The main event! 37609 with 37608 on the rear of 1Z18 09.49 Ilford EMUD - Derby RTC get checked down just before Colchester

Sorry, the sun was too good. 609 + 608 running into Colchester

And again. They were looped here for the 10.30 Liv St - Norwich to get by, which then de-configured at Stowmarket. Unlucky for the guard (Flob), the driver got the IC set going again so no assist required.

608 brings up the rear of 1Z18

While 1Z18 was stopped waiting for the Norwich to get by, I had time to stomp all the way from the London end of pfm 3 to the country end of pfm 4. Should have took my bike with me!

609 waits in the sun for the 10.30 Liv St - Norwich to clear the section ahead.

609 looks good, but not as good as it did when it was 37115... see http://fcwg.fotopic.net/p24754219.html for a previous incarnation

Make the most of the old searchlight signals at Colchester - they're going next year!

Yet another of 609. Maybe I should do video instead?

608 powering at the rear of 1Z18, chasing a 360 which is taking the Clacton diveunder.

Down the dip... Who said Anglia was flat?

My big telephoto lens (Canon 100-400L) makes the climb out of Colchester look steeper than it is, but 608 and 609 are making light work of it despite all the clag...
