I noticed an 88 was on the Berkeley and decided to see it down the Junction, as it would be a better shot than Cradley. Arriving at Cradley a 153 approached with a blue liveried unit behind it, so I filmed that – 153366 and 153326, with 170510. Then at Stourbridge I was hoping a unit would clear before the Berkeley came through, fortunately 172336 cleared in plenty of time as the locos approached

After some light, then loaded test runs at the SVR, Royal Scot returned to Crewe. Fortunately it was booked into Rowley loop so I could see it twice!

Had to delay taking KC for a walk as 1Z30 Bristol – Newcastle with a pair of 50s was certainly worth seeing and due through Cradley soon after 8am. It was cold and a bit dull, the focus was a bit iffy as the train sped through – but glad I didn’t miss it, or get bowled!!

The rest of the “freights” at Stafford, although two shots are of light engines and a unit shot as well. Not so interesting to most people are the various other units seen, I filmed loads of those but haven’t time to edit and upload them – maybe one day.
Locos seen – 66768, 90010, 66170, 66541 and 66024, also units 350122 and 390154
