Nice to see stock on the fly in the countryside. The Russel train had its customary tank and TESCO reefer containers. The rear lights on the 37 where not very bright compared with the flashing red on the freights. Trouble with 325 was their design for one job only, the loco can be rebuilt but the stock, possibly the army use?
Amazing how quickly royal mail has sent those units for scrap, what happens now if road transport is deemed unfit for purpose? probably begging the government of the time to buy them a fleet of new units to fill the void or outsource it to GBRF/DB Cargo
As always fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful footage today, Les! Great scenery to shoot in, and some fab catches!
Another great selection and Class 37's are always a welcome sight.
Sad to see the 325 on it's last journey.
Indeed it is! Glad you liked
Nice camera work on those long-range shots Les. Good distance to be at - almost like watching a model railway
Thanx Les ....... EMPTY logs going north from Chirk !!!!
Yes caught at last!

Straight off RHTT duties and on to container work for 68004! I did clean the numbers but will no doubt get washed once stopped for an exam.
A wash? a stiff brush and chisel to get that grime off I bet! Your handywork was noted by my friends!
@@LeslieGilpinRailways The 68 replaced a 66 on 4S44. Glad you noticed the cleaned up numbers!
