08569 and 08129 are stabled on Newton Heath depot in this shot. This particular siding was alongside the Oldham line,
near Dean Lane station. I can't remember whether this trip was done via car or train, but Manchester was another
frequent "Saturday Saver" destination. 08129 has the trademark red connecting rods used by both Longsight and Newton
Heath depots on their shunting locos. In late 1980 Newton Heath's shunter allocation was: 08084 08129 08475 08524 08569
08626 08675 08676 and 08677. From memory there were duties at Bolton; Manchester Victoria station; Red Bank carriage
sidings; Castleton PW yard; Oldham Mumps parcels depot (which may have gone by the time this photo was taken); and a
trip working to Chadderton coal depot.
