<b> 28th October 2009</b> --- With the Tesco Express contract being taken over by DB Schenker in about 2weeks time. The Eddie Stobart livery carried by 66411 and 66414, is soon to become history. When the contract finishes with DRS the stobart stickers will surely be removed. However, DBS have already repainted 92017 (Bart) into Stobart livery, and 66124 is following. There have been some good workings in the South West this month, including D1015 on Silver bullets, Br Blue 31106 on a test train, D7017 on WSR freight and 66704 on a FGW move. Adding a name to that list was Stobart liveried '66411' which today made its 'maiden' appearance in the South West when it was paired up with DRS Compass liveried 66422 on the 6V74 Crewe Coal Sidings to Bridgwater nuclear flasks. Eddie the Engine awaits to depart Bridgwater compound with the 6M67 Bridgwater to Crewe Coal sidings return nukes. Nice meeting, Cellophane Steve, Cam, LJS, 47840chaser and co. The only other stobart liveried loco to visit the South West, was 47832 when the Stobart Pullman was operating.

28th October 2009 --- Today I went to Bridgwater on the Taunton stopper to photograph one of the rarest locos found in the South West, 66411 which has a lot of added interest due her Stobart livery and 'Eddie the Engine' name. This paired up today, with DRS Compass liveried 66422 working the 6V74 0154 Crewe Coal Sidings to Bridgwater nuclear flasks. I photographed the pair shunting the wagons in the compound, notice the loading/unloading of the nuclear flasks in some photographs and the different positions of the crane. Making the day for me was, when it was about to come out in full sun with the flasks in the compound. It was very nice meeting, Cellophane Steve, LJS, Cam, 47840chaser and co. The return working was the 6M67 Bridgwater to Crewe. I photographed the Eddie at many different angles, including as I wanted to make the most of the livery. I also took shots of the cabends to show that stobart were working with DRS as they will be working with DBS in a few weeks time. At Bridgwater, I also photographed 67024 which had replaced 67017 on the Taunton to Cardiff services. 67017 is due an exam and is heading up to Warrington tonight after working to Ludgershall. I then caught the train to Yatton, where I photographed 66237 tnt 66198 on the 3S59 Barton Hill to Barton Hill via Hereford and Weston Super Mare RHTT. I then photographed 66412 leading 66411 on the 6M67. At Bristol Temple Meads, I photographed Network Rail's 31233 which had failed whilst hauling the 1Z12 the previous day. Replaced by 31459, 31233 attempt of returning home didn't go down well as she only made on the 0Z31 a few miles north before returning to the Bath Road Spur at Bristol Temple Meads. Hope Grumpy got a good shot of 6M67, Many thanks to the lizard for the info/updates as always and LJS for the 6M67 updates. Also Many thanks to DR for his help. A very enjoyable day.
