DBC Class 66’s collecting a tamper from the Swanage Railway - 26/01/2026

An early start on Monday 26th January as I headed off to Wareham to capture images of two DBC Class 66’s No.’s 66128 and 66100 ‘Armistice 100 1918 - 2018’ on their way to the Swanage Railway. The red sheds were working 0Z60 0632 Eastleigh Trsmd to Swanage to undertake the movement of tamper No. DR73957 on its journey back to Plasser & Theurer for necessary bogie works. After seeing the locos pass through Wareham railway station, I was picked up by Jamie and we set off for Norden where we arrived momentarily before the light locomotives. There was no delay as the 66’s crossed the road into the station area and the crew positioned the locomotives so they could couple up to the tamper before heading off towards Corfe Castle in top and tailed formation. Following a personal needs break for the DB team at Corfe Castle railway station the consist moved off towards the main line as 6Q60 0928 Swanage to West Ealing Plasser Sidings which we saw crossing Corfe viaduct and finally once again at Wareham.
