During the afternoon, a shunting move went wrong, and a two-loco consist, the NRM's green 37 leading and Freightliner's 66 601 trailing, ran head-on into stationary 37 515, owned by the Harry Needle Railroad Company. The NRM 37's nose took the brunt of the crash, as its buffers drooped and the whole frame end seemed to drop.
Elsewhere on the site, the gleaming AC electric locomotives of the AC Loco Group, and the Deltic Preservation Society's newly opened running shed.
A powder blue dream-machine...
Deltic. Forerunner of a legend.
On the way home to Sheffield, I noticed this rather odd arrangement carrying part of Chesterfield station. The lower beam is clearly an original, presumably Victorian work, but the station now seems to be rather narrower than the original!
