A brighter summer's afternoon in 2000 as a fresh looking 60033 "Tees Steel Express" powers through on steel slabs from Scunny for export.
60046 "William Wilberforce" is again hiding on an empty MGR, also from Scunthorpe to Immingham Bulk Terminal.

It's Y2K and this afternoon's showers begin to clear this evening, so it's a stroll down towards Wrawby Junction.
Missed what was on the steel slabs from Scunny to Immingham, but I can just make out a Transrail 60 awaiting a signal on the slow line.

Absolutely delighted my KR Models Hunslet BO-BO is now finally added to my collection of Scunthorpe steelworks models of Janus and Di8. Looking forward to those torpedoes arriving.
Thanks to everyone that made this model a reality 🥰

What a pairing! It's been quite a wait to see this combination of colours, but this weekend Freightliner delivered with 66416 in Powerhaul and 66623 in G&W orange visiting Bristol Freightliner Terminal today on 0B34 from Stoke Gifford. Absolutely BRILLIANT!!

OH MY!!!
New Tooled 66 by #Bachmann. These images say all I need to know:
See through
Engine room lights
(Auto coupler is a BONUS! But wish the doors would open...if I had a £ everytime I saw...)
This makes night shunting at the terminal perfection, despite nuking the wallet!!!

Let me begin with a photo that captures a scene I've wanted to recreate for the past 8 years, made possible by recent layout motivation and progress, and years of collecting and thinking.
