IMG_3686.jpg	57010 heads passed Walsall cement terminal with 6Z75 MOD nuclear flasks from Keyham to Crewe. I believe this waste is from nuclear powered submarines. The wagons are KUA 95770 & 95771
IMG_3690.jpg	A closer shot of 57010
IMG_3691.jpg	A close up of one of the flask wagons. Obviously very heavy to have 2 bogies on each end
IMG_3852.jpg	37605 & 37610 work 6M67 through Penkridge. I had to pan this shot stood on my ladders to avoid the dreaded Bullocks, who all surrounded us by the fence despite them being in a field with a public footpath

IMG_3923.jpg	A rare catch, and even more annoying that the camera didn't focus properly. Here we see the rail grinding train in New Street performing a reversal
IMG_3574.jpg	I've uploaded this shot again, but this time the BR blue is slightly less hyper

IMG_4333.jpg	47749 'Demelza' and 47739 'Robin of Templecombe' worked a load 12 6Z48 seen at Washwood Heath. Much improved as lately the train had become shorter and only had one loco on too
IMG_4336.jpg	A widert view of Washwood Heath with 6Z48 passing
IMG_4343.jpg	After just missing the 47s at Saltley AND Small Heath (my fault) we can see 6Z48 powering up towards Acocks Green
IMG_4348.jpg	Just as 6Z48 approaches Acocks Green we can see the tracks splitting for the former GWR island platform

IMG_4009.jpg	158882 in SWT colours (well branding) at Leicester stood next to 170520
IMG_4018.jpg	222013 stands at Leicester with a Nottingham service. It's very hard to photograph from this angle due to the advertising boards in the centre of the two lines
IMG_4021.jpg	Here we can see 158882 and 170521 stabled for the night
IMG_4045.jpg	170113 was stabled next to my train home to New Street that night
