59204 wheels 7O69, 1306 Acton TC to Crawley New Yard, past the lovely spring blossom at Kensington Olympia. This train is usually formed from a portion of 'Jumbo' stone train 7A09 that divides at Acton Yard.
Aggregate Industries, GBRF operated, 66711 is seen approaching Inversek with 6K16. This is from Innerwick, and is bound for Mossend after Engineering works in the Grantshouse area of the ECML over the weekend 24th and 25th September 2016. Seen on Sunday 25th September 2016 at 1103 just after passing Wallyford.
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
Aggregate Industries no. 59002 "Alan J Day" crawls through a gloomy Ealing Broadway, passing P4 with 4400t of Mendip Stone on 6L21, the 1323 aggregate train from Whatley Quarry to Dagenham Dock.
The driver of DBS 59203 hands over the token to the signalman at Park Junction, Newport, having completed the short journey from Machen quarry in charge of 1800 tonnes of aggregate destined for Westbury Down T.C. (6C80).

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.
66134 rolls into the loop at Middlewich with the 1000 Dowlow Briggs Sdgs to Theale Hope Cement. 20th April 2016.
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!

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.
Aggregate Industries owned 59001 is seen here passing Woodborough at the front of the 7C77 12:40 Acton to Merehead train consisting of empty box wagons. 30/09/11.
Aggregate Industries liveried class 59 locomotive 59005 'Kenneth J Painter' is seen here rounding the curve at New Mill as it heads for the capital with another load of Somerset limestone. The working is the daily (Monday to Friday) 7A09 07:12 Merehead to Acton train of aggregate wagons. 27/04/16.
The first time that I know of Lawley St Freightliner Terminal taking a delivery of Aggregates.
Freightliner 66610 after descending the Lickey Bank and passed through Bromsgrove is seen at Sugarbrook heading the 6V68 Lawley St Aggregates Terminal - Whatley Quarry with a mixed rake of twenty -one empty box wagons.
This diagram commenced as 6M17 Machen Quarry - Lawley St running overnight via Swindon and Oxford.
I believe this to be a trial run in conjunction with HS2 requirements and if successful will become a regular flow in the New Year.

Great job, Simon McGuinness!
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
