87002, 87022, 87028: One Last Shunt

[Up Carriage Liner]

The above locos - coupled together - performed one last shunt today at Willesden carriage sidings. Emerging out of the mist I managed to get a few poor quality photos on my mobile phone. Unfortunately I'm a bit of a dinosaur and don't know what to do next!

"Taking them all the way to Bulgaria?" I cheerfully asked the driver. "No," came the reply, "but it's their last day with pantographs 'up'."

Going to Long Marston at 1003 tomorrow (out the South end) - I might be going for a quick walk around that time

Regards posting photos, you can either get yourself a free Photobucket or Fotopic account and post the links from there, or (not that I have tried this) it looks as if you can upload an image from your hard drive straight onto the forum via the Additional Options below (click on Manage Attachments and follow the instructions)

Not the best of photos, but the weather was a bit on the dark side...

On the contrary, a good pic. What was the legend on the plate on the 66?

Looks like the Bristol Bluebirds headboard.

Just noticed from the various pictures that the nameplates on 87022 and 28 have been removed, but left intact on 87002......................

ACLG/ETS are doing the work to send the 7's to Bulgaria so probably the easiest way of getting the 'plates back to them...
