Fat Controller Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Nice to see a view of one of the less-common end-door Transfesa vans; I wonder what it was carrying? Seed-potatoes? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted May 12, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 12, 2020 Love that last shot of the MCV with the rails barely visible due to general 'grot' build-up. Difficult to replicate in a model! 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The caption says it is the 14:48 to inverness Nov 1980. Here's another view of it as well some nice shots of the goods shed. Slightly OT picture, but it's funny how the Thompson?? coach is the most modern one in this breakdown train passing through Nairn. Can anyone ID the panelled coach?

By 1980 it must be disused, otherwise why would park your Bedford truck there? It isn't very clear from the above photos, but I have found another online, here that shows there is an end loading ramp only accessible by going through the goods shed, another interesting space saving feature. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one nearest the camera is a Gresley coach of some sort (from the domed roof ends) but with some quite serious re-panelling of the sides. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernardTPM Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) Looking at the panelling and window arrangement, the other coach looks like an LNWR corridor coach, possibly the same or, more likely, very similar to the types that Ratio produce.

Hi There, From information on page 478/9 of Peter Tatlow's Railway Breakdown Cranes Volume Two: It is former WCJS low arc roof 50' corridor third No. 245 from Dia. 52 from 1903. The hump in the middle of the roof is a retro fitted water tank when converted to be part of the Inverness breakdown train as No. DM198641 and was LMS crimson until the early 1970's when it was painted bright red. It was taken into preservation in 1982 by the Strathspey railway but is now at the Scottish Museum Trust at Bo'ness. Gibbo. 1 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The track appears to have been lifted on the goods shed road after the points; there appears to be a large sheet of ply or similar laid over the ballast under the lorry, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although even with that information I found it difficult to find any pictures of it which is strange for a preserved coach, but it seems to be this coach pictured here at The Scottish Preservation Society website. http://www.srpsmuseum.org.uk/10060.htm And here's the other coach Breakdown Unit Tool van DE321109 at Inverness - 01/06/1970 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
