I see the top HST pic was on the front of the Rail mag.

Yeah I heard that there was a few problems with the 225s, but the last time I heard it was still intact, although it can quickly change.

The HST was around for a few weeks until one of the power cars failed. Think there was a full set about a month ago but another power car failed. The 225 should still be in full rake now.

Probably correct about the BDAs, some could be reworked bogie bolsters that are usually used for the Hartlepool pipes. Odd to see the 66 here on this working as it usually goes via Tyne Yard and Stillington to Tees Yard for futher transport to Wales.

If you remembered all that from memory you deserve a prize.

I'm sure Wikipedia would provide a consise answer...

No problem, I'd forgotten about it anyway. Looks like it was an interesting day, wonder if they'll do another.

You should have said!

Depends which 158...

Basically a wagon mounted swing jib crane and a tamper. Usual engineering stock.

Good, I'll be on the first train from Barrow.

And I thought you said there wasn't much in Preston?

Will be passing through there in October, I might stay for a couple of hours to see what's happening.

It has one hell of a nice engine, there's a vid on you tube which shows it at its best.

The rest are now in Iran, supposedly helping "enrich" the "culture".

Used on a variety of things, usually the Haverton Hill - Sellafield nuclear trains, but some locos are stabled there overnight. I think either the 20 or 37 was due to be used on a steam loco movement today.
