Simon Bendall Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 The only Construction ones that spring to mind would be the Queen Mary brake vans used on Channel Tunnel construction traffic. Railfreight General found on a few odds SPA transferred to civils use https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/spaconvertdept/e212ade90 The VGA, VCA and Palvan from the exhibition train http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackwatch55013/5511833675 I think there was an OCA as well but not sure. 1 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted December 31, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 31, 2021 The Railfreight Design Guide - issued to introduce the new symbols - doesn't include any illustrations of the general, or 'parent' (as it calls it) symbol on any items of rolling stock - it was intended for use on assets used by more than one sector (but it did appear on some T-shirts). Construction sector dealt largely with PO wagons and I never saw the symbol on any of them but somebody somewhere might have put one on something. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found this photo in another thread for reference. Apparently they were need as some of the Channel Tunnel construction trains required propelling, so they were used for that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were used for a propelling move at Forders with the shunter riding onboard. IIRC, he had control of a brake valve. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
