With the Network Rail test train cacelled in August and September, there has been not much to potograph on the GS&W of late. Today the Hunterston to Sellafield flasks ran and with better weather i snapped it at Dumfries with DRS 68016/68003 in charge. 68 minutes early and another shut down on Saturday!

A possibility for the "Macro Mondays" group theme "Medical"

I think it contrubutes to the group "sliders sunday." on the basis of the way I had to use and hold an odd lens!

This week already having photographed these flasks using a Jeweller' eye-glass as a lens, I remembered my Dad's disection kit also contained an eye-glass. So the same subject, a different eye-glass and a very different result! It probably helped that I had cleaned the glass this time!

The eye-glass must be over 90 years old and contains just a single double convex uncoated glass lens. I've used a couple of extension tubes on the camera and then handheld the glass to the tubes. Again a handheld shot because I was just curious to know how the result might differ from my last trial.

Well within MM 3 inches limit.

In pretty appalling conditions 68009 and 68006 roll down the grade at Helwith Bridge top and tailing 6C22 0757 Kingmoor-Sellafield. The original plan was to take this at Ribblehead, thankfully I was rescued from the near-darkness there by messrs McCart and Reid.

The Weather today was in complete contrast to last Friday when the Hunterston to Sellafield flasks came through Greenlea approching Warren hill bridge. DRS 68009/68018 pass the old Platelayers hut with three flasks.

It’s low tide in the estuary at Ravenglass as 68008 “Avenger” creeps across the speed-restricted viaduct over the River Mite with 6C51 1247 Sellafield-Heysham. 88005 “Minerva” swings on the rear, a bit different to the 31 and brake van of BR days.

Having caught 6S43 entering Millerhill, I had enough time to get in front of the Flasks to photograph them again. Here at Inveresk, 37423+37612 are seen with 6S43, Kingmoor to Torness, as they head along the ECML with three Flasks. They have just passed under the bridge where I took my first railway photograph in the early 80's. Caught in lovely sunshine at 0940 on the 29th March 2016

Once a common occurrence but rare of late, the Saturdays only Sellafield - Crewe Flasks ran today.

Seen here passing under Old Alder Lane bridge slightly late due to a second bridge strike in as many days at Alder Root Lane with Ex Scotrail 68006 'Daring' and DRS 68005 'Defiant' as traction,

* Pole @ 8m.

Tan y Manod viaduct. This was a one off run to test the line after the extensive reballasting programme, the siding at Trawsfynydd could only take two flasks so this rake was borrowed from the Wylfa run.

EWS Flask Train by Gordon Edgar

Adding a splash of colour to the delightful scene on the edge of Morecambe Bay near Silverdale Moss in this July 1997 scene was Loadhaul-liveried 37698, heading an afternoon flask working to Sellafield, during the early and indeed short period of EWS custodianship of these services, just before Direct Rail Services took over all nuclear-associated rail operations on the national network, initially based from their headquarters and maintenance facility at Sellafield. Of note are the two barrier wagons each side of the four 'FNA' wagons and flasks, and the brake van, such a formation eventually being dispensed with by DRS, using two locomotives instead, as contractually agreed with BNFL. The 'FNA's were also granted a higher running speed, enabling enhanced pathing opportunities on the West Coast Main Line, once approval had been granted by Derby RTC (The Engineering Link), and following the satisfactory completion of several modifications and rigorous network running trials.
