I honestly don't know how you guys manage to photo and document things like you do!

Yes, it's been a year already since the 550 arrived - so what have we achieved this far?

Let me just slip on an anorak... Yes, it's an EE type 3, in green would have been a D6xxx number and later on Class 37xxx. :think: Ahem, anyhow, Is there a story to the D tipper? At a glance I'd say from the first photo it ran down the slope on the left backwards and through the wall. Can't really s...

Is it my imagination - or is the crawler in the train yard painted in 'coaching stock' crimson and cream?

The AEC tipper is similar to one of your previous posts, the body looks too long. Maybe a trend for that era perhaps.

Hmmp! Cancelled. Next one 5th October.
