Occasionally Pairs,sometimes even more of-or- either 59's/66's or 70's from different owning Companies end up together.This section covers this eventuality!
59201 continues to soldier on as the sole DB-Red 59/2,but for how much longer before the the paint booth at Eastleigh beckons? Here it is partnered with 66524 leading '7A17' the 10:49 from Merehead to Colnbrook.Running up through Berkley nr Frome.

59201 carries on for the time being as the sole DB-Red 59/2.All the rest of the sub-class now being in G&W-Tango colours.Here it is seen paired up with 66589 running up through Clink Road Junction working '7A17' the 10:49 loaded Aggregate from Merehead to Colnbrook.Probably my final shot of this loco in these colours?

Normally this working '7A09' the 07:12 Merehead to Acton-TC passes Clink at around 08:00 but today it was running 90 minutes later than booked, hence I was able to get out and picture it at a more civilized time! So here is 66503 'Railway Magazine' along with 'Good Ol Boy' 59101 passing Clink in the bright clear morning light.This 'jumbo' being the usual mix of JNA-Boxes and Hoppers.
