D1015 at Hall End on 17th Sept 21'
D1015 Western Champion approaches Wickwar leading 6M42 0920 Avonmouth to Penyffordd Cement empties, with 66719 tucked inside, on 17th September 2021
This was my first sunny shot of 6M42 at this location this year despite many attempts, and this more than made up for all of the previous dissapointments!!
D1015 had worked light engine from Kidderminster to work 6M42 as far as Gloucester as a loaded test run.
This had been held at a red signal at Westerleigh Juction, for no apparent reason, and had a Voyager up it's backside as a result. I guessed that it would loop at Charfield to let the Voyager passed, so I headed to Gossington for a second shot!.... flic.kr/p/2mrGESq
Update: Unfortunately D1015 'Western Champion' did not pass its mainline test run on 17th September, apparently due to a seized engine.
