5Q80 Allerton – Newport Docks. The Class 319 was heading to the scrap yard. Fortunately 172343 on a train heading towards Birmingham cleared in plenty of time. Pity the Class 37 was just ambling along, a few minutes early & following a stopping train.

Couldn’t make it for the Class 37 yesterday but managed to film the 20s on 0Z20 from the SVR to Butterley. They apparently moved a railvac from Butterley to Bescot later in the day, then ran light to Tyseley.

I didn’t see the Rail Adventure power cars bring these to the SVR a few weeks ago but made sure I got to see them leave. They ran as 0Q43 Kidderminster SVR – Great Yarmouth.

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.

The Rail Adventure power cars were used to move old HST stock and are seen in the dark at Cradley Heath. One of the power cars is bowled by a DMU, I couldn’t read the numbers so not sure which were filmed. The workings were 5Z25 & 5Z26 stock moves from Laira to Chaddesden sidings. The Voyagers were working 1E67 Plymouth – Leeds, other was 1V66 Edinburgh to Plymouth. Numbers were 220023 on the first set and 221139+220002 on the other.
There is only a video for this as photos not very good quality in the dark, watch the YouTube video from the image below.
Just for a change I went to Old Hill, the Rail Adventure power cars were on 6Z76 Kidderminster – Walton Old Junction sidings.

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 previous 4 videos featured buses working services, this one shows Rough Pup on the miniature railway at the museum.
