jonny777 Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Do you have a SR 3rd rail layout, but would love to buy a green class 27 to run on it?

Wickham Green Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Yes, it's easy to forget that these were Eastern Region locos before they migrated north of the border !

DavidB-AU Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 D5379-D5415 were originally allocated to Cricklewood and got as far as Leeds, Birmingham and Tilbury. I don't know how far south they got. There are a couple of photos on Flickr of them on Leicester - Peterborough DMU replacements. Cheers David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look quite right to me. Was wondering if the coaches are off to be scrapped by the condition of them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC this is how modern mainline crossovers are transported, using the long IFA tilting point carrier wagons. Even with their tilting deck, you still can’t transport a full piece of trackwork on the UK loading gauge. Jack. 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
