Remarks: Better sun today, and I chose a side-lit angle to get a better illustration of the two-tone livery on the coaches. This is probably as good a photo of a complete trainset in WSMR livery that I'm likely to get, while it's still clean. 67010 was also turned in a rather complicated procedure at Crewe in order to pick the stock up the "right" way round from Axiom at Stoke-on-Trent in order for the dark band of the livery to be on the correct, outer end of the loco. DVT 82305, Buffet/First 10218, Standard open 12145, Standard open 12127, and 67010 propelling pass West Felton on the 2nd run of the day, the 5Z02 12.00 Crewe to Stoke-on-Trent crew trainer and equipment shakedown trial.
Remarks: One of the first shots of the first complete WSMR-livered train, as DVT 82305, Buffet/First 10218, Standard open 12145, Standard open 12127, and 67010 propelling approach Gobowen on the 2nd run of the day, the 5Z02 12.00 Crewe to Crewe crew trainer and equipment shakedown trial.
Remarks: The Llangollen Diesel Group's new purchase of D5310 arrived today at Llangollen from the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway. Having arrived from Ruabon, the low loader turned down Bridge Street to then reverse - as seen here - up Abbey Road in order to drive into the yard to unwinch the loco.
Remarks: 33207 “Jim Martin” passes Cefn Bridge with the 5Z72 08.51 Machynlleth to Crewe and Carnforth. BR Standard Class 4MT no. 76079 is simmering nicely on the rear.
