Whilst 60011 waits for its path on to the Branch for Westerleigh with '6B13' from Robeston the NMT,presumably '1Z12' heads north away from Bristol going to Birmingham and beyond.Quite a surprise this chance shot particularly with two of the more interesting pieces of traction in the same frame! Location is Yate Station nr Bristol..06 november 2009..

Latest Images(All types) -----Mainly digital but still a few slides.(Will be moved to respective galleries after about a Month) 		This was (For Me) the most interesting locomotive at this extremely well run Gala.Former Scottish 'shove-duff' 47714, yet another CREL-Castoff is seen rounding the bend at Kinchley Lane on '1A33' the 15:10 from Loughborough to Leicester-North.Looking rather faded after being stored for some time but now appearing to work and sound Ok.Visit here is only a short one and am led to believe is going to Old-Dalby test track as a shunter! ..12 september 2009..

Swanage Diesel Gala 2009 		At this time only running about 5 minutes down so driver probably did not even notice that his locomotive 47854 was well alight with a rear bogie-fire.As it came round the bend in the distance flames were about 6 feet high licking up the bodyside but of coarse now obscured by the bulk of the locomotive.Scene is Berkley nr Frome,understand train(1Z48) halted short of Westbury.Still in Westbury over 2 hours later,going to be a long night for passengers as booked arrival in Norwich was midnight,try 03:00am sunday now?Hope this is not the end for this game old warhorse..18 april 2009..footnote-----picture heavily enlarged to show the drama......
