The RHTT Sandite tanks return to York & a Railvac at Masbrough Station - 5814+817

            Thought the light over the station site looked particularly good and the shots here were as taken, so there has been no adjustment for White Balance and the light, for this time of year, looks good; it certainly made taking photographs here, once more, less boring! At left rendered in B/W, the 1st set of tanks look to be in a different livery to the normal bright blue, representing water carriers, I guess, but in fact the two-tone effect must be the result of condensation forming on the outside of the grimy units; under the grime, they are blue. So here, each of the 6 tank are half-full and on the right, the underlying blue may be seen at the end of the tanks as the leading Colas class 56, 56105, prepares for its 10 minute wait at the Masbrough north-end signal, S0425 with the main line signal, S0423, showing a yellow ready for passage of a north-bound passenger service from Sheffield. The buddleia are now bereft of their spring and summer growth and so the view from here isn't too bad, but this will change as next year will see another rampant spurt along the platform and this will soon form a 'green-way' along the down line. Bringing up the rear of the returning tanks train is another class 56, adding to the colour of the scene as well, 56096 and the set is working the 6Z56, Washwood Heath Metro-Cammel to York Thrall Europa run back to York. Presumably here they will be serviced and made ready for next years leaf cleaning duties around South Yorkshire diagrams, though what traction will be on them is currently the topic of repeated discussion!
