Q headcode means track monitoring and measurement train.

 

WCR supplying traction? isn't that unusual?

 

They did a few test trains in and out of Paddington a few months ago, using a 37 with cameras attached. Could be that again.

 

4 late leaving Southall. <BJ>

 

Crawling over Maidenhead bridge too on a dismal evening

 

Was it just the loco and support coach? TIA. <BJ>

 

Yes, just that.

 

Just heard the reason for Tornado crawling into Maidenhead last night. It was continuing the tribute to Sir Nicholas Winton whose, home town is Maidenhead. I presume that it stopped at the station. That was well publicised...but not around here.

Tornado passed through Keynsham on Wednesday night with a nice blast of the whistle from the driver.

The loco looked very smart in her apple green livery but those headlights .....they were so bright !!
Please keep them on dipped beam please lads. <BJ>

 

Anyone know why Leander seems to be moving to Crewe on the 18th? To do the NWCE perhaps?

 

Britannia was looking resplendent in the prep bay this morning at Southall when we passed enroute to Lords but not there when we returned this eve.
Not sure if she was shunted back into the shed or has gone somewhere today.

Ole Smokey Joe clanking its way through Iver

 

Put the whole proposed schedule in - see: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/sea.../23/0600-2000?stp=S&show=all&order=wtt&toc=WR and given it's starting and ultimate finishing location, then what loco may be there to do this movement?
