Would that same contact be able to tell me if its worth a trip to the S.R.M next Sat(14/11/09)as in Newcastle for the day and if its worthwhile would go to the museum to see 03078...and now 08915.

Website says its closed until Santa Special time but I don't know if exhibits can be seen in museum yard from car park/other public place.

Obviously,if possible,would get the site a shot of 03078 Cool

.

Any help appreciated as need to do something other than tram spotting Exclamation

Cheers Martin

If you've got a bit of time on your hands, then yes, i suppose it wouldn't hurt to go and have a look. I think you may be wasting your time though.

Decent vantage points are virtually nil. The obvious one is the car park, but as it is closed till xmas, the gates will be locked. On the one side of the shed, is a car showroom and a industrial unit. Unfortunately, the unit is barrier protected, and there is a gate by the side of the showroom aswell.

On t'other side, an old railway line has been converted into a footpath. Not sure what the view of the shed will be like from here though, as the area is surrounded by a wire fence. Given that the place will be closed for a short while, i would've thought both locos will be inside the shed anyway.

Happy spotting Laughing

Its last sighted location was a bit vague, don't you think.

08585 reported at Southampton Maritime early this morning on a low-loader. So, what's replaced it at Tilbury?

08691. I'm pretty sure 08585 left Tilbury, sometime yesterday, utilising the same transport that bought 08691 down from the LH Group.

I'm told that 08735 should be at Toton. Anyone confirm?

Also advised that exchanges will take place shortly at Mossend (08495 in from Toton, 08993 out to Doncaster) and Eastleigh (IDs unknown, from/to Toton). Also told there is a Doncaster-Toton due, said to be 08623 - if so, what's covering Tinsley?
