4V31 LONDON GATEWAY to Bristol Freightliner Terminal passed Willesden Jnc High Level at 09:26 with Freightliner 66562 - probably the first one.

4E26 Dollands Moor Sidings to Scunthorpe Redbourne Siding (empty steel wagons) passed Willesden Jnc High Level at 10:41 with DB Red 66230 - probably the 1050 one.

Struggling with something for the 1000 one - what did it look like? I see Freightmaster Mark is in attendance, though, so may have some ideas :D

I reckon the 1005 one would've been GBRf 66717 - 6V42 Wellingborough Up Sidings GB Railfreight to WHATLEY QUARRY GBRF - arrived Acton West 09:57, departed 10:08.
Other option would be another GBRf 66749 on 6Z18 WILLESDEN EUROTERMINAL GBRF to CALVERT GBRF (Acton Wells 10:05; Acton Main Line 10:12)

The wagons are pretty similar on both flows and those two locos look pretty similar from a distance too, so take your pick... ;)

I assumed by 'via the back' he meant via Harlesden & Kensal Green Junctions and came up with these:

0929: 4L89 70017 Basford Hall-Ipswich (Not 100% on this one)
1000: 6L35 90040 Warrington Arpley-Dagenham
1050: 6M45 66074 Dollands Moor-Daventry

I'm sure between us he's got the right answers :D

You're probably right... plenty to choose from :lol:

If I'm right, your three (in order) are a 70 on a container train, a DB Red 90 on (empty) car wagons and a very freshly painted DB Red 66 on the "water train" (brown metal closed containers) so should all be quite distinctive.

Did have a brief look, but was going to be a needle in a haystack job using the info I had available. Probably need someone who also saw them or has more specific knowledge of what was there at the time.
Thanks tim knew it was a long shot was wondering if one was 66150 it looked quite recently painted

Sorry if this too late, but it last worked the 17:07 Paddington - Frome. It then runs as 5J91 19:13 Frome - Bristol St Phillips (21:47). Coincidentally it was on the working that was requested above.

Can anyone id the 66/7 "inside" at Speke at 1400 today (Thurs) - those old coaches really are a nuisance blocking the view!

Also there was a FL 66 at Speke Junction at the same time. Anyone id?
