2355-2334 haul a coal train through Goodna. Little bit of shadow on the front, but first time I've taken a pic of a coalie at this spot. Not too bad a pic I guess.

That fishplate needs reparing if there's any VOGR voulnteers on here.
 
Thanks for including a few details class 143. I once slept on the tender of a locomotive in Bridgnorth shed. It was January and I was incredibly cold even after having had a couple(!) of pints of anti-freeze in the Railwayman's Arms! (quite a few years ago, I'm now older, wiser and sadder!)

Good stuff, Mark. Dunno about 700s in ASR livery, but the CLs scrubbed up real nice in those colors. Glad you still see the odd smokey Alco down there. :p
