68015
I went out this afternoon for 37116 & a tree damaged 37254 on 5Z55 11:07 Bristol Kingsland Rd - Derby RTC test train, but the sun didn't want to play ball. Thankfully a call from Mr. C informed me that 60007 on 6E08 & 68015 on 6D95 were behind the 37s, so I decided to hang around & brave the ferocious wind to wait it out. I’m glad I did & I walked away with a nice photo of 68015. With it being named Kev Helmer, it was well worth leaving the house for. In my time working at Chiltern Railways I worked alongside Kev as we was both based at Birmingham Moor Street. A nicer bloke you couldn't wish to meet. A dependable railwayman & a family man who loved his rock music. We shared many a laugh & anecdote together. It was a great shock when he passed away suddenly from covid. Rest in peace Kev, you won't be forgotten.
