  Hi Roger, so how have you been able to gain access to the yard there at Swithland? I need several vehicles stored there including this one, your pics are handy for reference!

  Hello Greg,

  I was very lucky in tracking down a gentleman on the GCR who had access to the shed and sidings at Swithland, but it took many months for me to be able to secure a visit, as he is busy most of the time. As regards the stock in the sidings, the unused vehicles tend to be behind the useable rakes, but of interest the three vehicles hidden in specially designed covers are R007 is 3013 (975653), R008 is 21031 and R009 is 34738. Inside the locked shed on my visit were 19 passenger coaches and vans, three locos, one DMU car and one Brake Van. The stock outside does get shunted about a lot, especially after galas. Just of interest, the six vehicles covered up at Rothley are R001 15207, R002 53193 (977898), R003 E1222 (320907), R004 16070, R005 24778 and R006 S70576. Hope this helps. Roger.

  Hi Roger, ahh I see well I must applaud you there! I had a similar venture with a long awaited visit around Stewarts Lane a while back. It's great to see updated photos of the vehicles I need although a few have not appeared.. May I ask about

  024904

  096055

  975638

  You saw these but no photos, were they all at Swithland? Also the recently arrived tank 083598, is that there too? Thanks

  Hello Greg,

  Yes, I was very lucky. I havn't sent all photos in yet. The vehicles you asked about - 024904 was outside at Swithland, 97638 is also outside, but is covered up and against one of the buffer stops behind R009, whilst 096055 is inside covered up. 083598 was at Quorn on my visit. Roger.
