I got a stern message from a buddy yesterday that I neglected some workings north of the border. In the interest of fairness, and with the big match later on, here is some signature Scottish traction! Staying with the Rat theme... And what better to go alongside our MGRs than our HUOs?? Two elements of our "Powering Britain" series. Cheers! Fran 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unusual choice of wagons, I'm guessing it's a weight distribution thing? Didn't they use the odd HAA as barriers on tank trains in the 1960s? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure @Downendian of this parish has the evidence..... Hi Phil, I don't think I have any Westerns on MGRs, but they certainly worked them from South Wales, I remember seeing them. Look at this lovely Flickr shot (Jumper) Almost certainly from South Wales D1047 being assisted by a 37 at Swindon. I do remember one MGR service being routinely double headed, normally 2x47 or ocassionally peak plus 47. Class 37s were routinely used as bankers from the Severn tunnel, but I do especially remember this on the Danygraig-Stratford freightliner (4E70). These normally detached at Stoke Gifford, I'm guessing it was different operationally with a fully loaded MGR with Welsh black gold. neil Edited June 20, 2021 by Downendian Attribution 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted June 21, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 21, 2021 Good morning everyone, Going back to the barriers on the steel pipe train, they were coded RMA of course. A very interesting train to model. Cheers! Fran 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
