Rivercider Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I thought the footbridge looked like Clapham Junction. Do these other pic`s help?

Bomag Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 The tour was Leeds to Llandudno, but where are the waterstops? Peter It looks like my father stood next to the water crane on the second photo. He and Lord Garnock were friends due to both owning ex LNER locos (both at Neville Hill for a time). I think it was this trip that Lord G - having been on the loco since lighting up - walked into one of the poshest hotels in Llandudno and said he was Lord Garnock and would they mind if he got a could of hours sleep in one of the chairs in the lounge!

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted October 15, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 15, 2015 I don't know about the location but the lift looks very much to be either a practice or demonstration rather than the real thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted October 15, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 15, 2015 I don't know about the location but the lift looks very much to be either a practice or demonstration rather than the real thing. Agree. Locos seldom come off on plain track to the extent that they require a crane. Pack and jack would be sufficient in many cases. Could be Toton right at the northern end of the yards.

runs as required Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 As usual I'm reacting too late to the Dowty/Ashchurch posts above as this interesting thread has rolled rapidly onwards. ICI talks of Dowty and the NCB retarders in the Team Valley, but Dowty reatrders were perhaps best known for their computerised application at the short lived hump marshalling yard at Tinsley. This yard and its automated operation promised so much in the 'White Heat of Technology' of the early 1960s, though the retarders proved difficult to maintain because of hydraulics oil leakage. I remember in the BR(E)CCE's R&D group at KingsX we once had a (pre Beeching) presentation from Dowty about a nationwide waggonload distribution system using track mounted plungers to accelerate/retard waggon wheels as they passed. Perhaps the ex Dowty member of this Forum could shed more light on this ambitious vision - way back in the punched cards days of data input. dhig PS I've found those images of the dead and dying above most depressing as we have lived thru a shockingly short-sighted ambandonment of our tradional manufacturing base - as compared to Germany. The interiors of Swindon works were magnificent - surely such a resource could have been adapted to changing contemporary needs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I mentioned the use Dowty retarders at Team Valley. In relation to the NCB I just mentioned Roof Supports. You can see the retarder/accelerators between the nearest track in the pic of Ashchurch I linked to in the above post. http://www.tewkesbur.../times-gone-by/ You can also hear the racket they made in this film of them in operation at Tinsley. Despite there being many other sources of noise in the area, I bet the locals were never very happy when the Dowty system was in operation. https://youtu.be/UUguvy54HkE The "noise" starts at 2m : 40s Perhaps the ex Dowty member of this Forum could shed more light on this ambitious vision - way back in the punched cards days of data input. My statement may have mislead you a little. The forum member manufactures 4mm scale Dowty and Oleos buffers. It was his old man that had the company links.
