Nice pictures!

You may well have seen me yesterday as I was working on the TPO set all day.

All the best,

No, sorry I don't think I did

I was on the DSBs all day, much prefer the 117

I did see one or two people at the end of the day when the canoes were being uploaded.

I was with Sandy all day except when we were stabling in Platform 2 for nearly a hour (3 times!) when I decided to chill out and stay on board while he did his stuff, I spoke to a few others down there and had a chat with the driver of the 31.

You can't miss me, I'm the young trainee guard with a blue escort estate with HE on the back

I'm hoping to go down there on Saturday as I'm hoping the 40 will be running so to get some 40 haulage done plus come down and travel with the guard, fingers cross it's going to be the Mk1s.

Great pics there Alex mate, the 31 is looking nice but could do with being on the MK1's instead of the DSB's

Sorry, not my idea. Much rather have the 117, saying that though I have yet to be put on the Mk1s, the TPO set or a Engineering train.
Although I intend to be there on Saturday to get some Class 40 haulage, hopefully with the Mk1s being used!

The Mk1's will be used if 40106 is out, she can't work the DSB's because she has a vacum brake

Hopefully she will be out then

By the way, NORD is going soon, think she's going back to France to be fully restored as the owner has decided to sell her - should free up some space unless someone brings in something else!

I think I may have seen you while us browncoats were in the office before we started operations!

Trainee guards aren't allowed on the TPO due to a different set of rules, im not sure where it stands with CE trains.

I might be working in Wansford box on Saturday or Sunday as a trainee signalman!

All the best
