43306 & 43320, also 68015. Rowley Regis, 12/11/23.

43306 & 43320 on a test run from the SVR. After running to Worcester earlier in the day they are seen here on 0Z44 Worcester TC – Tyseley sidings. The train following it was a Chiltern London train. I wasn’t sure if it would be a unit or a 68 set as RTT showed no unit/loco number, but as you will see it was 68015.

Wythall Bus Museum. 29/10/23. Part 6.

I’ve managed to find some “photos” for the final part of my visit to the museum. Using a camcorder the obvious thing is to record moving objects but I filmed various vehicles parked outside the museum and cropped a few frames to make some photos. I won’t list registrations here but have added them to the images.

The larger photos can be viewed in my photo gallery, obviously no video with this post but you can have a quick look through the photos further down the page.
