Making the headlines yesterday after being removed from this tour at Leicester with a fault, #HansonAndHall 50008 'Thunderer' was looking great at Kettering. It may not be a livery for the #Hoover purist but i think it suits well enough. 1Z43 'The East Lancashire Railway'. #MML 7/3/26
#FiftyFriday Back in September at the end of a few days of 🚂🚃 & 🍻 with @kingy69beard.bsky.social, my final loco sighting before heading back to Banbury was #HansonAndHall 50008 'Thunderer' at Leamington Spa working 0E08 Reading Traincare Depot to Knottingley TMD #Thundervac #ClassFifty 13/9/25
A real bonus today as the ECS from yesterday's 'Brick & Tile' railtour headed down the #MML. #HansonAndHall 50008 'Thunderer' with 50007 'Hercules' & a nice set of #EasternRailServices mk2s working 5D50 Wembley Receptions 1-7 to Chaddesden Sidings at Kettering. 26/10/25
A slight change of plan on my journey home for an unplanned bail at Leamington Spa to 📸 #HansonAndHall 50008 'Thunderer' working 0E08 Reading Traincare Depot to Knottingley TMD. A threatening sky as backdrop against the bright sunshine making a great contrast #Thundervac 13/9/25
Out of all the visiting engines for this event, this was the one I wanted to see more than anything else.

Convoy! As alluded to yesterday by my good friend @joshuagrid56098.bsky.social, a quick trip out to a gloriously sunny Chesterfield for #hansonandhall 50008 "Thunderer" dragging #a1alocomotivesltd 31108 and #elrdieselgroup 45108 and 50015 "Valiant".
50008 "Thunderer" passes Chesterfield 10 minutes early on 0O50 Knottingley TMD - Eastleigh T&RSMD.
Always nice to get a bit of mainline 50 action!

Today's adventure saw us head to sunny #Doncaster.
#HansonandHall #Class50 50008 "Thunderer" has been dispatched to collect the Wensleydale Railway's new toy... 47714.
Seen here arriving at and departing Doncaster. Worth missing the 125 Group HST for it!... Maybe 😅
