After receiving a bit of Gen on the Freightmaster interactive list.

~ TUESDAY NIGHT ~
WORKSITE: STEVENAGE - HITCHIN
6T72 21.40 Peterborough - Stevenage (00.01)
R/R Welwyn, Platform 1: 23.01-23.43
[10 Loaded Autoballasters] {{{train operated by GB Rail freight}}}
6T72 05.52 Hitchin - Peterborough (07.09)

How could I resist...... so at 23:10 I turned up at Welwyn Garden City and waiting for me was 66703 Doncaster P.S.B.
66703 Doncaster PSB 1981- 2002From the footbridge - 8sec @ F5
66703 Doncaster PSB 1981- 2002The visually impressive Autoballasters required some coverage - 7sec @ F9
66703 Doncaster PSB 1981- 2002 As well as the side of the loco - 7sec @ F8
66703 Doncaster PSB 1981- 2002As I got to the front of the loco a wry smile from the driver and off he trundled - bugger! Next time I'll shoot the front first.- 1.5sec @f3.5 (not bad for hand held!)
