An enjoyable few hours at Parkend on the Dean Forest Railway last Saturday (28 September 2024). Occasionally the railway operates trips along the line using a brake van, this day the motive power was 09106, also eleven preserved TTA tankers were included making quite an interesting sight. The working shown was the 11.15 Lydney Junction to Parkend. I was surprised, but pleased (as a photographer) to see so few people around the station, so this view is enhanced by the couple watching as the working arrives at its destination.
09106 was owned by Harry Needle Rail Company (as fleet number 6), hence the orange livery, it has previously (I believe) worked at Hope Cement works, Derbyshire and more recently at Celsa steel works in Cardiff when on hire to GBRf. When the hire period finished HNRC sold the shunter and it now resides at the DFR. Between 09106 and the TTAs is the ex-Southern Railway 'Queen Mary bogie brake van.
