One for you Darryl 66594 on 4L89 18/6/8

Fantastic! Remind me what the NYK stands for; I used to know but seem to have forgotten. That'll be another 66 I still haven't caught up with yet then Sad

I don't suppose you'd have any idea which intermodal 66's out of the 587-594 batch might be kicking around the Reading - Didcot area on any of the usual FL workings, on Wednesday? I'm planning on going to Cholsey on the GWML, and I see from youtube and fotopic that there seem to be vast numbers of intermodal FL 66's on this route. I'd like to catch up with 594 and co. if at all possible. Very Happy

I cnt remember what NYK stands for i know its a shipping line but ive forgotten the rest. I wont be in work till 3 on Weds so that probably isnt much use...

No worries, I'll just turn up with the camera and cross my fingers! Thanks for the photos Very Happy

You should fill in a few of your gaps with luck. at least one of 502,503,516,537,573,575,577,587,588,589,590,592,593 and 594 should turn up just 14 more intermodal 66's to get..

That's the logic I was working on too. Apart from needing photos of those 14, I haven't ever seen 516, 575, 588, 592, 593, 594 at all. I'm hoping to get at least one of those on Wednesday.

By the way, are Intermodal getting any of the 598-599/953-957 batch or are they all Heavy Haul?

Well done d6841. It's having a name like that that causes me to forget what it stands for! Laughing

That looks a bit like Ipswich to me Intermodalman. Popped down yesterday but never got to the station as we drove. Is the 47 still there?

It will be Ipswich, as that's where Intermodalman is based!

Well I'm back from said trip, just now (9:33pm). I set off at 4:18am. Yes, you read that right. A 17hr bash across 4 counties (Kent, Greater London, Berkshire and Oxfordshire). I'm expecting a whopping number of photos when I look at the camera in a minute. However, I didn't get any sleep at all last night, hence the 4:18am train to London. So I am extremely tired at the moment. I'll type out all the details tomorrow, but perhaps I'll stay awake just long enough to download and admire my most favourite photo of 2008 which I got today! Very Happy

I took it in the yard before i went to Felixstowe. The 47 is still there remarkably getting shabbier and shabbier...
