January has started in one of them strange way but one like last year with a high number of moves about which i have seen but not photo graphed a year ago today i went to crewe and saw 5 37's on various workings but this year it has been the same i justr havent photo graphed them because the camrea battery went flat after taking 60059 two many times on the 2nd so here are the shots that i have got so far and there are only 3 and all of the same lol which may be a top for of this year

Also january has now sofar managed to produce 9drs 37's with out my travling a great distance and a few more nice 60's but also two 31's on serco which have been around for the past two days and headed home to derby yesterday.
