The caption for this image on Flickr correctly states: “37417 sets back its load of empty CDAs from Carne Point into the Rocks sidings. The roof of Goonbarrow Junction signal box is just visible in the background.” Carne Point is on the Fowey river and is where china clay is loaded onto ships for export.

Here's a view of the non-Driving Trailer end of TP08 (coach 11508) in case the weathered detail, normally hidden by the coupled class 68, is of future use to anyone wanting to weather their forthcoming @Accurascale Fran TPE Mark 5.

Tom Burnham Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 What are the boxes on either side of the end, please? They look like the anti-override blocks the Great Central experimented with, but I'm sure they aren't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The anti override blocks would be lower I expect if they were there, AFAIK they need to correspond with the block on the opposing stock. Note on the driving end has its blocks directly above the buffers which is where they are on most things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian I can't remember where the train originated but I do remember it was a Didcot driver bringing it into Padd, we used to secondman him on the light engine move down to Old Oak so he could have his break. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugd1022 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Photo by Trevor Collins : D6749 at Kings X in 1965.... As an aside I've often thought that 1965 would be 'a good year to model' in almost any location in the UK, with (pretty much) green diesels everywhere and oodles of steam era infrastructure abounding. 7 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
