LNWR workshops
at Crewe and the Duchess was sat nose-to-nose with "Union
of South Africa", strange bedfellows.. 03/07/2007
The Duchess's right hand

Standard Tank 80136 was
awaiting its transfer to The Llangollen Railway. 03/07/2007
I had seen that there
was a Freightliner class 86 waiting in the station and, as it
left with another classmate in tow, it was making an almighty
racket - a series of bangs as it moved. 03/07/2007
86621 was towing 86627
and it was the latter that was in trouble. It was carrying the
most enormous wheel flat that I have ever seen - or heard. The
pair were moving very slowly for obvious reason and were heading
for the IEMD to maybe sort out the problem. 03/07/2007
Later analysis of the
shots I took revealed the right, rear trailing wheel as the source
of the problem. Whether it was a flat or a piece of wheel missing
I couldn't tell but it was a bad one. 03/07/2007
