RMweb Premium Steadfast Posted February 29 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 29 (edited) A couple from the Up Yard of 66004. 24/2/24 The yard lighting is taking over as the last of the day's light from the sun fades away over Westbury. Sitting in the Up Yard is green 'Climate Hero' 66004, which after a week in Wales working steel trains arrived on 0O12 with 66112, just in shot to its left. 66004 would next work 6W03 to Keynsham, which after running round at Bristol East Depot DGL would drop ballast between St Anne's and Oldfield Park. 27/2/24 Making the most of the green machine with another shot while it's down here, here's Climate Hero 66004 sat atop 4C95 for Tytherington. There's another twenty odd wagons out of view behind the weighbridge cabin, it's not quite the lightweight train it appears. The train will load for Appleford and run there as 6A08, before returning to Westbury in the evening. Jo Edited March 1 by Steadfast 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Kazmierczak Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) Looks like the green 'un (66004) is back at Westbury. I didn't notice I'd got it in a photo until I got home and looked through my snaps... Meanwhile 66068 toys with some wagons this afternoon in the up yard.

Peter Kazmierczak Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) On the way to Westbury, I stopped off at Newton St Loe. I'd just stopped the car when this appeared on the horizon. I just had time to change the ISO on the camera and get this grabbed shot. Fortunately, the adjacent A4 was clear of traffic. Oh, the train is today's 6A08 1205 Tytherington - Appleford, with 66112 at the helm, running 35 min late.

I It arrived Saturday on 0O12 from Margam. It's had varied week of ballast, yard shunts Tytherington and road learning and is Acton bound on 6M47 later, well technically early hours of tomorrow. From there, it could end up back here, on the Severnside bins, staying in the London area or going north on the Tinsley mud train, plus probably other options I've forgotten! I'm hoping it does the bins Monday or Tuesday next week. Jo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Steadfast Posted March 1 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1 Just to complete the set, here's 66004 for a third time, here waiting to go to London, as mentioned in my previous post. Not quite live from the scene, but not far off! Loco of the week, 66004 in its green Climate Hero livery sits on Westbury's Up Reception at W207 waiting to go to Acton with 6M47. The traffic comes from Whatley, and serves the Quattro concrete plant at Acton. Jo 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Kazmierczak Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 When the lotto first started, the Radio Times used to print a little box on one of the Saturday pages entitled "Winning lottery numbers". I think some folks complained as in their copies the boxes were just blank every week... The 66 in the down yard of Steadfast's photo (above) might be 66105 for all you numbers crunchers. I suppose no-one knows what the 70 in the down yard near the Colas Shed was, or the 70 sandwiched between 66846 and 70805 in the up Colas sdgs were yesterday afternoon?

Cheers, thanks Russ. There was a 70 on yesterday afternoon's Wentloog - Soton MCT which was nice to see (it used to be a solid 70 turn, then went over to 66s).

It started the day outside the driver's cabin though, next to the station. From memory I think the 70 outside the Elephant House was 803 yesterday. 67027 is the other end of the Elephant House, and 67023 is inside.
