Over the years I have been to Crewe for day trips, open days and never once have I been close to Basford Hall. Opened in 1901 and is about a mile south of Crewe Station. Apart from the large number of wagons that are there and trundle in and out daily it also host a number of active and stored locomotives. It was these locos that I was looking for. Well one in particular. 90050 has been in storage and has been consistently robbed of parts to keep her sister locos in service. 90050 was put into store after fire damage 4th December 2004. Sat with 90050 is 86251 which has been stored since 30/09/2008. Another I felt the need to get a photo of.

Despite the drizzle I decided to head to Basford Hall yards. It's not that bad a walk once you have done it once. I created a post on here to describe the route. I hope it helps others.
