Red Pen 2013

[Peter Mugridge]

A productive day for me today, 11/11/13:

S7 units:

21307/8
21353/4
21365/6 - thus recovering half of the misses on Friday ( the other was in Hammersmith depot ).

Then, my first few 377/6s:

377 603
377 604
377 605
377 606
377 607
377 618

 

[theblackwatch]

A couple of new locos for haulage today: 08663 & 08822 at St Philips Marsh depot.

(I suspect they were also new for '33056' who was also on the same train as me.)

They most certainly were

08822 was a winner for me. I had 08663 on a railtour up the Tamar Valley branch (T&T with 08645) many years ago.

Not much going on for most of this week, but had a good day on Friday for new ones:

11-Nov-13: S7 unit 29 (21357/358) travelled

15-Nov-13:
S7 unit 25 (21349/350) travelled
319423 travelled
444024 travelled
450019 travelled
321440 travelled

18/11/13:

377 609
377 611
377 613
377 614

So I'm at 10 bashed / 16 remaining so far...

Huh, my subscription for this thread has disappeared too. How bizarre...Anyway, my latest victories from an excellent WMDR (surprisingly it was only my third one this year, I had thought I'd done more than that!) are as follows:

18th November 2013 - WMDR round 3

168002 (just 168003 to get to clear the class, unfortunately it didn't come back to Birmingham in the afternoon after all . Still, finally got progress with the class! )
350110
350113 (5 more /1s to get now)
350237
350260 (still too many of these things to go)
390002
390124
390131 (22 more 390s to get now, got 13 of them in the last couple of months )

Winner stations, well there was just one with Stratford-upon-Avon Parkway. It leaves just two in the WMDR area to get, Bordesley and Polesworth. Both rather awkward...

Rather happy with that result, a lot of festering was done in places but every time I do a WMDR I get closer to clearing the area for stations and trains. If I have my way, December will see me have an even bigger clear out

Had a few hours in Bury yesterday before our game at Gigg Lane would be rude not to visit the East Lancs to scoope in 50015 also scored trams 3033,3044,3011,3008 & 3034

 

[87015]

Five days in France produced 46 winners;
14x7200/15000/22200 'broken nose' electrics
4x8500
17x67400 diesels
3x27300 in an hour out of Montparnasse
8x26000 'sybic' 125mph electrics

 

[theblackwatch]

An extremely successful weekend, with 08444 and D3452 scored at Bodmin on Saturday. The previous day in London saw me clear 3 unit classes - 317, 466 and 482. Also, I managed trips on 3 of my last 4 Class 321s so down to one of them, and got my first two 377/6s in the book.

NB - outright winners are logged as "new" and as for anything else that gets a mention, the note beside the unit says exactly why it features in my list of notables for the month

Many of these were picked up on random travels around London or in the case of most of the S-7s, on the daily commute. The only "trips" of any sort have been on the 3rd & 10th when I spent a couple of hours each time trying to knock out my last 444s and 450s that I need for haulage, and on the 23rd when I specifically went looking for the few C2C units that I needed either for haulage or photo (down to three on each front there). There will be more Jubilee line bashes in the weeks to come as I am still chasing the elusive 96114, my last 1996 ts to ride. Checking my records there's still numerous underground units needed for the "ideal/magic" 10 miles so plenty to do there in idle London moments. Let's see what December brings us..

96114 was out yesterday on diagram 361; can't remember what unit it was paired with though!

 

[Keith Jarrett]

Thank you. At least I know that it's out and about rather than languishing in Stratford depot. 96114 was reported paired with 96075 but saw that one yesterday paired with 96014

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Yes, I saw 96014 yesterday. I do hope you didn't see that southbound at Wembley Park at about 15.50 and then give up - 96114 was roughly five trains behind it...

[Keith Jarrett]

I thought that I had captured all the milestones for November when writing up my post yesterday. However, one slipped the net in that I managed to edge a second 319 over the 2,000 miles mark. 319458 was the lucky culprit on the 14th of November. My first, 319443, tipped over the 2,000 miles mark back in April 2010.

Cleared my main line DEMUs with EMT's 222013 out of York yesterday evening - I hardly expected my last Meridian to be on a York-Doncaster move!

 

[33056]

Got L94 (7752) and 9600 yesterday on a most entertaining tour, also of note was getting "Black 5" 45407 into my 1,000 mile club the previous day.

 

[Techniquest]

Wow, what a flipping fantastic day I had!

2nd December 2013

168003 (last 168 finally got in the book! )
172337 (last LM 172 in the book, 2 more Chiltern and 3 more LO ones to go )
180108 (last 180 FINALLY got, 10 years and 2 months - give or take a couple of days - after my first trip on one! )
350233
350249 (45 to go, including the 350/3s and 350/4s)
390008
390119
390125 (now down to 19 more to go, gonna be hard to get them soon!)

Two classes cleared (168 and 180) today, what a great result!

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Thank you. At least I know that it's out and about rather than languishing in Stratford depot. 96114 was reported paired with 96075 but saw that one yesterday paired with 96014

For info, 96114 is currently with 96035 - saw it out and about again today.

Talking of today, 09/12/13, here is my crop of haulages:

S7 units:

21377/8
21379/80
21387/8

Plus...

377 610
377 615
377 619
377 623

Did well to get those 377/6s as it involved a lot of chasing about across South London ( see the 377/6 thread ) and the Vodafone network was down meaning I had no gen; fortunately I had just purchased the new NRTT so I had that on me as a back up and was able to correctly deduce two of the relevant diagrams! Luckily the service didn't fall apart through the Balham train failure until after my bashing had concluded.

 

[33056]

66004 and 66082 scored yesterday which go a little way towards making up for missing "Braunton" and Met 1 in the past week.
