I'm a unit fan, but also a fan of Diesel locos. Umad?

Hi! Just joined to support my beloved class 43's!

37515 is now being stripped at BH.

http://www.daves-trains.fotopic.net/p64083668.html

Quote from WNXX.com ".....From Long Marston and into preservation is 37029 (ADFL) noted on a low loader, again on the M42, heading north from Long Marston to Barrow Hill for a repaint" 2 words to describe that move MY LORDZ, fingers crossed for 029 to return to BR blue with red bufferbeam,scottie dogs and roller blinds.

37518 may now be looking for a new home. But don't hold me to that.

37518 has been removed from the Swanage gala line up. Its been replaced by 37264 from the SVR. So the line up now stands at: 08436, 31271, 33035, 33103, 33111, 37264, 47580, 50026, 56101 & 73119.

50008 has been outshopped today. http://d7606.fotopic.net/c1821522.html and only needs a week at the most back in shed for the FINAL touches

The nightrider locos will be 33109 for the first part and 37109 for the second part.

20142 is back at BH after being aborted from going to the NVR on the back of a low loader.

50008 has apparently failed with heat exchanger problems and 37418 is rumoured to have low oil pressure. I am not sure if this is true or not.

I've heard its been put on the back burner whilst West Coast continue to get a fleet up to strength. Apparently 37712 being ,very,slowly repaired.

One interesting thing,never knew about 214,any idea whats happening with that Ross (in the background)

Yeah saw that the other day,looks like new :D

I think so. Found this http://jonathanmcgurk.fotopic.net/p63423430.html 37685 looks much much better now.

Thats great news,not! Is that the last set of Valenta HSTs then?

Thats great news! Is that the last set of Valenta HSTs then?

Grand Central have sold their HST sets to Angel trains and will lease them back with MTU power units fitted.

20142 will be hauling the NVR gala convoy and will run in place of 47375. That makes 2 blue 20s working at the gala.

I know what the livery will be but have been swarn to keep it quiet for a while. It deffo wont be marroon though, as after a while it fades and looks tatty.

What livery for 832 Ross,staying Maroon?

MSC 4002 should be outshopped in april in a lovely coat of MSC Sheffield Green

D832 will be getting repainted at the WSR this year.

If 37418 is fixed it will do the nightrider with a 50. 50 till 22:00 and 37418 there after

News has reached me that the dreded loadhaul livery has returned to preservation....in the form of 56098(god help us!)

I'll get the loco roster as soon as its published and the timetable.

I'lll post it in the events in a couple of weeks Ross. Cheers,

Mark

ELR diesel nightrider event March 6th-7th with 37418 being the loco for overnight.

47841 is waiting to leave Eastleigh.

cheers mate that will be great. If you know the Portsmouth area I live near Cosham train station and I know freight services go through there often.

I will try my best to post time as and when i get them,although it has to be said DRS locos are rare at Portsmouth itself,to say the least. The closest the are likely to get are Eastleigh/Southampton.

As a big DRS fan can someone tell me when any diesel locos are coming through the Portsmouth area please.
