leopardml2341 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 ^^^^ just googled that unit, 'cause I thought it might be Northern economising on transfers by masking the number when repainting the yellow. But it's ATW (as was)! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted January 28, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 28, 2019 We are so use to conventional turnouts but that arrangement neatly side steps all our issues about check rail clearances, back to back etc though how to arrange electrical supply with just one rail could be difficult unless there was also OHLE.

LMS2968 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 You also have a minor problem in that, instead of moving two short and light bits of rail, you're moving a substantial piece of infrastructure, and you still have the problem of ensuring that everything is in line.

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted January 28, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 28, 2019 About those "points" Would they be classed as a railway system? Would they be classed as a tramway system? Or would it be classed as a guided busway? Discuss Note there are no flanged wheels and runs on rubber tyres but it derives it's power from a conductor rail.

Yeah, it's quite common, some just have '2' or '7', some have '52' or '57' on the appropriate half. Cheers, Phil. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 Have you bought a job lot of old Triang Hornby R340s and wonder if you can put more than one or two in any one train? Of course you can, and have a single class 20 for the haulage loco as well. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium keefer Posted February 4, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 4, 2019 3 x TRUK restaurant cars plus a TGS (for the guard) - they don't look ex-works so maybe going for overhaul or conversion. Can't remember how many HST sets had TRUK/TRSB by the early '80s, but there were a good few surplus as full-meal provision was cut back and could be provided with TRUBs. Many were converted to Royals or LHCS. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted February 4, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 4, 2019 Hi Poss power car testing or more likely TRUKs going to store when the ever changing feast of HST buffet trailers was an ongoing one - TRUKS out TRSB for starters in while shuffling TRUBs in the main and mulling over TRBFs for pudding.

Many were converted to Royals or LHCS. I don't know if it is related, but I turned up at Huntingdon station one day, just as a similar (or even same?) train went through - northbound I think? The date must have been post 1983 , possibly up to mid-80s or slightly longer, and the weather was good as I remember it being warm, so summer? This was at the time of a lnumber of conversions, as I tried to get the numbers but failed, and never got any responses to their id from anybody.

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted February 4, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 4, 2019 DIdnt the GWR (And WR) run an entire train of catering vehicles on a Friday evening from Paddington to the West Country?

The book "British Rail at Work: East Midlands" has a photo of a set with the same formation - it says it was for crew-training. Dated 24th September 1982 and said to consist of 43195, 43196, 40516, 40514, 40512 and 44093. Rob 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
