Grimleygrid Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Whilst searching on Flickr I came across this photo of Redland PGAs at the Channel Tunnel Railhead in September 1991; https://flic.kr/p/9SS2od Thought it might be of interest.

simon br blue Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 A very good find Simon, thanks for sharing. Interesting to note that quite a few of the PGAs had the full protection panels fitted. The Grid sounded superb pulling off and working hard to get the loaded train going. Nice photos too, chopper on hoppers, quality! Do you happen to have a date for the class 66 shot please? I see that the rear PGA still had ladders and walk ways. Thanks for posting. Photo was taken 26.7.13 Got another photo showing the wagon but cant make out the number. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talltim Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Do you know, I looked at that pic lots of times and it taken me until now to realise the hopper is on the track behind, rather than being an accident damaged wheel-less body dumped on a flat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a wee look on my files and Flickr but i only used to put the loco number on not the train or wagon code so god knows if i have any Redland Hopper shots behind loco's?

RBE Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Wow that looks awesome on the 60! I'm glad that the weekend went well. I would have loved to have been there to support our stand but Alex and Neil did a great job. Well done guys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimleygrid Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 It certainly does Cav, I can just imagine a Redland green version behind a 60 or 56! Or a Lafarge version behind a DB 60 or 66....

Marcus 37 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Looks absolutely stunning guys. Having been close and personal with these wagons the under frame detail including the unloading chute actuators look superb. Here's hoping you get those final orders so you can proceed.
