Many thanks for this Rob. It's cleared up a few things for me, mainly 08715, which took an absolute age to be transferred in from Currock.
Thomson's will be taking delivery of another 3 08's in the next month or so, these being:
402 from Motherwell
670 from Motherwell
933 from Hoo Junction
The two Motherwell shunters will be using the same transport, in the sense that once the first one will be dropped off, it'll head back to Scotland straight away, picking up the next one.
08933 however, will most probably spend some time at Goodman's Yard, before being forwarded north to Stockton.
I've cleared up your queries Rob, so i think you owe me a pint or 5

when they are on the move, give me a shout, i,ll be there.
regarding 08715 that must have just arrived friday.
and the final question for 5 pints is What is the number of the PO/guv/storage van. http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/crazylegsbob/DSCF2280.jpg
its right at the back in this photo.

I think it is 92530, although i'm not 100% sure. It was taken to Thomson's from ??, but reports suggest that it was scrapped. I'm not aware of anymore coaching stock going to Stockton, so it might well be that one.
I'm going to have a drive up this week to see if I can get a shot of 08715 before it is cut up. How do I get to this bank you mention. _________________ Ken
if you got by train, would you be able to still see all this?
As once the rest of the 08's have got there, there will be 5 in stockton which i want.

Check it out on google.
From the bridge, Stockton railway station is 10 yards away behind me. Actually by foot, you can cut through housing estate and use the pedestrian underpass at Dovecot street [i.e bridge to bank]. Again see google.
Go towards the houses and look back. Down the side of a building toward the big overhead crane. 47's only from the bank. Ind shunters majority from the bank.....
08715 just been dumped in the middle but thats bright orange. Should be able to spot it, wherever it is.
As for the three 350's [489 /587 and 900 behind], again from the bridge, look towards the big overhead crane and they are in amongst it. Just able to see the roofs, providing the piles are not too high.

ie if you want to see 08900, dont go to bank cos u cant see it, it's behind the building. If you want to see 489/587 clearly, go to the bank.
THAT WAS HARD WORK BUT I HOPE U UNDERSTAND IT

WALKING TO BRIDGE/. ..esp for aaron browning [view by train one or two if your lucky]
From Stockton railway station leaving the approach road,
turn right to go under the railway bridge, crossing over the road.
Under the bridge turn left, left and left [brittania road]
You will see THE FOOTBRIDGE once you get to the end of this road.
BRIDGE TO BANK.........
Crossing over to the otherside, follow the main road round to the right. This is Hutchinson street.
Straight on and cut through the playpark onto Dixon street.
Keep going straight to the top, turn right on Dovecote street, under the pedestrian subway.
Keeping to your right, follow this road round, passed the entrance to the scrap yard and the bank/waste land is just after this
[you will see a gate in the railings leading up the hill ]
VERY MUDDY AND SLIPPY....TREAD CAREFULLY......

Went up to Stockton this afternoon. 715 has been moved near to 900. Not in as good a place for a photo, but you can identify it by it's colour.
Found the Bank OK.
Got a bonus shot while driving up the A1. 37046 was in a lay-by, being moved from Tyne Yard to Booth's. _________________ Ken
