Donc Carr locoHi AllPopped into Carr loco today and in the line of shunters to be seen from the car park was one UID in EWS red, looked fairly fresh too. Can anyone help ID this one please? The line up from l-r was 08569/08953/09202/08994/08664/uid/09101/08941. TIA |

Re: Donc Carr loco

Re: Donc Carr loco
I'm not sure, but either; 1. it was there and I hadn't read of it being moved elsewhere, or 2. it was elsewhere and someone said it was now off to Donny. |
||||
| concrete bob |
On thursday ( 13th ), it left Sheerness, but as of yet, i've had no confirmation of its whereabouts.
With Toton seemed to be taking over the shunter repairs, i'm guessing that it may have been unoaded there. Or, it could've been dropped of at Donny instead

My money is on 09001 as its got those high level pipe jobbies on the front and 09006 is still in its usual spot. Does anyone know if any of the DR 08s have these pipes? | ||||
| MartinHarrison |
There is a report today for Carr on another site which confirmed a sighting of 09001 at the Depot-I'm assuming this is still at the rear of the Depot with 09014-see attached.
http://i924.photobucket.com/albums/ad88/MartinHarrison/09001014.jpg The correspondent also said there was an EWS liveried shunter out front with no number on it and confirmed this looked as if it had a fresh coat of paint. 09107 was positioned in Row C of the shed behind 09101(which has emerged)and a photo I have seen previously suggests this shunter has had a repaint from DG as part of it's exam. The shot shows no number on the loco so possibly this is the shunter being referred to. Martin |

Many thanks for your detective work there Martin, 09107 it is then. Cheers bud

Re: donnie
If the reports are true Tel, 08605 has already left Donny ( 9th ). Don't where it was heading though, but Hoo Junction could be a possible. |

Re: donnie
Oh no not another trip to Hoo, them weeds are nearly as bad as Barton, and its a long walk all around the back end of the yard

Re: 08786
It was too dark when I passed there this morning, was hoping to get it later in the morning but ended up going straight to Toton from Scunny instead of back to Donny so missed my second chance - sorry. |
||||
| gazearn |
if anyone sees a loco being loaded up wednesday or thursday then it is probarley coming to ketton as we still dont know whats coming | ||||
| concrete bob |
My guess, and i can guarantee it'll be wrong, are either 08605, 664 or 711. Reason ?, all recently reinstated from store. |

Hi
Does any one know if 09105 is visible as it was reported at the side of the shed. Been up there a few times but it been on check out of view. thanks david |
||||
| 37260 Radio Highland |
Not viewable I'm afraid. | ||||
| MartinHarrison |
37260-got the impression from your post of Donny shunter locations that 09105 was on the end of the line of 08's and 37's...ie:..in the line nearest the running lines.
Then in your most recent posting you have advised it's not visible. Can you clarify-thanks Martin |
||||
| royalscot6100 |
37260 - in your list for the north end of shed you report 09203 whereas previous sightings report 09202, can you confirm identity please.
Roger |
||||
| 37260 Radio Highland |
Thats right, its at the end of the line of 37s. I say it's not visible but I suppose you might be just able to see it thru' the trees, sorry for any confusion. |
||||
| 37260 Radio Highland |
Sorry, I think I've thrown the piece of paper away that I scribbled the numbers down on. I did make that post from my mobile phone so there is a chance I hit the wrong key. |
||||
| MartinHarrison |
Cheers 37260-I'm passing the Depot by train on Saturday so will look out for it-not so many leaves on the trees now -Martin
|
||||
| royalscot6100 |
Not to worry, I will wait and until I can do a turn round the car park.

I'm told TOPS is now showing 08428 at Mossend in addition to 08495. Seems a bit dubious to me, can anyone confirm its gone from Donny? | ||||
| concrete bob |
Strange is that, both 428 and 495 are both showing as Mossend. Seems to be an admin error, as Mossend wouldn't need two shunters on site. | ||||
| 37898 |
Oh yes they would. 08428 went north on trailer that dropped 08993 off. 08495 is at mossend on staff training for remote control operation. 08909 is now the operational pilot at Doncaster. |
||||
| concrete bob |
So why didn't you say something at the time
|
||||
| MartinHarrison |
Can't wait for when they send an extra one down to Westbury for RC training-getting bored of 08995 now-Martin | ||||
| stuman56 |
Isn't 09203 at Crewe, and has been for quite a few years now? |
||||
| MartinHarrison |
Yes... and has been for a few years now.
Try getting a photo of it though. Martin |

Not looking good for CarrIts not looking good for Donny Carr all the stored 08's are being moved to ToytownCheers Alfie S.

Re: Not looking good for Carr
Lets hope they stick em by the bank, as i need the majority of them for a photo 
Any idea on when these moves might happen, Alfie ? |
||||
| crazylegsbob |
welcome back alfwelcome back alfi am going down there hopefully next friday dec 5th and will try and get some photos .from the bridge and the carpark. can somebody do me an update for that same day midday-afternoon time [if poss] cos i want 09105 and 09107 for renumbering hopefully judging from the list dated nov 8th they will still be there , before they move south to toytown/toton! also is 09107 still not bearing numbers yet.? cheers |
||||
| Alf |
Donny 350'sNot sure yet. But if they are moved to Belmont they will have to be tripped across to wood yard for loading.Alfie S. |
||||
| concrete bob |
Re: welcome back alf
Not yet Rob. Depending on whether there are locos blocking its view, it can clearly be seen from the car park. |
||||
| crazylegsbob |
you do realise that 09107 went into doncaster on october2008 and i still have not seen it.
|
||||
| concrete bob |
No Rob, i didn't realise. You have my deepest wotsits
If its any consolation, i still need it aswell
|
||||
| spand1978 |
09107hi went just last week and 09107 was parked infront of car park still not numbered by right there, good luck. i still need 09105 the bugger.cheers david |
||||
| crazylegsbob |
if you went onto the bridge with binos and camera and saw the two queues,
ie one queue you see at carpark you also see the queue with the 37,s in the middle, all i want to know is ,is 09105 still in that queue at the far end,down the side of the shed,today, actually got chased off from the carpark today 
took some photos but bad light,see what they come out like later |
||||
| concrete bob |
Care to elborate with info Rob. Chased off by who and what was the outcome ? |
||||
| crazylegsbob |
was walking into carpark with hi vis on and car came in to park up.3 young blokes got out the car,in suits, moving me on,then i realised that a car was parked by the railings and a couple were just sat there in the car taken numbers and the guys moved them on .it was not me honestly 
mind you saying that i would say he was showing off in front of his dimwits saying "i can be a right B [ whotsit] ARD when i want to be"pity he did not have A full brain cell.
capital A as in one of.
|
||||
| MartinHarrison |
If you walk in.probably going to get stopped and once the bloke had seen you then his radar is going so chucked off the others.
Don't see too many'suits' on a weekend as you drive in-probably all down the dry cleaners getting a nice crease put in for the following week. Key words....'drive in'....'weekend'....if at all possible-Martin |
||||
| concrete bob |
Did they show any ID ? Unless they were management, they have no power to move people on 
As Martin said though, going by car would be best. I would discourage spotters to venture in on foot. |

There has been a lot of tightening up at depot by DBS because of a serious fatality at Allerton

alf
please please tell me if 09105 is still last engine on road 1,north. i was down there last friday,saw all the line up from the bridge! |
||||
| 37260 Radio Highland |
Can confirm 09105 is at south end (last loco but sitting on its own, 1 loco length away from the rest) of the line with the three 37s on it. Full list to follow, too much hassle posting from phone ! |
||||
| crazylegsbob |
post duplicated deleted,sorry | ||||
| crazylegsbob |
[quote="crazylegsbob"]
many thanks 37260,like i said,the view from balby road bridge is from a distance and 09105 is at the very back,behind the 37,s [the 5th shunter behind the 37,s. ie 866/514/786/897 and then 09105,] good lad |

As promised, Carr at 09:30 today.
Starting at the north end. Row 1 08941 09101 08 (the one with no number, forget which it is but you guys'll know) 08664 08994 09202 08953 08569 Row 2 08512 08500 09006 37689 37042 37503 08866 08514 08786 08897 09105 They're not very good as they were taken on my phone but here's a few pics of 09105. http://www.todaysrailways.fotopic.net/p62427716.html http://www.todaysrailways.fotopic.net/p62427715.html http://www.todaysrailways.fotopic.net/p62427714.html |

||||
| MartinHarrison |
CLB-09106 went off to Trafford Park a few weeks ago.
09107 is the shunter with no number in your shot of the line from the car park. As you say,from the bridge all shunters in the yard are visible so 09105 would be where you stated and 37260 has the phot to prove it. Seems like the weather/light you experienced would make a phot difficult...shakes or no shakes
