Only one train filmed today, so not very exciting – but it was my first video of that loco.

I’m not surprised this wasn’t added to the blog, it was a rather dull event, and I dont just mean the weather – they just drifted past with very little noise on 6M56 to Crewe.

Yet another missed from the blog, with a couple of 37s as well. Four locos in less than an hour is good going for Stourbridge. The 37s on the test train were only running as far as Kidderminster so I was able to see them on the return as well. The 66s were on the usual morning freights.

I do wish I could keep my blog postings up to date, another one from January that wasn’t added! There was a problem of where to stand as the freight was due & a southbound DMU was likely to be in the way. As you can see the approaching shot was limited by the DMU and then the southbound train appeared before I could choose a better position, that is why I had to move away from the platform edge while still filming.

Some more videos I had uploaded but not published, what am I like!! Yes, it’s the usual Round Oaks, but there is nothing else local to see.

Winter probably isn’t the best time to try this sort of shot, especially when the wind is blowing the wrong way, but it was worth a try as 92214 was a visiting loco. First clip is approaching & departing from Northwood Halt, then second clip is leaving Bewdley & the climb to the tunnel. Final few seconds added at the end show D7029 & D5410 in the yard at Kidderminster. Managed to get Sutton, the baby elephant, in the shot as the train passed the Safari Park.

Another missing blog post from the start of January, the bonus was the Class 20 collecting the grotto stock, oh, mustn’t forget 92214 was working one of the services as well – lovely loco!

This is one of those (many) updates which was not posted in this blog. Doubt if we’ll see many 67s round this way now the 68s are taking over. I also filmed 172338 & 172211 before 67020 came through, but have put the 67 first in the playlist as that looks better than DMUs – know what I mean!!
