THE ULTIMATE SOUTH WIGSTON COMPILATION: 45118, 56049, 43092/093 & More! 🚄💨📝
Welcome back to Trains & Freight Diaries! This is one of my biggest edits yet, spanning several high-action weeks at South Wigston and Aylestone Lane Bridge in early 2026.✨ Featured Chapter: "LOOK ITS A BRUSH!" 🧹✨The star of the show remains the "Canary Brush" positioning move. We caught the beautifully restored Class 45 "Peak" 45118 'The Royal Artilleryman' and Class 47 47593 'Galloway Princess' working top-and-tail on the 1Z08 flow. Seeing these two veterans together was a massive highlight for me!📈
