RMweb Gold JohnR Posted January 16, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 16, 2020 Out of interest and curiosity, does anyone know how much it costs to transport an item of rolling stock like this? Roughly? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughly? That's kind of a bit of string question depending on weight, distance etc. As a rough guide we've transported a wagon as a return load for an otherwise empty trailer from the South Coast to North Yorkshire for £700, whereas a tender loco can cost up to £4000 or so. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when a preserved line is running a gala with guest locos you can get an idea how much delivering said locos may have cost before even turning a wheel. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughly? Yes... Last year, 2 vehicles of a very similar weight, and length, cost over £2500 (+VAT) each to move from a railway based in the south to a Railway based in the Midlands..
