60046 seen backing in at Boston this morning.

Indeed, 046 worked wednesday nights 2208 6Z56 Kingmoor to Boston and then took 1350 6Z57 back to Kingmoor this evening

Meanwhile there's a photo on flickr this evening of the DCR takeover attempt at Toton, 055, 028 and 029 all in the same photo

60028 on the Boston steel today.

Indeed, along with DBC 60007 for company, the pair have just arrived at Toton with the return trip

60046 is working tonights 2208 6Z56 Kingmoor to Boston while 60055 has been back in action today with 1013 0Z60 Toton TMD to Acton Lane Reception Sidings and 1530 6Z09 Acton Lane RS to Willesden DC

60029 must have passed this weeks engine test satisfactorily as it has now been transferred to the HTLX pool, presumably it will be getting a trip on the Boston steel run shortly and then a fresh coat of paint, blue, grey or otherwise

After unloading last nights 6Z56 60046 worked the 1349 6Z58 empties from Boston to Chaddesden this afternoon

60055 worked 1120 6Z60 Acton Lane Reception Sidings to Chaddesden hauling some more new box wagons and then swapped them for the delayed 1620 6Z61 Chaddesden to Rossington Loading Point

 

[ExRes]

Two workings today, 60055 took 1230 0Z60 Rossington to Leicester LIP for a working back to Doncaster via Toton and Barrow Hill tomorrow while 60046 returned north with 1438 6Z55 Chaddesden to Kingmoor

All still seems quiet on the Angerstein workings (and the 56s)?

The 56s have been at Leicester for about a month now.

 

[ExRes]

A nice little trip out for 60055 today, 0840 6X50 Leicester LIP to Doncaster Up Decoy hauling 50008 and a railvac along with 20118 & 20132, the 20s being dropped off at Barrow Hill and the 50 and Railvac at Doncaster, 055 then went 0Z60 to Down Decoy, 0Z61 to Roberts Road and 0Z62 back to Down Decoy

60046 is on its regular run with tonights 2208 6Z56 Kingmoor to Boston

All still seems quiet on the Angerstein workings (and the 56s)?

The 56s seem to be having an extended Christmas break, as far as I can see they worked their last turn on 19th December to Willesden, were part of a loco convoy (66/60/56/56) to Chaddesden on 21st and then light to Leicester LIP on 29th, hopefully they've still got a useful future with DCR

Having a quick look it seems as though the Angerstein work is having a break at the moment, I can't see any sign of GBRf covering it themselves

60029 was out and about again yesterday on engine tests between Toton TMD and Loughborough, no paint job as yet

60046 has been on its normal work between Kingmoor and Boston without drama, until yesterday that is, when it had a four hour delay with 6Z57 around Lincoln due to problems with 50008, thanks to the booked layovers it was only 21 late arriving at Kingmoor

50008 had worked 0Z50 Doncaster Down Decoy to Rossington and then failed with 6Z50 due loss of power at Bessacarr, this was changed to 0115 6Z49 and continued to Chaddesden

60055, which has been at Carlisle since tuesday, was sent as 1903 0Z49 to Beckingham Loop

50008 and 60055 working 0Z49 beckingham to chaddesden this morning.

There's also been a 1639 0Z60 Chaddesden to Leicester LIP and 1838 0Z61 return, so I guess that was 60055 taking 50008 for a check up

60029 is back out today, after its engine test yesterday it's paired with DBC 60007 on the Toton to Boston steel working today, return to Toton is the 2018 departure

60046 is due to be working its normal 2208 6Z56 Kingmoor to Boston tonight

The second one says cancelled from wtt.

All seems rather bitty at the moment with schedules galore, the obvious thing is that 5Z21 can't run without the 5, so a trip to Wembley LMD is the first and most important working which would tie in with the 1238 STP path from Wembley to Bristol, the mists will clear soon .....

Loads of photos on flickr of 60055 hauling Chiltern DVT 82309, just a shame that the DVT was the 'wrong' way round

 

[50039]

There’s a path in RTT to go back to Chaddesden tomorrow... fingers crossed
