Making a very rare appearance on the Sea Wall and indeed Devon itself is Bardon Aggregates liveried Class 59/0 number 59005 'Kenneth J. Painter', seen working the especially early (179 minutes to be precise!) 7Z27 Burngullow to Exeter Riverside empty aggregate hoppers past Parson's Tunnel between Teignmouth and Dawlish, whilst the sea gets in one of its more choppy moods.
The Class 59's were ordered by Foster Yeoman in order to create a privately owned fleet of high powered diesel locomotives so as not to rely on the slew of unreliable British designs such as the Class 56 and 37. Built by the General Motors Corporation in Canada and using an engine derived from an American EMD SD40-2, the first batch was delivered in 1985 and began working in the Southern areas of England, primarily transporting aggregate trains from Merehead Quarry in Somerset to Acton Yard in West London.
59005 was the last of the original batch to be built for Foster Yeoman, entering service in 1989. It is one of 4 locomotives still in use with the company, with 59003 being transferred to Germany in 1997 in preparation for that country's introduction of the Class 66s.
GBRf Class 66/7 No. 66752 passes Walcot between Wellington and Shrewsbury with 6V09, a Tinsley Yard – Coton Hill aggregate working on 10th November 2015.
Passing through West Ealing, Railfreight Class 47 47320 heads a westbound empty aggregates train of 4-wheelers back to one of the West Country quarries on a Saturday afternoon in early February 1989.
(This only got one fave when I posted a smaller version 8 years ago - hopefully we do a bit better this time.)

A shot I have done multiple times, however with the crud only clearing a short while beforehand, a hasty visit to the local spot was made. DB Schenker liveried 59201 is seen heading along the Melksham single line as it passes Monkton, Broughton Gifford, with a 7C66 17:50 Wootton Bassett to Merehead train of empty aggregate hopper wagons. The former National Power owned locomotive is hauling a train of mostly former coal carrying wagons, both now at home on Mendip Rail traffic. 03/06/16.
I don't know why I took the back end of a Scammell tipper body - anyway - in the background are the trailers for Artics - I think they have donkey engines on ; i vaguely recall the use of hired [ Seddon Atkinson ] artic units probably for the supply to of aggregate to Balfour Beatty for the M25 [ they had batching plants at Chertsey , Byfleet and around about Stoke D Abernon ].
I also recall that for a while HALL AGGS THAMES VALLEY had at one time 2 or 3 FIAT artics which had a payload of about 15 tonne [ keep in mind at the time the payload of other artics was just about 21 tonne ] - they had come from another part of RMC
Clad in stunning DB Verkehrsrot, DB Cargo UK no. 66230 (now the highest-numbered active Class 66 in the DBC UK fleet) pauses at Worcester Shrub Hill in the chilly January night with the return working of "The Severn Aggregator" - Pathfinder Tours' charter from Banbury to various locations around the Severn; Westerleigh (Murco) Oil Terminal, Machen Quarry, & Sharpness Docks. 1Z20, from Sharpness back to Banbury, was the final leg of the charter, and was running about 25 minutes late at Worcester after a delay in removing 60001 (which had worked in top-n-tail mode with 66230) from the tour at Gloucester.
Passing Duffryn, Newport & very close to the place where it first arrived in the UK, GBRF's second generation import 66756 heads towards Cardiff with 6V79 11:56 Angerstein Wharf - Pengam Sdgs. on 29/7/2015.
An early start to a Saturday outing to the Cambrian Line in July 1988 paid dividends in the form of a brace of Railfreight Agrregates Class 37/5 machines in the first frame of the day. BR 37684 & 37682 were approaching Shrewsbury with the SO 1J18 06:20 Birmingham New Street to Aberystwyth.

The CPWS Aggregate General is a Type-F warpship designed for sustained ship-ship combat as well as extended warpspace travel. Often times Type-F warpships are seen on the fringes of Coalition space where they will conduct reconnaissance or smuggling missions far beyond Imperial borders.

Description:
Tarsin shipyards have long been famous for being the only suppliers of warpships to the Imperial armadas. Each ship is assembled with the utmost care in the zero-G shipyards of Tarsis' outlying moon. There, every warship undergoes a lengthy construction period, often spanning many years with more complex vessels being constructed with only estimates on launch dates.
The time and care taken when constructing a warpship are absolutely necessary to ensure the ship's drives and sensors are in perfect tune. Sometimes warpships are completed but stay in drydock for several months as their systems undergo the most extreme of tests. Thousands of warpjumps are then required for the ships to be considered combat ready, and often a captain will retire before he has seen the enemy.
Warpships, unlike other Coalition vessels, travel almost exclusively through Warpspace and will communicate with the material universe in short bursts relayed via automated Warpspace beacons. In combat warpships are unpredictable opponents and will emerge into the material for only a moment to loose a deadly volley of fire onto an unsuspecting enemy. Though captains rely heavily on this hit and run tactic, warships are capable aggressors in open combat and each deck bristles with hundreds of ship-ship cannons, missile bays and countermeasures.
I'm back in the game. This is the first Coalition ship to be officialy* released in just over three years. Enjoy!

DB Schenker red liveried 66101 is seen here heading the 6A83 13:26 Avonmouth to West Drayton train of aggregate hopper wagons past Claverton. This train normally runs two or three times a week and conveys imported stone from Ireland. Little Solsbury Hill can just be seen above the second and third wagons. 15/04/15.

66709 collects a repaired IOA bulk aggregates box wagon from the siding to the right of 66708 which can be seen waiting to depart with the 6Y48 to Hoo junction in the distance. This was shunted back on to the discharged rake of boxes in the virtual quarry. Not often a single wagon working can be captured. Friday 24 May 2019
Emerging out of the forest off the Machen branch at Park Junction we see 66096/66002 with 6Z85 1409 Machen to Little Kimble.
The train is about an hour late mainly because the schedule allowed insufficient time at Machen for loading the train being formed of 34 JNAs hence the need for double heading.
ARC Ltd General Motors Class 59/1 59102 'Village of Chantry' takes the Westbury line at Fairwood Junction with a train of loaded JHA hoppers. I assumed this to be a Whatley Quarry to Theale working (6Z22).

Aggregates carrier Bert Prior sailing up the Rive Thames and passing Gravesend, viewed from across the river, below Tilbury Marshes. Bert Prior is one of a fleet of similar (small) vessels carrying building materials into London, operated by a small local-ish firm, JJ Prior. They have a distinctive, gentle engine note and I like their shape; since coming to Gravesend they've been favourites of mine. Bert Prior is currently at Wivenhoe, on the River Colne, where JJ Prior is based.
Gravesend's Gordon Promenade is just visible, with Siri Guru Nanak Darbar, the Gravesend Sikh Temple, dominating the skyline. Unlike JJ Prior, the Temple is post my arrival here and I pass it often: it's a lovely building and a superb achievement.

DETAILS FOR THIS VEHICLE.
Location : Newhaven Town Goods Yard.
Date : 05/06/1987.
Type : Bogie Aggregate Hopper.
Weight : 87.9t GLW / 22.4t Tare.
Number : HALL 13704.
Number Series : HALL 13700 to HALL 13712.
Builder : Standard Wagon Co. Heywood Works.
TOPS Code : PHA (later JGA).
ADDITIONAL NOTES.
Hall Aggregates (South Coast) Ltd had a fleet of 13 PHA wagons that were later coded JGA with a 65 ton capacity. They were built to operate from Newhaven to Crawley and Tolworth carrying sea dredged pea shingle or course sand. The wagons were registered to Hall Aggregates Ltd as can be seen on the yellow private owner wagon plate by the prefix to the wagon number HALL 13xxx, they carried RMC Aggregates branding as RMC was the parent company. Their use out of Newhaven lasted for 12 years (1984-1996). When the traffic ceased they were transferred to the Peak District where RMC had a second fleet of similar wagons working out of Holderness Quarry (Peak Forest) and the wagons became part of a common pool for the local stone traffic.
EWS bought the fleet in 2007 by which time RMC had been bought out by multinational giant 'Cemex' (Cement Mexico Ltd). The practice of buying private owner fleets was usually in an effort to tie the customer to one haulier. That wasn't strictly the case here though as EWS had provided a new fleet of Cemex branded HOA hoppers in 2007 to eliminate remaining 4-wheel hoppers and largely replace the ex RMC fleet, so the acquisition of the ex RMC bogie hopper fleet was part of the same deal (new for old). EWS then started to use the wagons in the South East again but this time on Mendip stone workings and so did DB after they bought out EWS. In more recent years their use has been more in the North West again carrying crushed glass between Tilbury Docks and Ince & Elton glassworks. They have increasingly been getting door reliability issues and are now life expired and starting to be withdrawn for scrap at Warrington.
