Defo 50049 Defiance

Had 57010 which was required on the Friday (first off Kidderminster) as a positioning move for the Clayton at Bewdley. The 57 sounded quite meaty on the run up to the tunnel. Back coach to Kidderminster behind the Clayton so front coach with 50033 for the run back to Bewdley which was...

Defo quieter & more enjoyable on Friday. We left around 4pm Craziness was building then, people probably finishing work/school etc.

Luckily I’m only 20 mins from East Mids Parkway from Ashby-De-La-Zouch Still, as you say an early alarm call! Did think about waiting until just after 9am to join it but never had a 31 or 20 to Bedford or a 50 back up the Midland Mainline so it’s an early start.

I couldn’t tell you wether the mk3 set has a kitchen. The advert says a well stock buffet car & there’s no first class dining available

I’m on it just for the hoover entertainment The original 20’s were a side show Must admit I’m excited about the thought of 31128 & whatever Nemesis throw at us (Was hoping for 45112 but happy to settle for the 73

A bit of a drive for me from Leicestershire but I’m going for it. Have unfinished business with 50026 Indomitable so for me it’ll be a massive weekend

ELR but think that will be scratched soon Another one is the NYMR but that’ll probably be never unless I’m in the area Don’t visit that part of the country much to be honest 20 years ago for a birthday bash in Scarborough

Agreed. Borth is a beautiful area. Had a weekend stay there a few years ago. Afterwards we wished we’d spent the week there.

6 hours in Aberystwyth. Used to live just down the road from there & there wasn’t a lot to do back then

Passed me at Crewe at 09:26, around 4 hrs 20 late Arrival at Euston was 12:34, 287 mins late

Always looked at this page first if I had a day free & fancied spending the day at the SVR. Might explain why I’ve not been there for around 3 months

Used to do a West Mids day ranger every week back in the day. Used to cost around £20 Then the price went up to £27 so stopped using it. Going back some years though One I always use is a West Mids day tripper There’s two versions I think One is after peak time & the other is any time which...

Looking to visit as soon as the DMU or 33 is running in 2026. It’ll seem weird not seeing 45015 there. Plus to have a bacon butty & a brew at Shackerstone cafe

Class 50’s from the Midlands, down to & around London on the north London line before heading up to Norwich Then on the return back to the Midlands via the Fens I’d be very happy at that as I’ve never had 50’s at Norwich

Both the SVR & Great Central has short sections of cwr

Glad I was working now & not able to venture down to the South West. Kind of what I expected though

5, I recall seeing & photographing a fair few of them on Lawley Street workings at Water Orton & a few were on workings to Crewe from Southampton

Looks very interesting No coaches hauled but not a bad price

The SVR doesn’t need another large logo class 50, it already has 50007 Hercules, 50033 Glorious & 50049 Defiance. I’m kind of hoping it’s original NSE but at the end of the day however its painted goes to making the loco popular & therefore brings in revenue & helps towards the bills. I’m a...
