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

Is for humans & dogs
The silver part at the bottom screws off, and is a water bowl for your dog to have a drink of water, as you enjoy a nice hot coffee whilst out and about.
We always take a bottle of water with us for our dogs.
Tracey got it yesterday from Costco.

DRS' 88003 and 88007 await time at Crewe as they near the end of their journey through North Wales.

Having hoped it would be a flask train, it was disappointing to find out it would be a rake of JNA's. However, it gave me the chance to see one of DRS's new locos. Here, 66091 passes Rugeley Trent Valley with 6Z73 Sellafield BNF to Wembley TC, with 20 JNA's in tow.

14th April 2017.
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.
