It doesn't look like photos can be uploaded at present even doing the way Peter has suggested in his thread. I've tried twice without any sucess. I'll load some more up when the website issues have been resolved.

The photo above of the Power Supply Cupboard is the wrong way round. Sorry about that. This one is in the correct position. Above the top guage are a set of light bulbs which glow dimly.

1. 37513 stands on Worksop Up Departures with a weekend ballast train 8T96 Worksop Yard - Gainsborough Jn on 11-05-1996.
2. Going back a number of years this picture shows 45141+31419 working 3C12 1452 Derby - London St. Pancras Empty NPCCS. This train usually ran double headed as a means to get an additional loco to St. Pancras to work another parcels/mail train back north later that evening. The location of this photo is Pavenham between Bedford North Junction & Sharnbrook Jn on the Midland mainline. This train is travelling on the Up Slow line on 28-09-1988.
3. The new era is seen in this photo showing Freightliner owned Cl.47/0 47197 & 47290 both in the new Freightliner livery at Hither Green TMD in June, 1997. When Freightliner split from RfD they were given a fleet of Cl.47 locos usually the worst ones of the RfD fleet. As a result Freightliner decided to spend some money & send several if not all of them through works to get them fit for prolonged service prior to the advent of the Cl.57. Ultimately RfD didn't last much longer & were taken over by EWS, but Freightliner went on & are still in business today as there Cl.47s became more reliable than the RfD ones.

This photo it would appear is quite rare. EWS converted a pair of Cl.37/0 locos into Internal User fleet to be used specifically to re-building Cl.37 power units & moving them around Toton TMD. This photo shows No.2 formerly 37138 with IIRC the re-built power unit for 37220 inside Toton TMD. Photo taken 15-051996.

Just for a change I thought I'd upload some more photos of my time at March Whitemoor Yard.
1. 31155+31160 arrive outside the TOPS office at Whitemoor to back onto there train. A pair of Cl.31/1 locos was the booked motive power to work 7O90 1948 EWD SLK Whitemoor - Eastleigh speedlink trunk service from Whitemoor Yard through to Willesden Brent Sdgs & would then return with 6L94 EWD SLK Eastleigh - Whitemoor speedlink trunk service arriving back around 0400am the next day.
2. This photo I took from the back of Whitemoor TOPS office looking towards March Whitemoor Jn & the departures roads at Whitemoor Yard. Cl.37/7 37888 is in the process of running round it's train 6L43 COY Kilnhurst - Ripple Lane discharged bogie tank wagons which are under going examination at Whitemoor by the C&W staff. The Cl.08 shunter is 08594 which is one of the yard pilots, of hich 2 worked the afternoon shift at Whitemoor preparing the trains for all the evening speedlink trunk services which would depart the yard between 1800 - 22.00 each weekday.
3. This photo I took which is a siding at the back of the diesel maintenance shed at March TMD which shows a pair of withdrawn locos. 03112 with match wagon & 47103. Cl.03s at certain locations such as Norwich or Newcastle Central always ran around with a mach wagon so they would operate the track circuits as the loco wasn't very long signallers could lose the pilot loco from their panels on certain track circuits because the Cl.03 isn't very long. The match wagon extended the length of track occupied so this wouldn't happen. Photo taken 27-03-1988.

A few more photos from March.
1. 08711+08540 stabled at March TMD on 20-03-1988.
2. 47016 'The Toleman Group'+56088 move onto March TMD on 07-07-1988.
3. I took this photo of March TMD from Hundred Drove which passes the end of the depot. On the left where the water tower is there are sidings there where locos are stabled. The main maintenance shed has 3 roads at both ends where 2 locos can be stabled on each road under cover, so the shed can hold 12 locos in total. Behind the Cl.08 which is between the main maintenance shed & the pump house is the F&I inspection point. To the right of the pump house (out of vieew) are more loco holding sdgs. This photo was taken on 07-07-1987.
