The 3rd stop on our cruise was Puerto Chiapas, Mexico. This small harbor is close to the Guatemalan border and the cruise infrastructure is still small.
60046 William Wilberforce is now back earning its keep with DCR after being stored for around 10 years. Here the almost new tug is seen passing Doncaster with its first DCR service the 6Z56 from Carlisle to Decoy Yard.
No apologies for chucking up another of this series of pics, here's 60011 again, about to enter Dove Holes Tunnel on 27 February 2011. Very Hornby-esque this one, but I assure you that it's the real thing!
The Manningtree RegattA begins with fun and frolics, while waiting for the tide to come in for the dinghy races. There are kiddies races on the beach and tug of war championships for the adults in the mud. These amazons were the overall champs in the women's series.
60023 passes High Street 'box, Lincoln with 6E82 10:45 Rectory Junction to Lindsey OR. 12th October 2001. I suspect that this view doesn't look like this any more - Tug or no Tug.

Workhouse tug Helen H proudly flys her American flag. Built in 1967 in Texas, she’s still working hard, currently serving as Dean Marines sole tug working in the twin ports.
Huge Russian Air Force Tupolev Bear D serial '23' being tugged north-side at RAF Fairford during the 1994 RIAT.
The Royal International Air Tattoo is held there each year and on this occasion it was the weekend of the 30th -31st July 1994 when this giant Soviet machine arrived for display. Shepherded into our airspace by RAF Phantoms which would normally be scrambled to intercept such a beast, this one was allowed in after a mountain of diplomatic hurdles had been jumped.
The same happened the previous year, when one of these incredible Long-Range Martitime Strike and Patrol Aircraft had also graced the tarmac here but this was the first time I had seen one fly. The sound of those huge Kuznetsov coupled turbo-prop engines with their massive contra-rotating props will be a something that stays with me forever!

Having been absent on this working for a while, it's pleasing to have Class 60s back on the Tunstead - Lostock Works aggregates flow, bringing some of these Brush machines back to Northwich.
On a grey and wet afternoon, DB Cargo's 60 059 "Swinden Dalesman" slowly draws into the Northwich station freight loop with the 6F05 16:10 Tunstead Sidings to Northwich Lostock Works loaded service. 60059 would then reverse back into the Lostock Works (see other photos).
Truffles can't understand what happened :))))) Tugs was such a little kitten :)))))))))))))))))))))))
Down on the colliery sidings at Beamish Museum there appears to be a tug of war going on between two vintage steam locomotives. In fact they are both shunting in the same direction, which is just as well because one is considerably larger than the other, so the contest would have been a little one sided.
The shunter nearest the camera is 0-4-0VBGT "Coffee Pot" No.1 vertical boiler shunting engine, originally built in 1871 by Head Wrightson at their Thornaby works on Teesside. The shunter was delivered new to Dorking Greystone Lime Company for use in their Betchworth Quarry in Surrey, where it worked until 1949. The engine is taking pride of place at an event to mark it's 150th birthday on Saturday 1st May 2021.
The goods wagons in the middle are mostly chauldrons (coal wagons), built around 1870 for the Londonderry coal mines of East Durham (later part of NCB Durham coalfield).
At the far end is Peckett No.1370, an R-Type 0-4-0ST of 1915. The shunter spent it's working life at Yates Duxbury & Sons paper mill near Bury until it's withdrawal for preservation in the 1970's. It is now owned by The Jubilee Locomotive Co., from whom it is currently on loan.
