Wearing the unbranded livery of Grand Central, having been liveried up to work the now aborted London Euston to Blackpool service, DB Cargo class 90 no. 90029 heads south at Manor Road, Mancetter, with DBC class 92 no. 92019 'Wagner' working 0A06 Crewe International Electric Maintenance Depot to Wembley European Freight Operations Centre light locomotive on 27th January 2021.
This shot was unbelievably close to being bowled out by a Pendolino, saved thanks to a temporary speed restriction on the up slow line.
GB Railfreight class 92 no. 92018 stands at the rear of 1M11 at London Euston on 3rd May 2022. The 92 had been the train engine of 1M11 from Glasgow to Wembley Reception Line via the East Coast Main Line. 92028 was at the block end of the train, having piloted the train from Wembley.
GB Railfreight Class 92, 92020 hauls the loaded 6X41 STVA working north through Coppenhall on the final leg of its journey from Dagenham Dock to Garston Car Terminal. Class 66, 66760 "David Gordon Harris" is DIT providing insurance as the Class 92 continues its comeback after 18 years out of use in store.
The main event; 92010 on 5Z80 Euston to Polmadie, seen passing Motherwell after the preceeding 380. Nice to get cab lights too, from good old JT
Serco Caledonian Sleeper liveried, GB Railfreight owned class 92 no. 92018, formerly named 'Stendhal', passes through Atherstone on 29th December 2020 with GB Railfreight liveried classmate no. 92043, formerly named 'Debussy', in tow working 0Z92 Wembley InterCity Depot to Crewe International Electric Maintenance Depot light locomotive.
92018 worked down to Wembley with 92033 overnight on the Irvine to Dollands Moor china clay train.
Recently resurrected 92028 hauls 66703 'Doncaster PSB' through Cathiron on 24th May 2017 working 0Z86 Willesden - Crewe. The Dyson had been out of service since failing on 1S26 back in 2015. The loco was painted at Brush Loughborough shortly afterwards but languised out of use for two more years before finally being released into traffic again last week
I was extremely lucky to find and purchase a Dyson Trailers comprehensive catalog dating from the early 50's. This was a colour plate inside the front cover.
I will post more images from this wonderful piece of literature as time permits.
The old Dyson appears to be facing off against the new Shark, probably envious of the latter's cool headlights though it could also be because the Dyson is losing its grip on the suction front, nor will the beater bar work properly. Another lockdown sketch in the sketchbook that is almost full, drawn with a Staedtler Pigment Liner pen.
There were more 'Dysons' here than there probably were in any retail store anywhere in Carlisle! DB Schenker 92027 'George Eliot' towing 92019 'Wagner', 92011 'Handel' and 92025 ' Oscar Wilde' and a raft of empty 'HTA' coal wagons across the Eden river bridge, forming the 4Z61 Warrington Walton Yard to Carlisle Yard test train on 9th July 2012. The three class 92's were attached as additional trailing weight for the return test run between Warrington and Carlisle.

GB Railfreight Class 92, 92 043, plods through a rainy Goostrey station at 15 mph as it takes a rake of seven Caledonian Sleeper Mk5s on 5Q01 from Crewe to Longsight in order for them to visit the lathe.
A TCMS glitch led to a very vigorous application of the emergency brake on 1S26 on the night of Tuesday 11th June at Atherstone (south of Stafford). This resulted in nine of the 16 coaches receiving severe wheelflats. After detraining the passengers at Stafford, the train limped to Crewe at 15 mph where it was examined and ultimately taken into Locomotive Services' Crewe Diesel Depot - as that was the only nearby place with sufficient sidings and room to perform the shunts needed.
On Wednesday the seven "OK" coaches were extracted and taken to Wembley that night. On Thursday, seven of the remaining nine were marshalled ready to be taken to the Longsight wheel lathe on this working.
92043 was hauling 15330, 15331, 15333, 15314, 15205, 15007, 15309. Two other coaches remained behind at the depot.
Wing Commander Brown of the 92 Squadron, Motherwell Flight gives his now customary salute as GB Railfreight Class 92, 92043 powers through Hartford with the Caledonian Sleeper Down Highlander (1S25).

GB Railfreight Class 66, 66728 "Institution of Railway Operators" gives Class 92, 92010 a lift to Wembley for attention on 6L38 2229 Kingmoor Up Loop to Dagenham Dock Reception, as the consist saunters through Hartford.
92028 and 92038 front 1Z50 Crewe-Basingstoke 'The AC/DC Highway to Hampshire' and are seen passing Church Brampton on the 7th of September 2014. I was instantly gutted when I realised it was a double header, as my shot was now going to be filled with a larger mass of bland grey, and less of the nice coaching stock. Stupid hobby, but at least the sun was out.
A few weeks ago I had the privilege of meeting one of my flickr contacts for the first time at this kayak shop where he gave me a tour, let me take some pictures, and then later introduced me to the founder, George Dyson. George is an especially fascinating individual and a bit of his story can be found here... www.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/kayak-build...
After a few thousand photographs of Class 92s, this was the first time I'd walked from home to take a photo of a Dyson.
A round trip of just under three miles was completed on foot to capture GB Railfreight's 92023 near Davenham (just south of Hartford) on 0Z92 10:00 Polmadie Carriage Maintenance Depot to Wembley Inter City Depot.
It rained last November 14. I mostly took pix in the house.

This photograph is an outtake from my 2024 photo-a-day project, 366 in 2024.
Number of project photos taken: 23
Title of folder: Rainy Day Pix
Other photos taken on 11/14/2024: none
The reason ive posted these is that i was asked by a friend and flickr member if i had any pics of this Commer when it was still working as he wants to build a model of it etc...
I said No but i do have videos of it back in the 90s, so i took a few screens shots for him and while i was looking all these other motors were on the same tape!
I need to market these videos one day!!
GB Railfreight Class 92, 92006 arrives into a wet Crewe with the Caledonian Sleeper Down Highlander (1S25).
This was the first time in over six months 006 had worked a Class 1 train, with the last time it worked a main trunk run on the Beds being 1S25 on 30 March 2020.
A revised timetable was in operation due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with two trains running in each direction - one to Inverness and Fort William and the other to Edinburgh - meaning no services to Aberdeen or Glasgow Central.
In summary, the uplifted timetable has a Load 14 Highlander serving Inverness (x8) and Fort William (x6) and a Load 8 Lowlander serving Edinburgh only; along with 6 extra coaches being moved as ECS on the Lowlander in each direction twice per week (Southbound Sunday and Wednesday / Northbound Monday and Thursday) to rotate units for maintenance.
With UK Railtours "The Ulster Express" railtour having sadly been cancelled due to wheel flats on the 4-TC set, 92011 Handel returned north light engine as 0Z23 Ripple Lane Railhead to Crewe ETMD.
Oh dyson dc07, how I love thee. Let me count the ways:
1. you're awesome
2. you're awesome
3. did I mention... you're awesome?!
Can you tell that I think my dyson is awesome? I've has this vacuum for at least 6 years and it is still going strong. I am always amazed at how much dust and dirt it keeps pulling out of the carpet.
For this build ironically the most frustrating part was winding the cord (lego rope) around the back.
