faulcon1 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) 2-6-0 No. 2535 of the B 205 class of 1881. This loco saw colliery service at Corrimal and Bulli collieries until mid 1971 and was then preserved by it's then owner AI&S or Australian Iron and Steel today known as Blue Scope Steel at Port Kembla. It was later obtained by Dorrigo for storage. The loco is very similar to the "Galloping Alice" of the Midland and South Western Junction Railway.

faulcon1 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) 1923 and 1904 of the A 93-class 0-6-0 1877. These two locos were still at work in 1972 at Port Waratah locomotive depot. This class of loco lasted almost to the end of steam due to being able to run over very tightly curved lines and appallingly maintained track.

EddieB Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) Paul, sorry to rain on your parade, but RENFE 230-2033 started life as Norte 1903 and was built by Hanomag (3454/1900) in Germany. There were twenty eight such locomotives, eighteen built by Hanomag and ten by Borsig. (Takes nothing away from the photos, of course!) The only 4-6-0s built by North British for Spain were to the order of the Oeste company, built in 1907 (Oeste 760-762) and 1909 (763-765). They became RENFE 230.2059-64, of which 230.2059 (NBL 17647/1907) survives at Madrid Delicias museum. Did you see Garratts at Tarragona? (Which were built in Spain, so slightly off-topic here).

faulcon1 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 In the UK the GWR had Steam Rail Motors until they took a backward step and had Auto Trains. The LNER had Sentinel Steam Rail Motors. Here in Australia we have what looks like an Auto Train but is actually a Steam Rail Motor as the loco and coach are permanently coupled. It is affectionately known as the "Coffee Pot". It is currently undergoing a major overhaul which includes a new boiler. It is owned and maintained by the Pichi Richi Railway in South Australia. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Such rail motors weren't unknown in the UK, but usually in the form of self-propelled inspection saloons. The most famous was probably Drummond's "Bug" on the London & South Western Railway. As you can imagine, the nickname "Coffee Pot" has been applied to a wide variety of small locomotives, especially vertical boiler types and to the Neilson-built inverted saddle tanks of the Great Eastern Railway (LNER class Y5). Neilson supplied a similar locomotive to FC Andaluces in Spain, where it was given the alternative nickname translating as "Chocolate Box". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperlad Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) During a short visit to Nairobi, earlier this year, I had the chance to visit the railway museum. The museum is not really what we would expect and is just a collection of old steam locomotives and rolling stock, assembled in a yard, slowly rotting away. In addition to the five Garretts, standing in the yard, the railway company has three working steam loco's over at the works, including a Garratt. They are available for viewing but only by appointment...I did try my luck but security wouldn't let me in! However, it was very interesting and I took a few pics: The following three pics are of Tribal Class 29 'Masai of Kenya', built in 1956 at NDL, Glasgow Next are some Garratts built at Beyers in Gorton, Manchester. (one may be a Frenchy, built by Franco-Beige) The following shunter was used at Magadi Soda works until 1970 KUR Edi class of 1926 Some more to follow Edited July 21, 2013 by Paperlad 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperlad Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 In addition to the loco's there's a lot of other 'stuff' just lying around: 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperlad Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 In addition to the loco's and stock, most of the infrastructure was provided by UK manufacturers. Most of the following are from present day Nairobi station and not from the museum. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

milkman matt Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Victorian Railways "R" Class locos built by North British in 1951. Just in time to be quickly displaced by incoming Diesel electrics. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoingUnderground Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) Apologies if someone has already mentioned it, but the prototype EM1/Class 76 ran in Holland whilst the Woodhead route was being built. it was the Dutch who gave the loco the name "Tommy". Also no one has included the Metropolitan Railway's 1863 A Class 4-4-0T locos. These were to a design originally intended for the Tudela & Bilbao Railway in Spain, and were ordered by the Met after the GWR withdrew its locos and rolling stock. Not just a case of a British designed loco working overseas, or of a loco being exported once it was surplus to requirements in Britain, but a design that operated from new in both countries at the same time.

Not just a case of a British designed loco working overseas, or of a loco being exported once it was surplus to requirements in Britain, but a design that operated from new in both countries at the same time. It wasn't unusual for independent builders to supply common designs to railways at home and abroad. In the case of the "Met Tanks", five were also built for the Rheinische bahn in Germany, besides others to the Metropolitan & District, LNWR, Midland and South Eastern. Besides "IZARRA" at Bilbao, there are a further ninety British built steam locomotives (as well as a handful of diesels and electrics) preserved in Spain. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grovenor Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Rather surprised no-one has yet mentioned India. The inspiration behind this is pretty clear, just they left the 'L' off the lettering. The other NWR locos in the Delhi museum have the livery but perhaps got their inspiration elsewhere, Gorton might recognise this one. While this has a sort of affinity with the WD.

GoingUnderground Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Thank you for posting that photo of "Izarra", i didn't know that any of the Tudela & Bilbao locos had been "preserved". I've taken the liberty of creating the composite below. The photo of Met No 23 comes from the LT Museum's Collections web pages. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devonbelle Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 And then of course there were the four BR class 20s shipped to France in 1992, in gaudy CFD orange blue and white; remaining there for over 10 years working freight trains. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 5944 Posted November 3, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) Three Drewry shunters were exported to Eritrea in 1941. It seems two still survive, one awaiting a new engine at Asmara, and the other still servicable at Massawa. http://www.trainweb.org/eritrean/scrapbook/what/motive_power/drewry-diesels.html http://www.ferroviaeritrea.it/the_drewery_car___preston_london.htm Despite going there last year, I failed to take any shots of them! Bit of a way to go back just for a couple of photos. Edited November 3, 2013 by 5944 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
