Few requests from last weekend. Can anyone help?
Sat 2 December
Can anyone id the rake between 43061 and 43075, which I believe failed in the Stevenage area around noon.
Locos on the RHTT at Baldock around 1245?
Monday 4 December
Was there a GBRf 66/7 at Ruislip (LU depot) around 1245? If so, which?
And there was definitely a pair of 20s there around 1610, by which time it was dark! ID anyone?
Wembley Chiltern depot (also around 1610) had a stabled 68 - 68012? Also a 68 + loco-hauled set, presumably waiting to go ECS to Marylebone. ID for the 68?
Thanks.
RHTT at Baldock was
3J33 10:30 Harringay Up Reversing Sidings to Harringay Up Reversing Sidings which I believe was
66009 (DB Red) +
66099 (EWS)
There were
two pairs of GBRf 20s at West Ruislip at the time you went past:
20096 + 20107 (both BR Blue) /
20314 (HNRC Orange)
+ 20905 (GBRf Blue/Yellow) - take your pick!
There were no 66/7 listed at that location on TOPS reports at 11:30 and 18:45 that day, and the only working to/from West Ruislip was the above Class 20s moving to Banbury later that night - so I don't think there was a GBRf 66 there (that's not to say there definitely wasn't). If you saw a flash of GBRf livery, it may well have been
20905 you saw?
Can't help with HST set (there's a pic of it here (not mine) - but don't think it helps ID the rake...
https://flic.kr/p/211kr3Y), nor the Chiltern 68s - the latter's workings don't show on TOPS, so with the info I have at least pretty impossible to ID which one was doing what (they all just show as "Wembley LMD" even when working the diagrams).
