I guess that including a picture of something occuring on a preserved railway is cheating slightly, but even for that it's still pretty unusual...

They've got it wrong, you are supposed to hack the cab off for a re-enaction of a class 13.:D

Funnily enough the GBRf railtour last weekend featured a bit of double headed 08 haulage albeit within the confines of Eastleigh yard.

Haha now I can’t unsee it. 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!

Came from Brecon originally, and there is a pub named after her in the town that does a very good ham and cheese toastie…

Need to cram in your point work so that the toe of one point needs to be just before the preceding vee of the adjacent point BUT can't work out how to do it...

Not only are there only two O/H wires but they dont swap ends with the trolley pole when moving in and out of the shed.

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.

Were there any circumstances under which an unfitted train could be run without a brakevan?

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.

From tram.co.uk and Seaton Tramway webcam site. Doesn't show that odd rail though.

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.

Sorry, but the photo owner specifically quotes copyright so I thought it wiser to just post a link .

Why is the tail lamp hung from the coupling hook, and not from a lamp iron?
