Thanks very much ScottL. I went up to Euston tonight and got some great pictures :D Your help is much appreciated

Can anyone confirm if DRS liveried 90034 will be on the pretendolino set out of Euston tonight (09/05)? Also what time does it depart? I thought I'd read it was 18:46 but saw on another site yesterday that it's 19:02. Which end will the loco be on. London end or Birmingham end? Sorry...

Can anyone please confirm the identity of the Anglia 82 that was sat outside Ilford depot yesterday? I'm guessing it was there for maintenance/tyre turning. many thanks

92046 has always been the one that got away for me, not helped by the fact she was impounded somewhere in Crewe EMD out of public view for goodness knows how many years. I know she was moved to Brush Traction a while ago, and want to make a trip to finally tick her off if it is worth my while...

Thank you very much :)

Can anyone please confirm the identity of the West Coast liveried 47 that was sat at Kings Cross yesterday lunch time? I couldn't see the number from the platform and what with all the building work going on around the station I couldn't get in a position to see the number. Thank you

Can anyone please confirm the identity of the West Coast liveried class 47 which was sat at Kings Cross this afternoon?

Many thanks Stigy. Your answer is much appreciated :smile:

I'm thinking of going to Clapham Junction for the day on Thursday. It always seems busy with spotters there. Can anyone tell me is it worth spending a day there? Does much freight pass through on an average day? Also what are facilities around the station like for food etc. Any good pubs for...

Is Bounds Green depot worth a visit? Is it close to the underground station? Can you actually see anything of the depot from public areas or is it a waste of time going up there? If anyone has been up there recently I would appreciate any information / advice as I am considering a trip.

Whilst reading the new edition of Railways Illustrated I read that in January 1978 47256 received an odd all over green repaint. This was carried out by Cardiff Canton and was apparently due to fire damage. It was only short lived as in May it went through Crewe works and emerged in blue...

When I was younger I always had a soft spot for this particular loco. I've been looking at some old photos recently and have found quite a few of her at Crewe station, from probably Summer 1994/95. Last I heard she was stored in Basford Hall. The latest picture I've been able to find of her...

Thank you both for your info. I know what my targets are now :) I will certainly let you know when (or if) i complete my little challenge. 82224 i'll keep a special eye out for. I'm pleased to have already got the 2 HP liveried 43's in the bag, it sort of makes up for missing the 'Bond...

As a bit of fun i have set myself a little challenge i hope to complete by the end of the year. I want to get a photograph of every FGW and EC class 43, Class 91 and EC DVT's. Can anyone tell me if there are any stored members (and storage locations) of these classes which i may not be lucky...

Thank you all for your information :)

When i passed Ilford depot yesterday morning i saw an old Virgin liveried mk3 carriage sticking out from behind an EMU on the furthest track away from the running lines. This was at the Romford end of the depot. I couldn't see a number but could quite clearly make out the 'Virgin' logo so i'm...

Thanks Eagle :)

I saw 90006 on Thursday carrying the name Modern Railways Magazine. After checking my note book i noticed i also saw this loco on the 18th May however i have the name Roger Ford listed as being carried. Have i made a mistake or does the loco carry both names (one on each side) and i have just...

Thanks for the info. The picture is taken from some distance and from what i can see it has been caniballised for parts already. It certainly looks in a sorry state.

Great picture. Thank you
