They come in handy for a lot of different things. So it feels like a real honour knowing a little bit of my own work will now live on with 007! 🥹❤️ (6/6)

Today, I had the luxury of actually driving 66007 for 4H72 and 4L32 with the freshly repainted mirrors fitted. The side mirrors are genuinely one of my favourite features on our fleet of 66s. (5/6)

There’s so much that goes on behind the scenes to keep locos and units moving and it’s a privilege to see and learn from it all. (4/6)

I was told that no other driver has ever helped out with anything like this before which was honestly such a lovely compliment. The ETD is a fascinating place and I really enjoy being involved with more than just the driving if I’m allowed to. (3/6)

These ones were destined for the Bond mobile, 66007. Since I knew that engine was red, I may have insisted they got the proper matching makeover! 😜 (2/6)

I got to do something a bit different on Friday while I was on the shed turn! I was given the opportunity to repaint some Class 66 side mirrors from the old EWS maroon to DB red. (1/6))

Thank you! ☺️

Amy Elizabeth @flyingvixen.bsky.social · 6d

Haha thanks! ☺️

One of those rare occasions where I’ve actually had my hair down at work! 😅 It’s usually tied up because, as you can see, it’s pretty long! I normally like to make sure it’s well out of the way of anything I might be doing! 👩🏻

It is yes, but technically, I’m going down. I don’t use much railway speak in statuses for people who might not be familiar with those terms.

The best part was I got to see my bush again after so long! Looks like it’s blooming nicely since the last time I saw it! 🌿😆

Also a big thank you again to @northwestern299a.bsky.social who caught me at Rugeley TV with an amazing shot! Even managed to catch me mid-wave! 😍 (2/2)

Another fantastic run from Crewe down to Rugby on 4L56! The signallers must’ve been in a good mood today because they let me run early through all my usual ‘booked to wait’ stops. Definitely wasn’t complaining! 😜 (1/2)

Got it! 😃

Amy Elizabeth @flyingvixen.bsky.social · 10d

No problem! Thank you! ☺️

Hmm, not my best. Too busy waving! Let me know if you want a copy.

Yup I’m still rostered for that! Ah I’ll keep a look out for you!! Give me a wave to make it obvious! 😃

Back on the mainline tomorrow with a trip from Crewe down to Rugby. It’s been a little while since I last drove there, so I’m really looking forward to it! 🙌🏻 (2/2)

Amy Elizabeth @flyingvixen.bsky.social · 11d

This was an interesting consist! 😄

It was a day on the shed today with a few moves, including this rather unique combo of a TfW Class 230 unit with a Class 90 thrown into the mix! Definitely keeps things interesting! (1/2)

Even just the once can be just as traumatising as multiple. It’s not something anyone should experience, even my worst enemy! But yes, always in our hearts! ❤️

I may not ever get to experience being a mother in the physical world, but to three little souls in spirit, I am… 🩷💙
