What was he thinking painting it light grey? I wonder what the sister loco at the other end was. I also googled Sarah Siddons and she’s a famous Georgian tragedy actress!

Pushing rather than dragging doesn't seem to be a problem for slow speed moves. The whole trtack layout must be custom made due to it's odd nature. That spare bit of rail is a bit of a puzzle though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if it was only a 1 wagon train? Yes, the trip working from Ellistown exchange sidings (top end in staff speak) to Mantle Lane , Coalville, was about half a mile on falling gradient for the loaded train. No brakevan required, working covered by a local instruction in the sectional appendix. Incidentally with empty MGR's for "top end" the foreman would simply come out of the office and tap the top of his head, we knew where we were going.

w124bob Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 From a Flickr picture with a very long link https://tinyurl.com/5yct8vhs 20037 with one medfit and an odd load near Toton, no date. I looked hard for the vac pipe, so may even be running loose coupled. This has to be modelled on an exhibition layout. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that looking at the timbers in the wagon they may have made it hard to put the lamp on the bracket? 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
