Well this was a real bonus. Booked through Kettering at the same time the DCR sand was due at Uffington. However the sand ran 16E & #ROG 37608 was 68L with 0D57 Wembley HS-Derby RTC so a quick dash from Uffington to Kettering to bag my 1st 📸 of her in Rail Operations Group green 11/5/24

#SaturdaySandTrain time again & the long awaited return of DCRail 56103 along with hired in #LargeLogo 56098 working 6Z89 Middleton Towers to Chaddesden Sidings 16E past Uffington this lunchtime. Sight & sound both absolutely stunning. #GridWatch #DCRail C56G 11/5/24

A stunning sight early this morning as Locomotive Services Group #MidlandPullman #HST set headed down the Corby line working 'The Settle to Carlisle & Tyne Valley Pullman'. 1Z43 05.57 St.Albans City to Carlisle is seen alongside the A43 near Great Oakley with 43055 & 43047. #LSL 11/5/24

#ShedWatchSaturday my take on the #GBRF special working yesterday which brought newly spruced up 66737 'Lesia' to our county. Tricky light/shadows in the evening for the ECS back to Crewe as 5Z64 Wellingborough Neilson Siding to Crewe HS is seen through Kettering. #MML 10/5/24

#FreightFriday this week is a rather topical look back almost 4 years to June 2020 to see DCRail 56103 thundering down the #MML at Kettering North Junction working 4Z35 Wembley to Leicester Humberstone Rd. With 35 empty wagons on she was sounding great! C56G 13/6/20

#ThirtySevenThursday here's Rail Operations Group 37800 'Cassiopeia' passing through the Shire of Kettering last Saturday while working 0M58 Old Oak Depot to Derby RTC. The going away shot here was the better angle for the position of the morning sun. #ROG #MML The Growler Group 4/5/24
