January 2016

Picture
Sundays passing. Sunday in Dawlish during the winter is usually quiet, but today (31 January 2016) this was shattered by a pair of powering Class 56s Nos. 56301 and 56098 hauling a rake of Great Western Railway HST stock as train 5S56, the 11.37 Laira to Kilmarnock. The train is seen storming through Dawlish station. The formation was somewhat unusual as it did not have a barrier vehicle on the rear.

Picture
70808 approaches Dawlish station on 31 January 2016 powering empty ballast hoppers as train 6C25, 09.25 Truro - Westbury.

Picture
Always nice to see a '60' on the Sea Wall. As a part of todays Dawlish Loco Hauled Gala event, Colas Rail Freight No. 60047 is seen emerging from Kennaway Tunnel with Cornish engineers train 6C22, the 13.02 Par to Westbury.

Picture
Where did the sun go! After a nice bright morning the dull returned to Dawlish on Saturday 30 January 2016 for train 7C21, the 08.53 Par to Westbury, powered by Colas Rail Freight Class 70 No. 70804 and formed of a crane and loaded ballast wagons.

Picture
Not a day for holiday makers to visit Dawlish, unless your a Class 70 fan!. Currently the last of the build, No. 70810 hurries west through Dawlish on 29 January 2016 powering train 6C24, the 11.45 Westbury to Truro Yard, formed of five loaded Network Rail ballast Wagons.

Picture
The return of the first green-liveried Class 150/2 on the Dawlish Sea Wall came out a bit better that I thought, showing the January nights are drawing out. 150232 leads a six-car set out of Kennaway Tunnel forming train 2F45, 16.12 Paignton to Exmouth, the 150/2 was to be detached at Exeter St Davids.

Picture
Just to record the railway history. The first Great Western Railway green-liveried DMU No. 150232 ventured along the Sea Wall for the first time on 28 January 2016, forming the rear two vehicles of the 14.24 Exmouth-Paignton (attached at Exeter). Taken almost direct into the sun, so sorry for quality.

Picture
What a difference a day makes with the weather in Dawlish, after yesterdays dull, its sunny today for the train of the day, Direct Rail Services Class 37s Nos. 37069 and 37609 hauling flask support cars 9428 and 9419 emerge from Kennaway Tunnel on 28 January 2016 forming train 5Z40, the 08.20 Keyham Devonport Royal Dockyard to Crewe, following delivery of a flask wagon to the dockyard the previous day.

Picture

Picture
Well, the only thing to brighten a dull January day (26 Jan 16) in Dawlish is to see the bright colours of a Colas 70 (70801) heading west as OC49, 08.00 Westbury to Plymouth via Cornwall drivers route training special. Enjoy.

Picture
The highlight of the day on 22 January 2016 on the South Devon Sea Wall was Colas Rail Freight Class 60 No. 60047, running light before dawn from Westbury to Truro, the '60' collected RailVac vehicle KFA No. 709515004-8 and then formed train 6X54, 11.55 Truro to Westbury. In low winter sun the train is seen skirting the River Teign approaching Teignmouth Harbour at Shaldon Bridge.

And yet another Bristol 2015 green power car - we now have 4 at the latest count, Great Western must have ordered way to many overlays, or perhaps they don't know its now 2016. 43192 has now emerged into traffic carrying this pointless livery. Would have been far better to had applied the stylish GWG green to more power cars and sets, as lets face it, they are going to be working on GWG services for a long time. 43192 leads 1A87, the 14.13 Paignton to Paddington out of Kennaway Tunnel on 19 January 2016.

Lost Boys 68-88

In 1968, when BR employed the first group of Fireman after the demise of steam, the new grade of Secondman, later Drivers Assistant was introduced, this grade continued until 1988 when the Traincrew concept was introduced. 'Boys' taken on in this era included a number of 'well-known' names of today, with many moving on from the footplate line of promotion to management, technical and other jobs within and outside the rail industry. Over the years this group has become known as the 'Lost Boys', mainly due to Former Exeter Secondman Nick Edwards (now a senior member of the DB-S traction team at Doncaster), Driver Robert Scot now with the Railway Operations Group and Chiltern Driver Steve Roast forming a small unofficial group. Originally a 'Lost Boys' headboard was made and carried by a few trains. On 15 January 2016 the group were honoured when UK Rail Leasing applied the cast nameplate Lost Boys 68-88 to Class 56 No. 56098 in a ceremony at the UKRL depot in Leicester. The plate was unveiled by Nick Edwards and Steve Roast. The images below show the unveiling and the cast nameplate.

Dellner Coupling fitted 37884

37884, soon to be joined by 37800, owned by Europhoenix and operated by Rail Operations Group (ROL) have been fitted with a drop-head Dellner coupling, installed at a compatible height for attachment to EMU and DMU stock. Inside the Class 37, brake translator equipment has been installed, thus allowing the locos pneumatic brake valve to be able to operate the electronic brakes of modern MU stock, eliminating the need to haul stock around the network in an un-braked mode. On the front of the 37 a jumper socket is provided which is used to connect to the train. The coupling is seen in its lowered position. The Dellner has been specially manufactured and is of a suitable strength to haul up to a 12-car formation. Other coupling heads such as BSI and Tightlock are also available.
