Glorious NSE Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Concrete cable ducting seems to have been one of the more common loads for opens: http://ukrailrollingstock.fotopic.net/p3177613.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(if you knew him you know what I mean, if not then you will have to stay in the dark I'm afraid.) - no pictures though But Dave, I do have some pictures. Working with J.S. many times. Can't find the brake vans yet. The LMS blue van and the SR Queen Mary (a nice van to travel in) S&T trains had variety round here, some to be going on with, more when I find them. Merfyn. Late 80s and the S&T livery appeared on both Pipe and Tube wagons mainly used for troughs. A tube wagon at Chester. And a Pipe wagon. December 88 and a resignaling job near Bangor. Former Bogie Bolster E with empty cable drums. A Bogie Bolster D. Cable runner built on a Mark 1 coach chassis. Ex. LNER Lowmac with more empty drums. A Bogie Well wagon used for unloading locations. From an earlier job in 1978. The mole plough train for running an burying cable. The Lowmac wagon with a vibrating roller mounted on a Hiab type crane to restore the cess.

AberdeenBill Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Same link Chester S&T had their own motley collection of stock - "acquired" over the years, good old Mr St... (if you knew him you know what I mean, if not then you will have to stay in the dark I'm afraid.) - no pictures though In the good old days, the S&T department also has some of their own vehicles built new, with codes of WINKLE (a standard plate wagon), PRAWN (a C bolster) and WHITING (a pure GWR type with low fixed wooden sides). There are pictures in some of Dave Larkin's old books from the 1970s. Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted March 23, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 23, 2010 S&T loads could well include rows of signal heads. Recall a colleague who had been out on nights while replacement signal heads were craned into position, so an S&T crane nearby would look good. Hopefully your efforts will be a little better than his mates' on the night - they dropped one head off the crane, and it fell 20 feet into a scrapyard! As the say in Spain - hacienda that!
