A nice quality little collection from a cold Warrington!

DBS 60's in action in Warrington. Newly overhauled DBSchenker 60079 and another overhauled example, 60007 were on the coals along with EWS liveried 60065. 60045 was also photographed sat awating movement to Toton. Fertis 56018, now preserved was also captured. I doubt the 56 will be at Warrington much longer now.

Some interesting factors today, due to frozen coal etc, some interesting running times:

60079 and it's rake started on time and ended up 45 late.
60065 and its rake started 44 late and ended up 73 late.
60007 started its rake in the yard! and was showing 239 late.

This made being in the right place all the time a touch tricky hence some low level photographs were missed. On a day with rain, fog and -4C however low level photography was in the end given a miss. To be saved for a sunny day, when it's lighter, and ideally, coal trains roughly to time(ish)

Instead a MacDonalds was found (and a Pizza Hut too) and also a great sports shop for a new set of gloves and wolly hat. Nearly got a tent to, but a bit tricky to blend in with the hobby.

All in all a great day out!
