is it only me that sees this and thinks ohhhhh rabbit warren potential?

 

On the west bank of the Rhone (La Voulte???) there was a similar scene. The single line, which had come across a bridge over the river, curved round in the tunnel to rejoin the main line. So it's not confined to the US.

Translating from Swedish doesn't help - only gives loco dates.

 

Not quite in the same league, but greedy boards were still in use in the 21st century !

 

 

And the GWR had them all along.........

If it's really of any interest, I could ask on a Swedish forum.

 

And the reply that I got was that it is indeed peat in the nearest locomotives tender.

Or even more recently:

 

150210 Winwick

 

Flickr pic, but I’ve got one of this unit somewhere in the archives but from before I started adding notes to photos, so I’ve got little chance of finding it...

 

Jack.

 

150226 was another. (There is a pic somewhere on RMweb of it)

This happened when the Centro/West Mids 3-car units were reformed back into 2-car 1502's as they were passed onto Northern in 2011.

The three car units were made by using splitting a few 150/2s and making up three-car units with other 150s (usually a 150/1) and renumbered into the 150/0 series. 

 

150011.

 

150010

I've heard a few anecdotes over the years of guards putting push-bikes in the van and drivers/firemen putting theirs on top of the coal in the tender, but this one of J77 68391 at Bishop Auckland (27/06/1953) is a new one on me (cue for several other examples to be posted .......)

 

 

But is it showing the right lamp code?:jester:

 

Makes a change from hanging on the hooks on the back of a pannier tank

I like those MOW trains which have rails at their top edge and the digger/grab can run down the length of the train from wagon to wagon.

 


way beyond my abilities, but someone has to model that.
