It failed and was just dumped there I'm guessing. BR was in the process of scrapping them in the early 80s so I guess they weren't in a rush to fix a rather dated loco.

Coach bogie Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) 92043 at Northwick park with the Up sleepers on 3.6.21. Very over grown here now making photography very difficult. For the earlier working I tried Kenton for 92038. Mike Wiltshire Edited July 28, 2021 by Coach bogie 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not had the domino headcode treatment, so might have been U/S for a while. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

( Apart from not very much) I think 83008 was knackered and never ran again. I recall something about 83008 and Longsight, and I know I saw it at LO several times as a “non running resident” used for some internal purpose, electrification train pantograph testing comes to mind but I don't remember. tbh I cannot fully recall, however it wasn't withdrawn until 1983, was scrapped with blinds, not converted. I cannot find any pictures of it running post 1981, only images taken at various sidings around LO, which is inline with my recollections. I seem to think 83009 was the same at LO for a while used around the depot for non service purposes too Edited July 29, 2021 by adb968008 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 46011 Posted July 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2021 Two photos from Preston, taken on Wednesday 29th May 1985. That evening Liverpool would play Juventus at the Heysel Stadium in Belgium. 87006 City of Glasgow stands at the South of the station having brought me in from Carlisle on 1M20, the 11:05 Glasgow Central to London Euston service. I think that's 47586 in the bay platform. 86433 stands at the North of the station, taken from 87034 William Shakespeare on 1S69, the 11:45 London Euston to Glasgow Central service taking me back to Carlisle. I believe 86433 had been converted from 86033 earlier that month and would be named Wulfruna at Wolverhampton in a couple of days time. Notice the dark grey band on the nose follows the line along the body. The yellow on the nose would be moved up to below the window by the time it was named. 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PECO and Dapol have picked up the baton but have gone head to head instead of complementary components :-( I have some sympathy with modellers who avoid "knitting" because it's very easy to damage when accessing the track. However a lot of modellers of the modern railway seem to contrive geographical oddities so as NOT to have wiring on their layouts (the old "It's a non-electrified loop off the WCML in the Warrington Area" Chestnut). The layouts I see with wiring are usually of a very high standard, because a modeller who wants to get the catenary right will be a modeller who invariably wants to get EVERYTHING right. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be fair I just use the uprights and omit the wires. My layout has too many hard to reach areas to have the knitting. I do have ID plates etc on them though lol. I could never run an electric train with no representation of wiring at all. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
