RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted January 17, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Not as exotic as some items on this thread, but as we all know, pics of Claytons working are thin on the ground. I don't recall seeing one with such a varied short consist before. If you don't have much space and fancy a class 17 then this could be for you.

Hi Metroland, Even more interesting that part of the consist appears to be a Taylor Hubbard 5 ton crane and its jib runner and match truck.

Wickham Green Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 If the mine was at the top of the hills and the destination at the bottom ( natural if it's a port ) it should be possible to do away with all the locos and make the whole thing self-acting. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know the driver, secondman, fitter and the guard are not pushing the loco from the back of the guards van. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of research going on about alternatives to coking coal, including carbon from natural gas and even recycled plastic and rubber. But they are a looooong way off industrial use.
