July 2017

Picture
On a very dull 28 July 2017 morning, the New Measurement Train, powered by Class 43s Nos. 43013 and 43062 skirts King's Walk, Dawlish forming train 1Q18, the 05.25 Old Oak Common to Paignton via Paddington, Penzance and Teignmouth.

Picture
Dont get many pictures of the Harsco Track Technologies RGH-20C Rail Grinder set passing Dawlish. During the evening of 27 July 2017, vehicles Nos. DR79263 and DR79273 are seen emerging from Kennaway Tunnel running as train 6U03, the 19.00 Tavistock Junction Yard to Exeter Old Yard as a positioning move.

Picture
Its a long time since I've seen a sky quite as dark as this at Dawlish, especially in so called summer. (No I've not darkened it). Class 150/1 No. 150130 departs from Dawlish station on 25 July 2017 forming train 2T22, 15.53 Exmouth - Paignton, while an HST heads the other way forming train 1A91 the 16.02 Plymouth - Paddington.

Picture
Never a dull day on the Dawlish Sea Wall (train wise that is). GWR provided a little entertainment this afternoon (25 July 2017) with the running of light 0Z77, the 12.51 Old Oak Common to Laira, formed of green-liveried No. 43188 and FGW blue No. 43151 coupled back to back. Seen approaching Kennaway Tunnel.

Picture
Well, todays (25 July 2017) mission was to capture the green Class 143 (143603) working with a blue 143. The green set os seem working with GW 'local-lines' liveried No. 143621 and departs from Dawlish forming train 2T19, the 14.24 Exmouth to Paignton. What a difference a colour makes.

Picture
I think this green-liveried Class 143, No. 143603, has its own sun generation plant, again, out of the total dull, came a burst of 2 mins of sun just when it came through Dawlish this afternoon, 23 July 2017. With 153333, it forms train 2T24, 16.23 Exmouth - Paignton.

Picture

On Saturday 22 July 2017 the first of Great Western Railways Class 143s entered service painted in the new green livery, when set No. 143603 worked on the Exmouth-Paignton/Barnstaple route. Working with Class 153 No. 153373, the set is seen approaching Kennaway Tunnel, Dawlish with the 14.23 Exmouth to Paignton in a VERY lucky flash of sun. This is in fact the second of the class to be painted green, No. 143620 was done a couple of weeks ago in Bristol but has so far not returned to Exeter.

However, this train failed at Exeter St Davids and the 143 was returned to the Donkey house for extra carrots. It later returned to its roster. This is in fact the second of the class to be painted green, No. 143620 was done a couple of weeks ago in Bristol but has so far not returned to Exeter.

Ever since 43002 emerged in retro livery last year, I've been trying to get it on the 'up' emerging from Kennaway Tunnel and approaching Dawlish station in the early morning with the sun out. Well, today, 17 July 2017 my luck was in. Thanks to a 'tip' it was leading 1A12, the 07.40 Paignton to Paddington, I managed this snap. The train consisted of et OC52 with 'celebrity' No. 43027 on the rear.

And its still ruddy raining. Newly named GBRf 66775 'HMS Argyll' emerges from Kennaway Tunnel, Dawlish on 11 July 2017 running as the 0Z32, 15.52 Saltash to Eastleigh Depot, the loco previously operated as 0Z31 15.30 Devonport Navy Base to Saltash, this move was required as it was unable to cross from the down to the up line at Devonport.

HMS Argyll namig - GBRf 66775

I think I would be correct in saying its VERY rare to find a picture of a main line locomotive at Drakes Halt, deep inside Devonport Naval Base, well behind the usual tight security lines. Today, 11 July 2017, I was invited by GB Railfreight to attend the high profile unveiling of the HMS Argyll nameplate and ships number on the side of immaculate Class 66 No. 66775. After arriving yesterday, the loco was positioned at Drakes Halt platform, where in teaming rain the cast plate was unveiled by the Commanding Officer of HMS Argyll, Commander Toby Shaughnessy. The loco now also carries a White Ensign on both cab sides and a cast ships crest on both sides of the large cab.
