40106 Atlantic Conveyor

40106/D306 Atlantic Conveyor at Irwell Vale this afternoon.

The Class 40 has been my favourite diesel since I used to watch them pulling Shell Oil tankers across the back of Ashton Heath from Haydock when I was a lad. All I have to do is hear that whine as they lay the power down and I'm 12 again

Great shot mate and good to know that you have seen this mighty beast from a young age. History and a story

Great shot. Nice to be 12 again

Re: 40106 Atlantic Conveyor

Don't dare stop posting photos of trains, or anything else with an engine - otherwise, I'll send you know who round

Re: 40106 Atlantic Conveyor

Erk! I suppose I could find a few (thousand)

Re: 40106 Atlantic Conveyor

You know it makes sense

All requests for things with engines considered. I may have it in the Oychives

Re: 40106 Atlantic Conveyor

Sounds good fella I wonder if we can start a new section on here regarding any forms of motorised transport.

Re: 40106 Atlantic Conveyor

Hmmmm - if you mean a communal thread rather then an actual forum area I don't think they work. Folk just tend to add their own pix and ignore those posted above them. The "Your old cameras" thread is a good example.
