I was surprised to see this working, 0Z59 Pengam sidings – Rugby. Showing as a route learner, basically same route as the Tesco train from Wentloog – Daventry.

The monthly 1Q15 Derby – Landore TMD test train. I hurried down the platform as the local train was arriving as I knew the test train had already passed through Old Hill. Got ready to film it with seconds to spare

Had the chance of an hour or so spare this morning and with 2 freights to see at Stourbridge thought it would be a worthwhile outing. All went well until the second train appeared much sooner than expected. Can’t win ’em all.

Part 2, 75069 arrives, 13268 departs, 75069 runs round & departs. 46045 doing a bit of shunting, but the diesel clips will be uploaded when steam videos completed. 46045 was stabled under the footbridge when I started filming the arrival of 75069, it was ticking over and sounded quite loud!!

First part, filmed from the footbridge at Kidderminster. A very cold and misty start to the day, three of the six locos in steam are seen in this video.

Up on the footbridge for the rest of my time at Kidderminster. It was very windy and not easy filming towards the sun when facing south, it was very bright and low in the sky.
This link will show all the Diesel Day photos in the gallery.
Here are the next set of photos:-
Over a year since my last post. Wonder how many I’ll manage this year??
Unfortunately I can’t get out for long these days, not that there is a lot to see around here. I did get to Kidderminster for the Winter Diesel Day and will sort out a video or two soon, time permitting. Due to lack of filming in recent months I have been spending time cropping frames from videos to add photos to my galleries. It’s a bit of fun, never seem to have time to watch old videos, but it’s easier & quicker to glance at a few photos of events in years gone by.
I’ve uploaded a few hundred photos starting from January 2023 and will try and start posting them here. It may be easier for some people to view them here rather than looking at my galleries. There were lots of interesting stock moves, units to scrap yard in South Wales etc. but doubt if there will be much of interest around here in the next few months, no railtours etc.
That’s enough of my waffling for now, I’ll post some of the Diesel Day photos here soon, along with a link to the gallery.
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.

1Q15 Derby – Swansea. Hadn’t seen 43013 since 2020, good to see it back in service.
