D1015 WESTERN CHAMPION
STAFFORD
Another mainline outing for "The Mule" as she prepares to depart Stafford northbound on xx/xx/xx. (Help with date required!)
40006
Beighton, South Yorkshire.
One of my favourite locations. This "TAT" (two hundreds and three hundreds) whistles along in fine style on a mixed trip freight around 1988

CARDIFF
Trips to South Wales were always special, and usually linked to permits for Canton and/or Landore.
37298, 37300 and 37303
Cardiff
Regular "triple stamps" Llanwern iron ore workings. Oh, for that noise and shake once again!
31223 and 3110x

Oops! Back to the repair shop for these two. Stratford gets an initial look at the damage.

After cursing it wasn't a "Western", at least it wasn't a duff.. ;)

YORK
Arrival from Manchester, and my last one for mainline haulage.
76011 and 76012

Always had a soft spot for the Tommys. There'll be a Venturer Models version in O Gauge, 1/32nd and G3 before too long...
56014 and 56021
SHIREBROOK
Still fairly fresh from Romania, a sunny Sunday rest for No's. 14 and 21.

DONCASTER
The one I saw least..... only on a handful of occasions.

Making moves to run down to Barrow Hill for a spot of light routine maintenance.

GRAVEL LANE, STAFFORD
My last Crewe Class 24.... only 3 years of spotting at Stafford to get this one... at last!
55008 and 55003
DONCASTER
THE GREEN HOWARDS runs light South before crossing over and entering the plant for maintenance. Meanwhile, MELD drones North, bound for Scotland once again.

One of five Westerns seen on this memorable day.

On 1M10 - Grrr..... should've been a WESTERN!

Two more Classes to get the Venturer attention in 2023.
