Nearholmer Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 If you want to see some still in use, go to Ireland. The Bord na Mona 3ft gauge "bog" railways use so much loco-sand that there are " sand stations" at a couple of places,where they can top-up part way through a journey. Some of the runs are getting on for 40km, with a c160tonne train, hauled by a 12tonne loco, and some pretty stiff gradients. Kevin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

class37418stag Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 Barrow hill shed sand storage ? Nearly same Hornby cement hopper? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davetheroad Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Glad you brought this subject up! I am building a layout who's shed is loosely based on the one at Penrith in steam days. They had about 4 locos allocated plus plenty of visiting ones. Examining all the photos available shows no sand drying facility and if they got it from elsewhere, e.g, Carlisle Upperby where did they keep it?
