Good afternoon and a very happy new year to all.
5q69 108 late approximately through oxford Parkway with 37116 colas locomotive on front 360201 in middle off two barrier vehicles and 37510 Orion on the rear.
360201 since last filming the move at oxford Parkway back in February 2021 approximately last year when it got dragged with 360203. Is now looking quite faded mainly due to being stored outside in the open.
However 37510 looking really good and presitine it has brand new wheelsets and bogies etc on it.
However 360201 now back at bicester mod Gbrf Depot.
Nice a colas and a rog 37 to haul this move.
Happy new year everyone.
