92042 WFBC DOLLANDSM 894M381O01 DAVE

DB Schenker Rail (UK) Ltd's class 92 number 92042 (previously named Honegger) in Deutsche Bahn cherry red livery with Schenker Branding works 4M38 (weighing 924 Tonnes and measuring 487 meters long) from Dollands Moor to Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT) on 1 October 2014. It was also photographed by Douglas Rowson at Wandsworth Road later on route.

At Jaguar Land Rover's Whitley plant, Coventry (15 miles from Crick, Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT)) car bodies are constructed using recycled aluminium sheet stamped panels. They claim that this enables them to increase crash safety and reduce weight of their new Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Jaguar F-TYPE sportscar and Jaguar XJ saloon by approximately 40% (so improving fuel efficiency and lowering emissions). Jaguar Land Rover operate a closed loop vehicle recycling policy at the end of their vehicles life and in future aim to construct up to 75% of their entire vehicle from aluminium when feasible.

The Novelis company, spun off from Alcan in 2005, makes aluminium rolled products such as light-metal products for the automotive industry (automotive coil), as well as drinks cans, products for the construction sector and products for manufacturers of consumer electronic goods. Alunorf, the Novelis Deutschland GmbH aluminium rolling and casting facility at Neuss (near Düsseldorf), is the largest aluminium rolling and casting facility in the world, and is operated jointly by Novelis and Norsk Hydro supplied with recycled aluminium delivered from Ditton Foundry in the UK by train (6O16, returning as 6M14). The Ditton Foundry trains share the same International train ID number as 4M38 in France and so are assumed to work the same route. Previously 46455 was photographed by Mattias Catry at Merris on 23 March 2014). Dollands Moor to Nievenheim aluminium trains have also been photographed passing through Houplines (east of Armenières) working from Nievenheim to Dollands Moor on 12 March 2014. Dennis Vansummeren also photographed 46455 between Wespelaar and the village of Tildonk Belgium, working from Dollands Moor to Nievenheim on 26 April 2014.

The automotive coil produced by AluNorf at Neuss, Germany is thought to be taken to Umschlag Container Terminal GmbH by lorry and loaded into 26 Stobart Rail branded containers mounted on 13 French FIA and IFA twin intermodal flat wagons numbered 33 87 4908s. The route to Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT) then involvs 5 different rail companies (International train ID 46455 and 46452) (RheinCargo GmbH & Co KG railway company, DB Schenker Rail (formerly Railion), Corridor Operations Belgium Rail (COBRA), B-Cargo and finally to DB Schenker Rail UK through the Channel Tunnel to Daventry) where Eddie Stobart lorries are thought to take it the last 15 miles to Jaguar Land Rover's Whitley plant.

According to many people numbers of the 13 intermodal twin flat wagons being hauled with Stobart Rail containers mounted on them were 33 87 4908 675-1, 33 87 4908 430-1, 33 87 4908 662-9, 33 87 4908 429-3, 33 87 4908 480-6, 33 87 4908 507-6, 33 87 4908 711-4, 33 87 4908 695-9, 33 87 4908 733-8, 33 87 4908 505-0, 33 87 4908 678-5, 33 87 4908 659-5 and 33 87 4908 497-0 (the same wagons having left DIRFT on 25 September as 4O16).
