T.&R.S.M.D - Masboro Booths P S (13:16) - Mk3s for scrapping Great picture Dave, quite of few people today seemed to take their daily exercise at the time when we were due. There is going to be some super fit people about after this as some of them were still exercising on our return. Quite sad taking perfectly serviceable coaches for scrap. On arrival at rotherham I did the ground work, they wanted all the coaches split but they said all the pipes were scrap so I just shut the brake pipe cocks pulled buckeye chain and got the loco to draw forward most separated ok but one tore the cock from the headstock. No problem though as they will never see air again. On a plus note a substantial amount have found new owners. Hard to believe that this really is more or less the end of conventional hauled stock as mk4 and especially mk5 are far from conventional 4 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Scottish-Exile Posted April 1, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 1, 2020 With the Rhymney Valley services having come to an end, 37 418 and 37 421 are now in storage at Landore along with 10 x Mk2s. Today saw 418 fired up as part of it's weekly exam And 421 arriving light engine from Derby. Locos & coaches being kept in readiness should they be required back in service for TfW, although in the present climate, this is unlikely. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold russ p Posted April 2, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 2, 2020 37032 was the first preserved 37 to move under it's own power and work a train driven by myself At the time it was a bit of a forgotten loco but a lot of work was going on quietly including taking the main gen out and having it reconditioned which involved power unit removal. Two of the lads involved are sadly no longer with us Chris Broadhurst and Tony Long. But were very happy and rewarding times looking back even though I'm sure we had problems with the loco 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish the sanding gantry had been there when I was a secondman there as if you were on the shed one of the duties was to fill the sand boxes with a sand can and if the loco was empty it took ages Apparently the sanding gantry wasn't too reliable the drying building was there for many years after the gantry had gone. Don't think ever seen a sand gantry anywhere else that spanned so many roads 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
