I hope pride of the fleet Black Prince gets her tender fully painted soon, it looks rather boring all black.

Cheers Daniel

Black Prince's tender does look rather boring. Doesn't look quite right to me either, maybe a red strip at the bottom like on the old tender would do the trick :lol:

Nice shots Craig 8-)

I was happy when I saw it was a Wrexham Skip

I thought it was 67029 at first but when it was a Wrexham I ran to platform 18 as I was on 11/12 at Clapham Junction.

I have not yet seen my shots yet as I fell ill saturday night and still bit rough but will be looking at them tomorrow

Was a good day and the weather was brilliant too

Cheers James. When I recieved that text from you about the WSMR skip passing Clapham I thought WTF! As the day went on, and after hearing about an Eastleigh-Crewe stock move, I thought it was the two were connected.

Hope you get better soon and look forward to seeing your shots. Was nice to see you again, albeit brief :lol:

When I first saw it I thought oh 67029 is on a 442 move but then it got closer it was 67015 so I thought it was on a 442 move , but it was not until later in the day someone said there was a coach movement from Eastleigh-Crewe which I know thats where Riviera trains have some stock and thought that be it as Riviera trains & DB get on very well

Anyway here is my shots from the day enjoy, http://james-bartlett.fotopic.net/c1659568.html I hope my wrexham skip shot will get veiws like my other one.

4 DRS 37's in Kent

wish I saw them now :cry:

Nice shots mate 8-)

like this one http://craigrailpics.fotopic.net/p56650982.html & the one with Mayflower ,

Did you see me loco 34081 92 sqn at all?

James

CraigS · 2 Mar 2009

Cheers James :smile:

I did indeed see 34081, however she was parked in an awkward position for photos

A few shots taken earlier this afternoon at Tonbridge featuring 47739/727, 66702/707, 73212/201, 73107/141 and a couple of GLVs. Not bad for 15 minutes!

Was 34081 in a bad state? I am hoping to join the group that owns that loco aswel as 34007 8-)

So you saw the two 47's, I hope they use them on there new Dollands Moor steel train its a nice livery on a 47 and I might be temped to get one when they come out for me model railway :lol:

James

CraigS · 2 Mar 2009

Best thing to do James, is check the Battle of Britain Locomotive Society website for any information regarding 34081. There's a big red box on the home page with tells a bit about its condition. If you join the BoBLS, you'll help get 34081 running again!

I did indeed see the two 47s. Like I already said to you, I've heard that 47s will work the new steel train to/from Dollands Moor and also 56s will work it. Shame it'll be dark for this new working though when it gets down here.

Calum · 2 Mar 2009

Nice shots Craig

Thought I saw you up at Sheringham but I wasn't sure.

34081 needs a 10 yearly overhaul before it can run again. It was taken out of service nearly a year ago.

And I'm pretty sure I saw you too, but wasn't sure either.

Well they were hoping to get 34081 fixed and have an extensionon on her so that they could run her one last time before the overhaul .

Its a shame overhauls are not like the old days,
