We all had a good laugh at this one as we stood about here spotting. We referred to it as the 'rack and pinion' shunter.

We really only went there to see the 'rack and pinion'  and the steam locos at Stewart and Lloyds opposite and then the class 14 shunters in the sidings opposite.

419 standing in Workington steam shed,which was then(70's-80's) used by PW for wagon repairs and as a fueling point.

when the fueling point closed in the late 80's and Workington was down to one 08,there was a Sunday only job(when needed) they had to trip the shunter to Kingmoor for fuel, 35 mile @15mph not one of the crews favorite jobs.!!

Great pictures there Ray, especially 08419 in the shed.

It is always good to have some information to go with the pictures, helping to explain what was going on.

 

I only went there once, travelled overnight from Bristol - Carlisle, then down to Workington on the first DMU of the day,

took a few photos there, Whitehaven and Barrow, then back down the WCML and home via Bristol, 

 

cheers
