20 032 departs Long Marston today for the scrapman at Kingsbury :( Another 20 lost for more Class 66 & 70's.

Has Class 33 025 been withdrawn or has it just be stored for a few years by it's owner..? Can someone post a few recent pic's of this loco.

The team looking after this loco has a lot of work to make it "ex-works" condition. Good luck to them, wonder how much this will cost. Is 25 191 a celeb or just a normal "rat"..? http://www.25191.co.uk/restoration_diary.htm

Anyone know what is happening with this 56..? Will it be saved or go for scrap..?

This is a good spreadsheet to show how deep the stations are: http://www.ianvisits.co.uk/blog/2011/07/01/how-deep-is-every-tube-station-on-the-underground/

All 58's have had a short cruel life, such a waste of money withdrawing them so early on. Seems like 58 001 & 58 050 will not work again according to this list, hopefully they will come back & one can go to the NRM. Class 58 fleet survey... 58001 WNTS - Stored France 58002 WNXX -...

The curse of number 13 claims a 60. :( With 20 mins of life left: 60013 at Rotherham Steel Terminal early today en route to Toton looks to be terminal with reports that it has done a '60081' and put the internals of its engine out of the engine. Could this be a lack of service /...

This is how the carriage sidings look today, I did not take any of the pic's. http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=60341 Has anyone travelled on the DN Dep Line & Carriage Line Tunnel out of Euston..? :D

I did not have any involvement with this, such a shame loco's are left to rust for years making sure they cost more money to repair then scrap. :( Link: http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=60860 This depot is not the beehive of activity it was 15 years ago, now silent and...

This could make people happy.:D The power unit from crash damaged 66048 (James the Engine) has been removed and transferred into 66005 as part of the repair of the latter. 66048, devoid of most of its internals has been noted being shunted about at Toton.

Removed by road from Barrow Hill yesterday the remains of 56040 has been transported to Thomson's, Stockton for breaking up.

Is this the 1st loco with the DB branding on to get scrapped..?

A visit from 59202 to Warrington has resulted in someone writing "Scrap It" below the cab window. Maybe the person thinks the 59 is too "Southern". :D Why are the drivers doors not locked when parked up.?

What's the latest on 20 050 in the NRM York, will it be running later this year..? Pic:

I'm after a model of 33 008 in it's original 60's livery, anyone know where I can buy one.?

Yesterday this loco was outside next to the "Rocket" not looking to good. Wonder if it will get a makeover for the "royal wedding". :lol:

Any news on 33 008 returning to service in the near future..? When it does will it have it's nameplate added.

What a waste of money, why can't they be repaired and get used on other passenger or freight services, instead of awful 159's on the Waterloo - Exeter line why not use double header 60's. The same goes for the 90's & 92's at Crewe, totally horrified to see them parked up catching rust (why...
