The railways of Ben Ashworth country.

08`s in the Forest.


Recommended Posts

Hi guy`s,

 

I`ve just picked up a copy of 'Dean Forest Footplate Memories' by Bob Barnett,and flicking through the book i came upon a picture of an 08!.

The photo is dated 8th march 62',and it`s at the stop`s in Cinderford Town.

From a description in the book,this is the only time one has been on the Bullo branch,but i was wondering have these shunters ever been used else where in the forest?.

I have read some where else that this might be the case,but this is the first picture i`ve ever seen!.

 

Ta very much,

 

Brian.

Ah.....perhaps i should have been a bit more precise!.

 

I was thinking of the day`s of 'old'!,roughly between 64' & 74'.

 

Nice pictures though ParkeNd.

 

Thanks,

 

Brian.

My 1965 (14/ June - 5 September 1965) WTT does not diagram a 350HP shunter in the forest. That isn't to say one wasn't seen up there, just that it isn't in the timetable.
