Tonbridge West Yard Pt3, 66s on stone and Colas 37 with a test train

A visit to Tonbridge West Yard in the afternoon of 20th October 2022. The yard was busy with RHTT consists being prepared and sorted, stone trains arriving and a test train being stabling up. Part 3 records the movement of two Class 66's on stone wagons and a Colas Class 37 on Network Rail test train.

Love the sound of the British diesels. Can’t get my head around the American migrants. Engine revs in no way correspond with speed or grunt and when they are stationary sounds as if the the timing chain is slapping against the cover. Not to mention the infernal noise within the driver’s cab so I am told. Really enjoyed the videos coming from my local town. Spent plenty of time as a youngster on that footbridge. All the best.

First class video. Was all this activity taking place within a couple of hours or were you there all day ? Only ask as i will be down south in mid December and plan a visit. Cheers, Colin. 👍

It was mid afternoon and was on the footbridge for just over two hours. The action just kept happening though. I really went expecting just 73's on RHTTs, so the six 69s and a 37 was a fantastic bonus. Probably will be a lot quieter by mid December, unless the leaf fall decides to slow down.
