Colas Class 70 no. 70817 is seen accelerating away from Stenson Junction working 6Z76 the 04:41 Redcar to Longport 'Land Recovery' aggregates train.
The route south of Derby towards Birmingham was completely blocked by a trespass incident however thankfully the Stoke line was unaffected, allowing this and a later charter to continue.

One of my favourites, because it's small and looks like a 'proper' boat and makes a reassuringly chug chug sound as it moves up or down river.

I'd witnessed the outward trip being unloaded at Northampton Aggregates, Castle Yard, earlier in the day, so wasn't surprised to capture it on it's return to Mountsorrel, passing through Cathiron. 66213 was doing the honours, Saturday 24.1.15
This working from Lavant Quarry in West Sussex to Drayton (to the east of Chichester) was the primary reason for an interest in rail freight operations for me that has lasted (to date) getting on for 28 years. This was such an idiosyncratic working, with the unique Tarmac (formally Francis aggregates) side discharge wagons hauled by a class 73 (or occasionally a class 33) on a 5 mile trip several times a day. The afternoon trip is pictured leaving the quarry in November 1987 with the usual load of gravel. At Drayton the wagon side doors were activated by the application of compressed air and the load discharged into a lagoon, where the gravel parted company with the associated clay, and the clean gravel was recovered simply by dredging using a mechanical excavator. I had many trips to the quarry and even had a ride up the branch once on this service.
Today everything has gone and the track bed is a cycle path. Happy memories indeed

DETAILS FOR THIS VEHICLE.
Location : Warrington Arpley Yard.
Date : 07/06/2014.
Type : Bogie Aggregate Hopper.
Weight : 102 t GLW / 27.9 t Tare.
Number : 300607 (82 70 672 3 607-1)
Number Series : 300600 to 300685 (with gaps ex NP 19600 to NP 19685 fleet).
Builder : 1995 by OY Transtech, Finland.
TOPS Code : HKA.
UIC Code : Fabnooss.
ADDITIONAL NOTES.
When EWS bought out National Power's rail operations in April 1998 as well as six class 59 locomotives it inherited a fleet of 21 JHA stone hoppers (no's. NP 19400 to NP 19420) and a fleet of 85 JMA coal hoppers (no's. NP 19601 to 19685). In recent years the latter have been mostly stored out of use having seen use on some aggregate workings and Fiddlers Ferry power station coal trains. With a shortage of hopper wagons DB Schenker has taken the decision to reinstate these vehicles after a major overhaul and refurbishment. The ex JMA's are being outshopped from Marcroft's Wagon Works at Stoke with new Axiom LTF bogies replacing the older Gloucester inside frame disc braked LTF bogies. The refurbished wagons carry dual numbers and have been UIC registered by DB as well as carrying a new TOPS number range in the 3006xx series. It's unconfirmed but on first inspection the last three digits of the original numbers have been retained thus this wagon 300607 was probably NP 19607. It's UIC number also incorporates the running number digits 607. Overhauled wagons are being assembled in Arpley Yard at Warrington but I am currently not sure what flow they are going to be allocated too. An obvious candidate would be the sinter lime from Shap to Redcar should DB be awarded a long term contract. This flow is currently using un-refurbished ex National Power JMA's.

DB Cargo operated 59204 is seen here passing Langley Burrell as it hauls the 7C66 17:50 Wootton Bassett to Merehead train of empty aggregate hopper wagons. A number of former coal carrying HTA wagons are in the consist, these having been transferred to the Westbury area following the reduction in coal traffic to power stations. 04/06/16.
60074 backs into the Attercliffe stone terminal working Saturday morning 6E18 Peak Forest Cemex to Attercliffe Sdgs EWS. On arrival at the Attercliffe sidings the train reverses into the Cemex cement sidings. The load is presumably aggregate for the cement.
There's a strange reflection of the traffic signals on the underside of the bridge.
DB Schenker operated 66088 is seen here hauling the 6A83 13:30 Avonmouth to Theale train of aggregate hopper wagons through the Avon valley at Claverton. 15/02/16.
The PGA aggregate wagons were introduced in the early 1970s and leased by Procor to several users such as Foster Yeoman. The PGA was fully air-braked and has appeared through its life is a wide variety of liveries.
This Lego version is somewhat of a "draft" since I am not completely convinced about its height/length ratio and the "impression" of ladder/handrails with various "pipe" Lego bits. I apologize in advance for the gratuitous use of "stickers" but I approach this hobby with a similar attitude as my OO scale railway modelling; Lego is simply a different scale in which to scratchbuild. Nonetheless, I like the way the MOC comes to life with the appropriate use of stickers.
Since I seem to be on a bit of a "Foster Yeoman" theme, I am currently working on a PHA hopper wagon as well (I think they call this a slippery slope). Once again, stay tuned! As an aside, I hooked up a rake of these wagons (virtually) in LDD to the Class 59 and it looked amazing--really tempted to build in real brick now!
