Steadfast Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I've been uploading more stuff to the Flickr, some suitable content for this thread extracted from my 'Shunting Devices' collection here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/96749081@N03/albums/72157712233503436 These pictures are all from a couple of years back, so things may have moved on a little since, but I believe the 08s are all still hard at work, with 08652 in storage. 08+08=16 by Steadfast Fotography, on Flickr 08650 (with the high level pipes) and 08947 at Whatley, both involved in a shunt on the wagon repair shops. Little and Large - version 2 by Steadfast Fotography, on Flickr Overnight a train at Whatley had been cancelled (from memory it was for Exeter) and space in the sidings is as at a premium as anyone who's ever visited will know. The loaded wagons were over the limit of what the SW1001 Switcher 120 'Kenneth John Witcombe' could handle solo, so 08652 was added and the pair were driven in tandem to get the wagons back to the quarry. Cripple shunting by Steadfast Fotography, on Flickr The motley mix of wagons in tow behind 08650 are evidence of the cripple shunt taking place. For those not familiar with the cripple sidings, it is where defective wagons are placed for repair when removed from a train. The mix seen above could well be to get a certain wagon to a particular siding for a repair or two move defective and repaired wagons around. These shunts tend to be 'as required', so you need a bit of luck to catch one in progress. Track renewals ahoy by Steadfast Fotography, on Flickr Mendip Rail has a small track maintenance team and they have the capability to carry out a range of repairs. Several internal user wagons are maintained for this purpose, one is seen loaded with sleepers and attached to 08652 as it sits alongside 66053 Left out in the cold by Steadfast Fotography, on Flickr 08652 looks forgotten as it sits frosted over in the winter wonderland of a frosty Whatley. Several overhauled 08s have arrived at Whatley recently and it wasn't long before 652 was away to Merehead on the back of a lorry. Ex Bristol machine by Steadfast Fotography, on Flickr 08643 is ex St Philip's Marsh, hence its early First Great Western era green paint. It was no doubt subjected to a less dirty job in Bristol, but is gainfully employed at Merehead shunting the cripple sidings and providing back up for the Switcher when needed.

chris37422 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) A few pics of the Trafford Park FLT pilots over the past few years. First up 08585 'Vicky' in the Powerhaul scheme. 08585 relieved 08624 here in 2015 and would stay until being replaced by 08785 in Oct 2017. Secondly then is 08785 which completed a 2 year stint here from Oct 2017 until November 2019. It being moved to LH Group for a well deserved exam and repairs. And finally, 08530 is the current pilot having taken over from 08785 in November 2019. Edited January 19, 2020 by chris37422 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Chris' I was surprised to see 397 last long enough at SP to get painted into grey. Funny how some 08 numbers at SP have always stuck in the mind since the late 1970's like the low numbered ones such as 126, 129, 130, then 301 302, 304, 337, 340, 342. 423 was a long time stayer, as was 08 744, and as you mentioned 815 (once named 'Brenda') and my fave 08 925. A few more for the records. 08 396 first in the scrap line with stored 08's & 25's. 08 130 with a missing number 3, and last is the back end of 08337 sticking out of the old steam shed. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
