Hello Roger, Hope you are well and enjoying your days out,lovely pictures -thank you. Following on from my pictures of class 58s on coal trains at Oxford, here are two pictures of other freight flows. Always an interesting train to see was the Southampton docks to Crewe Ford car train,this one seen on 13 July with a new looking 66606.(sorry did not record the year). Thanks, Michael Forward
Now we see 31128 heading an MOD train from Didcot yard to Fenny Compton on 13 July 1988, consisting of short and long wheelbase Railfreight vans.
Many Thanks Michael
Belmond Pullman at Hinksey
Alan Peters
A couple of pictures of the Belmond British Pullman at Hinksey Yard where the train was serviced after working 1Z55 London Victoria to Oxford Parkway, Pullman liveried 67021 & 67024 are seen propelling out of the yard under the watchful eye of the shunter from my unique vantage point of 66850 on 07/03/25
In the rather un-grand setting of Hinksey Yard, 67021 and the prestigious Belmond Pullman train are propelled out by 67024. 07.03.2025, copyright Driver Alan Peters.

Longrock Castles

Good evening Keith/Roger/Jon,
Here are a few shots I got today (18.03) of the castle set HSTs between Marazion and Ponsandane. It was a lovely sunny day, but cold in the strong SE wind.
