St. Simon Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hi, Some good reference Photographs there. By the way, those aren't Network Rail Tampers, the top one is owned by Carillion and the bottom owned by Javis (although probably someone else who hasn't rebranded it yet). The Network Rail Owned Tampers can be identified by Network Rail Logos. Here's one of Network Rail's Harsco Rail Grinders at Eastleigh: Plus, Colas Rail Tampers at Swindon: Simon 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious NSE Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Here are few Tamper machines ive come across... There are that many different types across the rail network ... I would really appreciate it if you wouldn't use my images without any kind of permission or credit. I do ask folk for the former (see the front page of my site) - I would have given permission for you to use them here to illustrate a thread (i've done that many times before), i'd probably even have ignored it if you'd been bothered to credit the images to myself or the site, but in this case you even imply that they are your photo's and i'm not prepared to accept that. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious NSE Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Just so it doesn't spoil a positive thread for others - here's the two images - 73105 is arriving to stable (with that Colas machine in the background) at Westbury, 30th Oct 2006.And the Jarvis image dates from way, way back on the 14th Oct 2003, (so it was really a Jarvis machine back then!) - Stabled at Barnetby in a very handy place for a shot from the footbridge. 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugsley Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 They are Donelli PD350 single line relayers. They work on rails laid to the outside of the four foot - here's a video of them (or a similar type of gantry) in action: That's an interesting wagon that they're on, in BR days they were usually transported on Lowmacs. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 The wagon's a retired 'Comtic', built by SNAV of Lyon during the 1980s for Railease (the Standard Wagon/Barclay's Bank joint-venture). Some later went to MAT, then STVA, others to Tolemans, I believe. In the early days of the Channel Tunnel, they ran to Italy with Land-Rovers etc, as well as a short-term flow of tractors. One of the French infrastrucure companies has a specially built, very low, loco to work with the Donelli machines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastwestdivide Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Maybe this counts, maybe not - seems to be a trolley or two fitted with low plastic seats???, attached to a road-rail ATV/golf cart-type vehicle, plus another trolley the other end. Any other theories on the "seats"? From the Hatfield Colliery landslip reconstruction in 2013: 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
