WNXX Website: Crompton on the road... Noted on the move by road today 33008 (MBDL) has been transported by road from the Battlefield Line to the East Somerset Railway.

This pic was put onto a Facebook page, just wondered what you think of it: These two women were seen walking down the trackside near Water Orton today, we noticed them as we went to cross-over the crossing to photo 6E41 and 6E07, they had walked reasonably far down the line, whether they...

Last week I visited Toton to see the stored / withdrawn Class 60's & 2 x remaining 58's, here are a few pic's:

Is 66 048 James The Engine still stored at Toton, WNXX says it is or has it been scrapped.

This is from the Daily Mail, A Class 67 has hit a few tree branches in Scotland due to the wind:

North of Derby station there is a track split just below a village called "Little Eaton", the track has been cut from the main network but is complete and very overgrown. It runs by the A38 to Rawson Green / Kilburn & stops just passed Park Hall Road. Was this a passenger or Freight...

Is there any updated news on how Class 58 016 is progressing at Barrow Hill, will it be ready for Diesel Gala's & Railtour duty this year..?

Found the below blog which tells us what's in & around the works: http://eastleighworks.blogspot.co.uk/

Visited Eastleigh for a few hours today: Never to work again 58's On & around the station:

I visited the GWR for their Diesel Gala on the 27th July & 2 things happened to the above loco's on their debut: Class 26 had a traction motor fire in the am & failed again during a double header on the way back to Toddington from Laverton Loop. Class 45 preformed fine till 5pm, that...

Such a shame these 58's can't come back to the UK and work where they belong, Wonder why they did not get overhaul's like the 60's instead of withdrawing them all. I bet they don't get used again & rust away like the ones at Eastleigh, 58 050 should be saved as this was the last loco to be...

Below are the times for today's Diesel Loco's convoy as they are going to Alton Diesel Gala which is this weekend: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U51925/2013/04/24/advanced

This morning I went to the above depot for any 86's & 87, I took these shots which 87 002 was the most difficult to get due to the wires etc & being at the far end, I did not see 86 101. Class 86 "Les Ross" was inside next to an 08: 86 701 86 401 86 213 86 259 87 002 Has there been...

I passed Eastleigh yard today heading North & saw there were quite a lot of loco's all parked up, 7 x 66, 4 x 73, 2 x NR 57, 1 x 60 (This is the Super Shunter so won't be going anywhere apart from around the yard) & 1 x 47 How can I find out the days & times of their departures if they head...

WNXX website has said the only Class 06 left and on Class 02 is leaving the Museum of Science and Industry, Manchester shortly. Does anyone know where the loco's may be moving to.? http://www.wnxx.com/content/310113/06003.htm

From WNXX Website: Prang... 66004 (WBAL), currently showing N/COL OK 00/00, has been involved in a locomotive/wagon interface at Bescot. Anymore info would be good & if any pic's can be added to see what the damage is to "004".

When a loco has been saved & is preserved, can the owner change the numbers back to it's either original or after TOPS number instead of being say a 47/7 or 47/8. e.g. 47 793 - used to be "D1778" :: October 23rd 1964 & "47183" :: February 1974 47 840 - used to be "D1661" ...

60 007 & 60 011 at Didcot today:

As the whole stretch of this line is 3rd rail, can someone tell me why Class 92's don't venture down to B/Stoke, Eastleigh / Southampton or Weymouth..? Is the loco's RA rating a 7 which makes them difficult to go on certain lines, why did the loco's not be made a RA rating of 5 so they can go...

33 053 is in need of a repaint soon:
