in late 2002 and the once banned 66s had made an appearance on the working so I knew that was the end! These scenes feature also some of the last 37s in traffic in the early 2000s, some having been switched off at Bescot not long after.

37s at Spean Bridge

37405 and 37517 pass Spean Bridge on 28.09.99 on the 7D60 Fort William to Mossend Enterprise service.

Go Large

Almost over the bonnet of 37075 at Cheddleton today - handy having a climb-on shunter coupled up!

Uphill struggle

37405 puts up a spirited performance with a short train for Toton (6D44) on the 18th December last year.
