I am most definately going have fun driving a GB 66 on coal when your route is completed, the detail is exceptional!
60091 leads 6B20 out of the Trostre reception sidings as the travelling shunter prepares to head to his next job.
Slys excellent Hunslet shunter, propels the recently arrived, loaded coils into the works
The train works down the connection line towards the Genwen Loop
After a quick chat with the Bobby to confirm Routing, we are signalled onto the Genwen loop, where we will crawl at 10mph to Genwen Junction and onto the Up District.
We pass under the A484 and Join the Up District. We will only be proceeding a short distance before changing ends and heading to Llandeilo jn to access the Mainline.
'091 draws over Techan Fach farm crossing, slowing to halt before changing ends
The Port Talbot "C" panel Signalman is on the ball today, we've got the road before we've climbed in the the trailing loco.
And we're off again, running Bang road down to Llandeilo Jn
We draw onto the Mainline for a short stretch before curving onto the Up Goods where we will change ends again
Not quite what we wanted but at least we arent stuck here.
We get held at PT257, probably waiting for Passenger service to come off the single line which runs from here to Cockett West Jn. Its hard to believe that this single line is the Mainline from Paddington!
And we were right, an ATW 158 departs the single line on its way to Carmarthen
Over Dyffryn West LC
And we begin to slow here, ready for the 20 mph restriction on the Loughor Viaduct. the restriction exists for freight trains only, passenger services can maintain the 75mph linespeed. Its a very rickety structure in reality.
And over Loughor viaduct ...
To be continued when RW is updated to allow me to lay more track!
