  Thanks

  If you use a Quail map for reference it is in Down Sidings West Yard on road one I believe. My sighting on 2014-10-11 was made from a passing train. All depends on how things are positioned in the down reception sidings though.

  I paid a visit to Mossend Yard on Friday 29th May 2015 using the view of this vehicle from Google Earth & Bing Maps to track down its location.

  It is definitely not at this location now & wondered if anyone has any news as to whether it has been transferred or scrapped.

  I was informed that Balfaur Beatty moved from Mossend Yard a few months ago so vehicle may have gone at the same time

  Further to my comment of 26 March 2015 and in response to Tony 's of 31 May 2015. I have carefully looked at the Google image and compared it with Quail and this shows it as positioned at the buffers end of road 13 in Down Sidings West Yard. This is the position it has been in for at least 15+ years. I confess to having mis-read Quail in my previous post.

  Tony, diid you actually have full access to the yard to check road 13 or did you view from the perimeter?

  As it was part of the Shields Road train at privatisation it would have passed to whoever took on the Scotland West contract at privatisation which I thought was First Engineering, - happy to be corrected. I believe it was knocked out of a train at Mossend about this time with a defect and just got left. Not sure it would have anything to do with Balfour Beatty.

  Ben - are you 100% sure of your 28/03/98 Peterborough sighting as I can see no logical reason for it being there then.

  No - think a mistake for 975916. Now corrected.

  I believe this vehicle was registered to Jarvis (RCC) I will check.

  I used Bing Maps to locate the vehicle. From this I walked to the end of Reema Road which led to a disused warehouse & yard . To the right of yard was a raised piece of ground which I managed to climb from which was a clear view of the yard area where 975918 appeared to have been.

  Any confirmation that 975918 has moved would be appreciated

  I have today viewed Mossend Yard from the same location as Tony. This gives a very clear view of the position I last saw it on 11-10-2014. I concur with Tony that is no longer present at that location. Thus it is fair to conclude that sometime between 11-10-2014 and 29-05-2015 it was moved elsewhere / scrapped.
