Photos, Units at Stafford part 3, 20/11/19 (old event)

Leave a reply

Final set of unit photos from this day. Some are a bit blurry, probably due to speed of train and the light fading, but does help to add a number to my list – as I don’t see much of the West Coast main line electric units or Voyagers.

Numbers of units – 350125, 350104, 390118, 350244, 390009, 390043, 390044, 221120, 221116, 221119, 350267, 390114, 350256, 220015, 350374, 350377, 390154, also DR73121.

More units filmed on the above date, it does get a bit repetitive but does help the time pass a bit quicker as I wait for the next freight. Interesting to try and get a “reasonable” photo from the video though.

Numbers seen in second video:- 220002, 390049, 220015, 221104, 350235, 350122, 390040, 350374, 350255, 390104, 390117, 390112, 220008, 390121, 220009, 350118 and 220025.

Photos and Video, 139001 and 57312, Stourbridge Junction 14/02/20

2 Replies

Great start, 139001 approaches as 57312 rounds the bend, perfect timing. The train started at Tyseley and after running round at Stourbridge the 57 hauled the saloon to Round Oak, probably surveying the route in connection with improving the local rail services. My final clips are at Cradley Heath, I wanted to film from the other platform – but couldn’t risk it!! 172215 and 172343 also seen.

Photos and Video, 37521 and 37688, Stourbridge 13/02/20

Leave a reply

At last, something interesting round the Dark Side for a change, seems such a dead time of the year! 37521 went to Kidderminster to collect 37688 and take it to Crewe. As usual with me these days, a unit or two, don’t know how much longer the 153s will be in action in this area – so had to film them. As for the Dodger, I was hoping to film it then pan round as the 37 approached, but that didn’t work.

139001, 153334, 153356, 170511, 172213 and 172222 also seen

First set of photos at Stafford. I’ve never kept a list of units that I’ve photographed but over the years it must’ve been all of the local ones. As I work my way through these I will try to update my “units” number lists but it will take a long take to work back through the last 15 years or more. Sounds like another winter project!

Units in this post:- 350255, 350130, 350240, 350109, 390118, 221139, 221120, 390008, 390148, 350264, 390042, 350232.

Attempting to list photos by number

Leave a reply

This was a project I started years ago, but didn’t get very far with it. At that time I just had two galleries, but now with YouTube as well it gets more complicated.

I now try to update this blog when videos are uploaded and with very little action at this time of year there has been time to try this photo index project again.

You can see how it looks in my other site with a few numbers from recent videos of locos, DMUs and EMUs listed. With the loco list I have linked a couple of locos to gallery photos and also added single images to briefly show a loco. As to the number itself, it links to any relevant posts within this blog which should link to photos and videos.. It can only get better with time!!

Take a look at this page and follow links.

Photos and Video, 68015, 57305, 68013 and 66549, Dorridge 06/02/20

Leave a reply

After seeing the Class 60 at Smethwick (in previous post) I headed for Dorridge. The train behind mine would have a 68 and I had time to stop off at Solihull to film the 68 and still hopefully get to Dorridge in time to see 57305 pass through – better shot at Dorridge for that, and a 68 pulling away always sounds good. Besides the locos, 172337 and 165002 were also seen.

The usual 6E08 Wolves – Immingham plus 170507, 170514 and 350118. The 60 was the last train seen, but I usually put the loco as the first clip in the video.
