Diggle Diaries: An attempt to film all daylight running freight and interesting workings from Diggle Junction. Situated on the picturesque Trans-Pennine, Manchester to Huddersfield and Leeds route, Diggle Jn lies at the top of a steep incline leading into Standedge Tunnel. Providing beautiful scenery, varied freight and trains working hard up the hill, there aren’t many better places for a bit of trainspotting.

Enjoyed your new video, the one thing was Evening Star, in my fireman time I did manage to fire the steam name of that name.Kind Regards

@DiggleJunction 2 месяца назад

Thanks a lot Ramon, that’s one hell of a feather in the cap to get the last. I believe this was the last 66 built, hence the name in homage to the steamer.

@DuncMcNutt 21 день назад

What a cracking location. Thanks for the video, and just subscribed. Really great sounds from the trains there.

@DiggleJunction 21 день назад

Cheers mate, much appreciated. Glad to hear you enjoyed the sound as a lot of effort goes into catching that.

Another great episode Luke, I see what you mean about the sub wagons! That last shot was a revelation, seeing the old station, that must have been demolished a long time ago.

@DiggleJunction 2 месяца назад

Thanks a lot John, glad you stayed till the end to catch that picture. Closed in 1968 after being open since 1850 under the L&NWR. I’ll drop in more pictures over the next few episodes, search on google for disused stations, there’s some great info on Diggle station.

@keefr22 2 месяца назад

Yep, enjoyed and liked again Luke! Funnily enough was wondering just last week if 66723 was still painted up as Chinook - I last saw it at a RAF Odiham families day not long after it had been named - GBRF took it there on a lowloader! 🙂Have to say a single 66 looks to struggle on the Drax trains! Great video again!

@DiggleJunction 2 месяца назад

Thanks a lot Keith, that must have been a sight to behold! What an undertaking to get it over there. They definitely struggle on the hills up, I guess it must be worth it to be able to fly down the other side at 75 instead of 60.

Nuclear flask wagons when loaded with flasks en route to and from submarine base in Plymouth are accompanied by a couple of DRS coaches containing armed guards to protect the convoy, its always double headed (or top and tailed). Nowadays will be Class 68’s/88’s.

@DiggleJunction 2 месяца назад

Bloody hell id love to catch those one day!

@talbotsteve 2 месяца назад

Those are KUA Wagons, these KXA are more likely to be used on fuel to and from Barrow docks to sellafield.

@andywillo811 Месяц назад

@@DiggleJunctionquite likely you would be 'discouraged' from filming . The.wagons were used when defuelling Dounreay and the royal navy research establishment there

@DiggleJunction 2 месяца назад

Thanks mate, they’re taken from a few places, mostly from train sim or OO gauge models, then compressed and heavily edited to look good small. Takes a lot of work but I’m gradually building up database to drop them in now.

Great video, liked and sub'ed ! Love the unusual workings and the Drax stuff, been working at Dore and Totley station on and off and there is a Drax train "runs as required" but never seen it yet ? At least ive got the "Garfield" Cemex wagon to keep me amused and a convoy of seven 66's the other sunday night 👍

@DiggleJunction 21 день назад

Cheers John, appreciate it mate thanks. That's one hell of a convoy, never seen seven together before! I believe that runs as required Drax working is incase of diversions.

@DiggleJunction Месяц назад

Thanks mate, can only do it in the dry as the ledge I have to pull myself up to can be really slippy with only the tow path between me and the canal haha. Final tweaks post review to Arlington done today so fingers crossed it will be ready for Friday 👍🏻 great to meet you fellas too, was glad to get home out of that rain.

@andrewwilkinson3022 2 месяца назад

I've seen an old version of them DRS wagons at Sellafield before always wondered what they where for

@DiggleJunction 2 месяца назад

Aye I think they’ve got a few different but similar types for those similar applications. Very interesting stuff.

@talbotsteve 2 месяца назад

drs have used these kxas for a while and have been to sellafield quite a few times, in fact they are more often stored on site at sellafield.

@lesdonaldson520 2 месяца назад

Great video Luke . Would love to see what goes on inside the measurement trains . Love the drone footage

@DiggleJunction 2 месяца назад

@Thebigfour1923 2 месяца назад

I live in todmorden and always miss the 37 is the a specific date for the next one

@DiggleJunction 2 месяца назад

Love Tod, it's been replaced by the HST now on the Yorkshire circuit but every once in a while the 37's randomly crop up as a replacement so it's tough to predict these days. I think the Measurement Train usually works that side in the first few days of the month.

@nervousnellyterencemorton 2 месяца назад

Deffo flask carriers Luke used for transporting a square type fuel element. Cannot elaborate further, still bound by the OSA.

@DiggleJunction 2 месяца назад

Very very interesting application mate, not sure it was have fit through the tunnel loaded in that case.

@nervousnellyterencemorton 2 месяца назад

@@DiggleJunction Luke the flasks are tube like, easily fitting through any bore tunnel. Submarine assemblies are generally escorted (armed) using specially converted DRS mk 3 coaches.

@talbotsteve 2 месяца назад

DRS have had these KXA's for a number of years now, mainly used of fuel transfers between Barrow docks and Sellafield.

@DiggleJunction 2 месяца назад

That’s what I read mate, the bigger KUA’s are the ones used for MOD stuff from our dockyards.

@alexferguson6982 2 месяца назад

The wagons 66427 is hauling or used between Japan, Barrow Docks &, Sellafield transporting nuclear waste. They travel between Japan & Barrow Docks on ships, before being unloaded at Barrow Docks then they move onwards to Sellafield. These wagons will be off repair and heading back to Sellafield.

@DiggleJunction 2 месяца назад

Very interesting mate thanks for that info, interesting to see them away from their usual stomping ground.

@headsup2433 2 месяца назад

The difference between the loaded and unloaded biomax trains is significant, the 66`s do struggle a bit. Still got the bouncy points then, brilliant thankyou.

@DiggleJunction 2 месяца назад

Yeah they really fly along when empty. I gather that’s why they’re swapping the 60’s out so they can travel at 75 empty with the sheds. Points still as bouncy as ever haha.

@christopherclarke9316 2 месяца назад

Less shots of you in the rain this month Luke! Interesting mix. Cool photo at the end title, the station may have changed but the pub hasn't.

Thank the heavens summer is finally rearing its head mate ha. I’ve got a photo of the pub from around the same time so will put that in at the end of the next one.
