RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted May 19, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) One found lurking in an old file - possibly overlooked as the front end is out of focus, but what is a bit of fuzz among friends/66 fans? Handy it has the big numbers on the side as the little ones on the front aren't legible. Edited May 19, 2023 by phil_sutters 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a bit of container traffic locally but not enough I’d have thought to have so many engines there ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was busy back in the coal days, serving Avonmouth, Portbury etc. Also often saw the green and white aggregate hoppers there. Since taking over Mendips, they seem to stable sets here bound for Avonmouth and Machen loading, as well as sets for the Tarmac contract that sees loading in places like Moreton on Lugg and Port Talbot. East Usk seems to have similar usage. The picture was taken on a Saturday, most locos were on empty sets ready for Sunday night/ Monday, but may also have gone to Westbury or Hinksey for ballasts. There's a fair number of 0Y workings between Westbury and Stoke Gifford before and after ballast trains, though sometimes the locos for ballasts come of Mendip stuff. From what I could tell, my train ex Tytherington was the only loaded one, and that was only waiting time in the loop.
