Great video Stuart! Some great action whilst waiting for Blue Peter, New Mills South Junction looks fantastic I must put it on my list for next year. What was the freight working with the DB 66 ?

Return Northwich hoppers. Probably 6H42/3/6 , not sure of the headcodes these days, the job's changed a lot since I last worked 'em. And not for the better I might add.
