Popular Post Swindon 123 Posted January 8, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2016 What do you do if you have some wagons to move but no shunter to do it with. Use a spare DMU of course. After the Hereford & Shrewsbury Open Day in May 1993, a few wagons had been left in the yard and needed moving. With no resident 08 available at Hereford, anything that could be found was used to shunt the wagons. In this case a Tyseley class 116 DMU came to the rescue in the shape of TS322 set. May 1993. The DMU was also an interesting hybrid, formed of DMBS, M53053 nearest, and incorporating Class 119 Trailer buffet 59419. The trailer buffet in NSE livery.

Swindon 123 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Very interesting Paul, I don't suppose you took any pictures of the wagons? Cheers Funnily enough I did Wayne 37901. Here are a couple of shots of the POA. (I also took some detail shots of bits as well) And also the SEA. Eventually they will find there way onto my Flickr site, but I'm not at that year yet for uploading. Paul J. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny777 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Wow. That just illustrates the power of a 59; or more precisely the low speed tractive effort. There seemed to be exhaust from the front power car. Was that just idling? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted January 9, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 9, 2016 Wow. That just illustrates the power of a 59; or more precisely the low speed tractive effort. There seemed to be exhaust from the front power car. Was that just idling? The load looks fairly light for a 59, it could probably do it with about twice the amount of stone. The brake should still be operated from the front cab so some sort of supply would be needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 What does an HST weigh, about 500t? That's an extra 5 wagons. Watching a solo 59 start nearly 4000t uphill on a wet rail is impressive! I do like the shots of DMU shunting wagons, if only sprinters had screwlinks and buffers! Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR(S) Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Not sure how rare it was to see a Class 27 in BR blue outside of Scotland and on this type of freight, so I'll post this 1984 picture here in case it's of use to someone: http://www.trackbasher-photos.co.uk/1984/i-kJDx54P 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Controller Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 This combination is not something I remember seeing on a modern layout. Scan-160119-0002.jpg Not with two 37s, but the late Barrie Swann did a couple of the adaptor wagons, which were to be seen on Tonbridge West Yard. I can't remember which loco was used with them. He also did the 73 with Scharfenberg coupling, IIRC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(No picture, and it would have to have been black and white, anyway.) I've also seen a maroon tender, but not the engine to which it was attached, in a picture of Banbury shed yard, taken some time after the last LMS Pacifics were withdrawn. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
br2975 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Cheers, Phil. The Cl.47's are moving a pair of Allied Steel & Wire (formerly Guest Keen & Nettlefold, originally Port of London Authority) Yorkshire Engine Co. shunters from the ASW Tremorfa Works (adjacent to Tidal Sidings) to Cardiff canton for wheel turning. . This was an occasional occurrence. . Hope this helps. . Brian R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Glasgow was busy, 27s went to Derby and Swindon for overhaul in the early 1980s so not uncommon on the WCML south of Carlisle. However from the description it suggests that it was substituting for a failure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Saunders Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Hello. If Glasgow was busy, 27s went to Derby and Swindon for overhaul in the early 1980s so not uncommon on the WCML south of Carlisle. However from the description it suggests that it was substituting for a failure. Not really the main reason for sending 26's and 27's south was Crew Traction Knowledge, as this meant that on arrival at Kingmoor or Tyne Yard the locomotive would have to be returned to Scottish Region! Likewise Motherwell 37's were shown on TOPS as Air Braked only with VB isolated but in reality the Vacuum Brake was still working; this prevented them from being used on weekend engineering work!

jonny777 Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Yes they are at Atherstone, Hammy. Although I am not sure what they were doing there, and on the fast line as well. Maybe it was a Sunday? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A faint possibility it was for some sort of set move but - depending on date - it was probably route learning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dp123 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 A faint possibility it was for some sort of set move but - depending on date - it was probably route learning. I vaguely recall Eurostars being tested to Manchester or thereabouts via the WCML. The working of EPS 37s and match wagons may in connection with that, as the Thunderbird contingency.
