Update 962. Videos of 66172, 66018, 37175 & 37219 at Stourbridge, 21/10/14

Catching up with earlier uploads, this was an exciting day – the Colas 37s on RHTT duties round the Dark Side. It started at Stourbridge with the 2 steel trains and the 37s, then to Rowley Regis for the return of the 37s. As I waited for a train home I noticed the 170/153 combination & decided to film it, along with 172214/15.

Update 955 completed. Locos at Stafford, 22/10/14

All the loco videos have now been uploaded. I don’t keep a list of all the locos I’ve seen, well, I try from time to time – although it’s never up to date, but I’m sure I saw plenty of “cops”. 68008 was certainly a new one for me. The filming in the dark was “different”, less people to get in the way is a bonus. I’ll try a few more visits here during the winter months and hope to add more numbers to my incomplete list.

Sometime in the future I’ll have a browse through the remaining videos of units and see if any are worth uploading.

Update 955 continued. More videos at Stafford, 22/10/14

The rest of the videos of loco-hauled trains have now been uploaded, the last of which were in the dark. With the evenings getting darker I needed more practise at filming in low light conditions and the last few were on manual focus. Obviously not as good as in sunny conditions but it’s good to get the chance to film at somewhere other than Stourbridge Junction or Arley!!

The locos seen in this update are in the following order:-

66181
92032
92041
66430
66589
90045
66533
86612 & 86627
92043
66760
66702
92005
66124
66557
70014

I’ll add all the numbers, and links to the videos, on a calendar page soon. As there are so many numbers, I’ll put them in numerical order instead of the order in which they were filmed. I will look at the videos of “units” and if any of those seem reasonable then I’ll upload them as well, but there’s no hurry to do that!

Update 955 started. Videos at Stafford, 22/10/14

It takes a while to edit & upload the videos, then add comments after working out the train details. Probably do it all within the next few days. The videos start at 13.30 and finish just before 19.00 – so quite a few are in the dark.

Videos uploaded so far show:-
66109 & 350257
66138
66849
92041
66302
92002
92003 & 350242
66723
66124
90046
66501
86638 & 86607
37218, 37609 & 66566
68008
92002
66957
66098

I think the highlight was 68008 on a loaded train from Mountsorrell. If you want to see any of the videos before I add them to the list on the calendar page, they are the recent ones on YouTube:-
