RHTT 2024

[Jacob Porrett]

Definitely 37254 since it ran as 0M38 to Derby R.T.C. earlier.

== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: 25 Sep 2024 ==

Edit: Timed to be 37254, 37405 and 37116

== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: 25 Sep 2024 ==

Edit 2: Ran as 37254, 37405, 37116 and 37219. All colas owned except 37405

37405 on the York RHTT this year then? Not helping with the Noth Wales circuit?

 

[Joshua Stokoe]

37254/37116 set for tomorrows move York to Scarborough on RHTT test. 66847/848 on York to Sheffield via Masborough shakedown

Wasn't intended as nasty comment - simply explaining that 20s aren't a sensible proposition. If it's what you'd /like/ to see that's absolutely fine - but not overly likely haha!

In which case I apologise for jumping the gun!

Leaves seemed to start coming down a bit earlier this year here in the south west. I normally get a calm couple of weeks when school goes back at the beginning of September, but was out with the blower almost straight away this year. Surprised they’re only just starting to run trains, I would have expected some leaf issues already.

Presume the Bristol area RHTTs (from Hereford) will be 66s as previous years?

Yes, this year, the Swindon circuits are COLAS 66 and 67s. Cotswolds use the 67s and Severnside use the 66s.

Any professionals think 3J51 will start on Sunday? Paths are VAR'd

I don’t know what you mean by professionals. Good chance 3J51 will start on Sunday since most of them kick in for the first week of October.

It appears the rhtt is still broke at aintree .

The issue is if it does they won't have enough locos to do 3S20 as well

Hopefully the tractors font fail like on the shakedown run haha

Font fail? What is that?

I wouldn't be suprised if 37254 or 116 disgraced themselves early on. They aren't maintained well enough to be doing RHTT

Usually just 1 97 on the RHTT to Machynlleth (annoying because this means it doesn’t go all the way to Aberystwyth, which it should really as Bow street and Llanbadarn bank are awfully slippy).

A pity that we don’t have more RA5 locos available with ETCS, hmm…

[for context, the DRS and Colas / HNRC 37s were at one point earmarked for fitment]

 

[MegaThrashRail]

They could just start either 3J51 or 3S20 later...

They sent a 66 and used a wheelskate in the end, cleared the line about 12.30pm, 5mph from Aintree to Kirkdale. Here's a pictured I managed to grab just after the MPV had been dropped off.

Sorry. I meant won't fail. Autocorrect has failed me.

Please could you share the evidence you have about their (lack of) maintenance.

 

[The_Van]

Literally just left Broxbourne no wagons there yet

Presumably we'll be getting the class 69's again this year

 

[MegaThrashRail]

3J51 is activated. 3S20 'll probably start today as well?

Not enough locos for 3S20 to run

 

[MegaThrashRail]

3J51 is cancelled

 

[XCTurbostar]

None will run today.
Shakedown runs are in now:

There are also paths in for COLAS locos from Millerhill SS and Bescot, no 37s are in either of these locations.

 

[Elliott TC]

Does anyone have the allocations for tomorrows 0Z20 1713 Bescot Up Engineers Sdgs to York Thrall Europa?

It will be whatever runs 0Z19 inbound from Doncaster Sidings. No 37s are currently near Doncaster.

 

[Lewis LJ]

0Z11 will be 66848 returning from Millerhill and 0Z20 could be the Colas 66 that ran on 0Z66 To Doncaster on the 27th, alternatively i THINK there might a 56 right now in Donny Colas Sidings, so could be that but who knows, no doubt a pair of sheds will reunite just in time for the South Yorkshire circuit.

 

[Elliott TC]

ah right thanks

56094 is at Doncaster Belmond. No other 56s are in the Doncaster area.

 

[CDM Transport]

I predict 0Z61 Barrow Hill to Derby RTC will be a convoy of up to five HNRC locos. I also predict they will head down to York in the evening of Monday. If anyone has any allocations for 0Z61 please let us know.

56094 will be required to work the Bitumen train (6M43 and 6E43) on Monday and potentially other days of the week so would not be cleared to head over to York for RHTT
