DOCJACOB Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 Not been here for few months and clearly infrastructure team have been busy. I understand empty TPE stock working this AM and not the reason I was there at a stupid hour 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCJACOB Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 Work took me to different surgery so just had to stop off. Not sure why Roxton Siding Box still survives the re-signalling. Usual suspects locomotive wise but the Airbus A400M was a bonus circling around. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul G Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Good morning Dr. You had some photos of the tioxide wagons I was wondering if you have any higher resolution images that show the data on the wagon sides more clearly? An example of each type are preserved at Frodingham Rly and I recently took photos and measurements. Someone is currently 3D printing a train of said wagons for my model of Great coates No1. Without the aforementioned info they will stay plain grey with red or yellow tops as unfortunately Frodingham has repainted the wagons obliterating all original numbering etc. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wagon shown is one of the red tops on a shortened TSV (Airfix) chassis. The yellow tops being on 20 ton Anchor mounted tank chassis. The BR livery and number are fictional! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were only ever intended to work between Immingham and Grimsby and at the time unfitted trains were the norm. The same was applied to the Alcan hoppers in Northumberland they were built new as unfitted and in the end both were running under special instructions in the operating notices. The illmenite ones suffered from spell check as they carried illuminate according to the instructions! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Frodingham have repainted them as iron ore tipplers I'm interested in any images that show detail of the original livery. As for the year I'm not keeping this in too tight a frame on my model as apart from getting more overgrown the location didn't change that much from mid 80s to mid 90s.

DOCJACOB Posted August 1, 2022 Author Share Posted August 1, 2022 Pretty much covered it already. My earlier images in this thread appear to have gone AWOL The ilmenite workings were generally 6/52 cycle. I do have images of me chasing a 37 with a selection of the red/yellow tops in tow. I'll try and re-scan at some point. I seem to recall they were some of last un-fitted workings in UK?? Hopefully images of earlier re-bodied versions upload. They were ex SNCF types with cupboard doors Image 10391 remains and is back on rails image10392 (contains top half of 10391) has long since met the scrap man 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to ask my contact at Frodingham to be sure about that (he also works at the works) but I rather got the impression that the two preserved examples were given as they were to be disposed of. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOCJACOB Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 Appleby Frodingham Railway Preservation Society. Recently their very nicely restored Austerity was at Lincolnshire Wolds Occasionally steam tours of extensive rail network as I recall. Platform visible from local road. afrps.co.uk is a useful/informative stop. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do tours of the works on a pacer that they only ask for a donation for as well as steam and diesel brake van tours that have to be booked. Nice picture of the Austerity at LWR, I used to be a regular there, in more recent years I've been volunteering with the LCLR at Skegness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
