DCR locos

[ExRes]

According to local reports it was 028.

Yes, a couple of pictures on Flikr this morning saying that it was on a load test but one post on WNXX that it was on the circular trip for filming at Chelsea Bridge, it certainly had a good long rake of wagons. Whichever loco that took 6Z29 back to Chaddesden then went light as 2330 0Z30 to Toton

looks like 028 went to angerstein this afternoon

looks like 028 went to angerstein this afternoon

Just seen a Flickr photo dated today of 60055 at Toton, if the date's correct then I would guess that's for its exam and 046 should become available again soon

Either 028 or 017 did the 6Z60/6Z61 Willesden - Acton Lane - Willesden shuffle this morning before 028 took the 1550 6Z40 to Angerstein

56091 worked 1008 5Q20 Bristol BH WRD to Wembley LMD this morning returning Chiltern DVT 82303 and is currently on its way back to Bristol with 1500 5Q21

Bit worried about 028 this morning looking at RTT, last nights 6Z41 went from 3 early at Lincoln to 354 late at Scunthorpe Trent Jct and 207 late at Roxby, seems it was stuck courtesy of GBRf 6E04 Whitemoor to Doncaster which eventually made Doncaster 536 late, obviously the staff at Roxby were on the ball and 028 left just 24 late with 1606 6Z42 to Willesden, actually arriving almost an hour early

56091 worked 1008 0Z56 Bristol to Willesden and then joined up with 60017 on the oddly ROG designated 1530 078A to Toton, the 56 then went light to Leicester as 2012 0Z57

60028 worked 1520 0Z60 Willesden to Toton this afternoon to join 029, 046 & 055 at the TMD

One of the 56s did it's bit today with 1100 0Z58 Leicester LIP to Knighton Junction Sdgs and an early running 1255 6Z58 return, the only currently scheduled work this weekend is an 0Z33 Leicester to Princes Risborough and then 0Z17 on to Wembley HS

 

[ExRes]

0Z33 ran on a revised 1930 0Z33 Leicester LIP to Princes Risborough ACE via MML this evening, reported elsewhere as one of 56091/56103 with 58023 and 31128 DIT for the Chinnor & Princes Risborough gala later this month

** A rather strangely misreported convoy it seems, confirmed this morning that it was actually the two 56s taking 33053 to the C&P as their 33 is currently unwell, I'm sure the owners of 31128 & 58023 will be relieved to know their locos haven't been kidnapped

Disappointingly boring DB 66199 on this afternoon's trip Angerstein Wharf.

Disappointingly boring DB 66199 on this afternoon's trip Angerstein Wharf.

And I thought for a while that you were going to be in luck with the 56s in London today, all four 60s together at Toton and the Angerstein running ......

The 56s worked the delayed 2205 0Z17 Princes Risborough ACE to Willesden and then 56091 the 1200 0Z56 to Leicester LIP, there are currently some schedules involving Willesden/Wembley/Wolverton/Bletchley tomorrow, we'll see if they run

Hired in DBC 66199 worked 0800 0Z66 Acton TC to Willesden then 1550 6Z40 to Angerstein to form 2300 6Z41 to Scunthorpe RG

 

[ExRes]

Both 56s in action again today, 56091 worked 1001 0Z56 Leicester LIP to Bescot Down Side, 6X56 Bescot to Long Marston with a Railvac and a ballast conveyor and then 1700 0Z57 back to Leicester, 56103 worked 0853 0F01 Willesden DCR to Acton Lane Rec Sdgs, 0920 0C02 to Wolverton Centre Sdgs and 1133 0F03 to Wembley Reception, further trips 0C04 to Bletchley and 0F05 to Willesden were cancelled

[ExRes]

Lots more running around for 56103 today, 0910 0C06 Willesden to Bletchley, 1100 0F07 to Wembley, 1230 0C08 to Bletchley, 1334 0F09 to Wembley, 1529 0C10 to Bletchley and 1635 0D11 to Willesden, more trips currently scheduled for tomorrow

After arriving with last nights 6Z43 66199 did the 0Z60/6Z61 Willesden/Acton Lane Rec Sdgs shuffle before working 1550 6Z40 to Angerstein to form tonights 2300 6Z41 to Scunthorpe RG

 

[ExRes]

A last day of trips for 56103, 0853 0C12 Willesden to Bletchley, 1038 0F13 to Wembley, 1132 0C14 to Bletchley, 1231 0F15 to Wembley and 1332 0F17 to Willesden

With the 60s all still at Toton DBC 66199 is still hard at work with last nights 6Z41 to Scunthorpe RG, then light as 1045 0Z60 to Chaddesden and 1400 6Z60 to Neath Abbey Wharf

56091 worked 1000 0Z42 Leicester LIP to Scunthorpe RG and 6Z42 to Willesden

 

[ExRes]

60028 was out after maintenance at Toton with 60015 on the Boston steel working

56091 on 1203 0Z56 Willesden to Leicester LIP

Only the 2nd, I believe, photo on WNXX (subscription) today of 60029 at Toton from last saturday, in DCR grey with 'Ben Nevis' name plate 029 is yet to enter revenue service

60028 on the Angerstein Run again today. Managed to catch it in daylight -

Certainly good to see the Angerstein running in daylight again, due away at 2300 on 6Z41 to Scunthorpe RG

56103 worked 1300 0Z56 Bristol BH WRD to Willesden

Looks like 6Z41 had problems and was last reported 128 late at Doncaster at 0727. It was a red DB 66 on the front (ID would be appreciated) not 60028.

It seems from Rail Record that it's 66009

 

[ExRes]

Last nights 6Z41 made up time to arrive at Scunthorpe RG 117 late, DBC 66009 then ran as 1216 0Z43 to Chaddesden to form 1708 6Z43 to Neath Abbey Wharf, 60028 was reported to have been seen shut down at Acton

56091 ran as 0944 0Z42 Leicester LIP to Scunthorpe RG and then 1753 6Z42 to Willesden where it will join 56103

60029, 046 & 055 remain at Toton TMD

 

[ExRes]

DBC 66009 arrived on time at Neath Abbey Wharf with 6Z43 and was replaced by DBC 66054, thanks Tom on Allocations for confirmation, for the friday 1708 6Z44 Neath AW to Rossington Loading Point and todays 1232 6Z45 to Willesden

An 0802 0Z60 Willesden to Leicester LIP had been scheduled but was reported as cancelled, presumably both 56s are still at Willesden and 60028 either there or at Acton

Both 56s still at willesden 60028 was hauled by 67006 on 0K06 on friday from wembley yard to crewe electric depot where it still is currently.

Very illustrious company for 60028, isn't 67006 one of the Royals? it seems a bit odd going to Crewe rather than Toton so I assume it's one of those round the houses transfers, things must be getting a bit fraught now as this is the third time in a month that 028 has had to be removed from a running job, meanwhile hire in DBC 66054 worked 0917 0Z60 Willesden to Chaddesden and 1453 6Z60 to Carlisle Kingmoor arriving just over 100 early and is scheduled to resume the Boston run tomorrow

One or both of the 56s are scheduled to work from Willesden to Westbury and return tomorrow, there is also a Toton to Willesden and then Angerstein due to run so maybe one of 029, 046 or 055 will be out, all three are still at Toton, 029 was photographed in DC grey on 25 February but is yet to work its first turn, 046 has been there since 10 February and 055 since 4 March

Yes it is one of the royals 67005 being the other what i presume whatever the problem is can be fixed at crewe and its dbcs closest depot so saves having to get it to toton and easier to get back to london, i assume it will come back down on the regular crewe electric to wembley light engine move.

 

[ExRes]

56091 & 56103 reported running as a pair on 0546 6Z18 Willesden to Westbury Down TC, no return trip though but a resumption of the Westbury - Southampton Up Yard recycled aggregate work

60055 is the reported loco on 0745 0Z42 Toton TMD to Willesden via MML

 

[BRX]

Looks a bit like 6z40 to Angerstein has come to a halt just west of brixton.

 

[Paulally21021]

Looks like 6Z40 has failed or in some kind of bother. 1Z99 at Wandsworth Road and 6Z40 is just outside of Clapham High St

 

[ExRes]

No problems for the 56s working 6Z18 Willesden to Westbury and 1515 6Z91 to Southampton Up Yard

6Z40 finally made it 283 late to Angerstein Wharf at 2310 to form 2300 6Z41 to Scunthorpe RG, the rescue engine is reported to have come from Tonbridge Yard

DBC 66054 is working 2208 6Z56 Kingmoor to Boston

 

[BRX]

Yes, rescued by a 66 from Tonbridge.

(I was all set up to film 60055 come past in the afternoon sunshine earlier. And it broke down just two minutes away!)

Things don't seem to be going very well for the 60s. Is this rate of failure still within the realm of normal "teething troubles"?
