RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted August 1, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) I will have to dig out some further Information to completely but I can advise the following: Nine Elms 64’10” Ransoms & Rapier Salisbury 64’10” over girder replaced by 70ft Ransomes & Rapier under girder in 1956. Eastleigh 54’10” (as in 1934) I need to check if it was later replaced with a larger turntable. Edited August 1, 2021 by Graham_Muz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkins & Reeve say no, it never was, and larger locos used a triangle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks that confirms my initial understanding that it was never replaced due to the triangle as I can find reference to it being so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
