The Big Orange Tractor - take 3 20230527--094

37607 and 37254 Cardiff Canton power 1Q86 10.43 Peterborough - Derby RTC via Lincoln, Doncaster, Lincoln and Peterborough "test train" past Ashwell (between Oakham and Melton Mowbray) on the last leg of its journey. [Pole, 5/6 sections (~6.8m)]

I comfortably chased this from Werrington, helped by the fact it had been nearly 20 minutes early there - although it subsequently left Peterborough 12 early but lost time as a result of signalling problems and was now on time. But I thought it worth a try, as I wanted to try a different spot, and it was a lovely evening (although the sun was starting to drop into some squiff).

The livery of this loco is certainly bright!
