My daily constitutional coincided with the regular Saturday 0A68 light engine move. I would not normally make a particular effort to see this move but the internet had suggested a more interesting consist on this particular day. Unbeknown to me, it had started to gain considerable time as I arrived at my chosen spot it appeared around the curve giving me just enough time to get my camera out!

57306, 88007, 68001 & 66432, 06.38 Crewe Gresty Bridge-Wembley Yard (0A68, 9E), Roade cutting 
 DRS operate a regular Saturday morning light engine(s) move from their depot at Crewe's Gresty Bridge to Wembley in order to, ostensively to swap Class 68s that operate Chiltern's locomotive hauled services. They will often add another loco. or two to the move but this particular lineup is unusual. With the combo coming into view as I arrived at the bridge in Roade cutting I just managed to get the camera out of the bag and capture 57306 'Her Majesty’s Railway Inspectorate 175' leading 88007, 68001 'Evolution' and 66432 at the rear.

66432, 68001, 88007 & 57306, 06.38 Crewe Gresty Bridge-Wembley Yard (0A68, 9E), Roade cutting 
 The 0A68 06.38 Crewe Gresty Bridge to Wembley Yard Saturday morning light engine move passes through Roade cutting. Rather than the more usual single locomotive (usually a Class 68) on this Saturday morning, it was an interesting combination of 66432 on the rear with 68001 'Evolution', 88007 and 57306 'Her Majesty’s Railway Inspectorate 175' leading.
