Livery and/or trains operated by them

Oh my god, you are all having it now!

You have all picked the wrong topic at the wrong time at the wrong place

I'm a shoo-in!

 

[gedj2]

excuse me if i'm being really thick, but is the name of the game to get a pic of a DRS loco in action and post, best one wins?

Ged

 

[GB]

It can be any DRS train, loco or operated service.

best one wins?

Essentially yes, but its rather subjective and the best one doesn't always win imo.

Ha Ha Ha, I guess we will see!

 

[Techniquest]

Indeed! May the best entrant win!

Now then, where have I put all my DRS photos...And why do I expect there to be a *lot* of 66s in this...

Wahey, I've just found the perfect entry

 

[TGVDUDE]

hmm I has a tough choice for this one...

I expect it to be a great contest once again this week

 

[mumrar]

I think I may have a go at this one as I keep forgetting to enter.

IanPooleTrains, good luck in your quest for second place :-P

 

[Techniquest]

I'm expecting an expertly-executed pan shot from mumrar then! As well as a ton of entries from Carlisle

Made my entry now, nice little twist on the subject

Pah, DRS to me will always be class 20s: I can’t really remember the Transrail/Trainload freight 31s and 37s on my local flask working, but as soon as the contract went over to the newly formed Direct Rail Services and 20301 to 20305 started to appear, sparkling like new from their refurbishment, I sat up and took notice. After 20306 to 20315 had been released to traffic and DRS gained a few of the ex-EPS 37/6s, all the developments after that made the DRS fleet too convoluted for my liking. That said, I’m much more likely to be entering a shot of a 37 or 47 than a 20…

 

[gedj2]

at the risk of being cheeky, I live in Wigan, were and when would be the best location to get a photo opp of any DRS loco or train?

 

[Techniquest]

Carlisle's probably your best bet for DRS action in that neck of the woods, since their depot's just around the corner.

 

[gedj2]

Cheers Techniquest, thanks for that, have heard they have a depot in Crewe, would that be truth or hearsay?

 

[Techniquest]

They do, just around the corner from Crewe station on the route to Shrewsbury. Don't know of any photographic opportunities though.

DRS mean 37's to me, that's all we get on our trains (apart from that one time a 47 randomly appeared...). In fact, I'm off to get between a pair now. That last sentence should really be in the "Railway Mile High Club" thread, I'm sure.

D'oh

I expect to be back next week though, especially if I do break my duck as looks to be genuinely possible this week [513]!

I must be really sad. I actually know the hyperlink required for the MHC thread [and Guess the Station to be fair]...

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Well, i didn't get the picture that I wanted (damn!)

But i got a hell of a back-up picture that I just uploaded

 

[GB]

Ive uploaded mine to make up the numbers. Not expecting much from it this week to be honest.

 

[gedj2]

alas this week won't be taking part, drove to DRS depot at Crewe on Friday night but couldn't get anywere to take a pic :cry:

 

[mumrar]

According to the uploader gubbins my entrant has been accepted, so I hope it's worked as I don't enter very often. Let battle commence when to Poll goes up, and may the best photo win!
