I've wondered the same myself and did make a comment at the time asking the person who first photographed the Matisa rake from the bridge. It did not appear in the comments section and thus did not find out! The sleeper carrier coupled to 76751 is 92654 according to the Recent Sightings section.

The YXA's were in a long line which I could see from Horninglow Street Bridge, the line went from that end of Burton Wetmore heading towards the main building. That was about 3 weeks ago so things might have changed since I visited.

A visit yesterday to Burton found no sign of the wagons which accompanied the Matisa set.

Did you go round the back of the site?

I drove all the way down the A5121 Derby Road to Horninglow Bridge, but did not go on the bridge, but no sign of 22 wagons, and took many photos of Depot yard from Derby end of depot, and all that could be seen were locos, coaches, etc..

According to Recent Sightings it would seem all the wagons are present on site.. I'm guessing they're viewable from the bridge nearest the station? Also noted is an RR from Derwent Valley Railway BVY210. Where abouts on site is this located please? Thanks

Looks like the HOTRS set AND 22 Wagons moved from Burton to Wembley overnight last night (6Q79); and this morning have subsequently been moved to Dollands Moor (6Q80).
