Clagging contraption


 47326 passes Wandsworth Road on 07.10.98 on the 6O95 Washwood Heath to Dollands Moor rover cars for export.

Pair of Grids


 6S44 which later became 6S75 Sheerness to Mossend was always a spin and win on the Bescot to Warrington leg but it was only on 20.08.98 that I saw a pair of 56s on it, 56093 and 56043. 31s and 37s used to run in pairs but usually only one 56.

Dear oh dear oh dear


 08664 appears to have been shunting this lot a bit too fast when I observed this at Eastleigh on 17.08.98. Wish I had got the video out now instead of just watching it. I dont recall why but I didnt stay around to see what happened next.

Blue and red peds


 30 odd years seperate the two liveries here. 31466 and 31427 pass Bescot on 25.11.98 the 84 trip to Toton. They waited in departure position for over an hour before coming out and I got them in the bag.

Blue beast at Bescot


 A quick call into Bescot on 04.11.98 around 1500 I saw 31450 and 31554 waiting to follow out once our train had passed. In fading light the pair storm through the station with a loaded cwr set for the Walsall line.

Tame Skinhead


 31110 departs Bescot Yard on 02.03.98 on the 6B09 departmental trip to Northampton and is seen passing Tame Bridge station.

China Dolls


 37402 Bont Y Bermo and 37416 depart Bescot on 02.03.98 on the 6V70 china clay empties to St Blazey. The train originates from Cliffe Vale and these two ETH machines worked this train for about three weeks around this time.
