great central Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 OK, what about a 2-4-0 (!!!) in steam as a stationary boiler quite some time after withdrawal. Can't remember the exact details off hand but could look them out if anyone's interested. img013 15 61943.jpg Next - what about a "proper" 2-4-0? Wow! That, I think, must be quite a rare photo, only seen one published one taken from the front just showing the smokebox. It looks as though there's someone in the cab as well, a mate perhaps? At Colwick, the K3 outlasted it's classmates by a couple of years until replaced by B1 61264 and we all know what happened to that one! A real shame the preservation world hadn't got going a little sooner. On a personal level that loco may also have memories. When I was at junior school, I was 8 or 9 at the time would have been second year, our then teacher decided to hook us up with penfriends at a school in Pickering. I didn't take to the idea much, no interest in girls then but the teacher did organise a trip for us to visit the other school and meet our penfriends as well as a trip to Fountains Abbey. The trip took the form of a special train from New Basford to York and bus onwards. Obvuiosly I was at the station early that morning and spotting well before the special arrived, I think my dad may have been with me before he went to work but as the station was only half a mile from home I often went there on my own anyway. In my notes which I still have somewhere I noted that loco and 61947 that morning so one of those was the train engine the others being freight locos. I barely remember the other parts of the trip but certainly remember elements of the train trip, one particularly vivid memory must have been in the Sheffield area of massive indusries with smoke and flames everywhere. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a bit later did it dawn that the steam locos were disappearing in proportion to the number of these new diesel locos appearing!

EddieB Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 BTW I'm still waiting to see the 16 wheel diesel! You only needed a peak or 40 or Bullied loco. Other sixteen wheeled diesels are available (e.g. 2-Do-2, Do-Do). Next: Broad gauge steam in regular service (e.g wider than standard gauge) Keith Pushing the definition of "regular service" a bit here, as I don't have any examples of working pre-preservation steam haulage. Here's a Russian gauge (1520mm) locomotive in steam, but only as a stationary boiler - a "regular" duty - but hardly what was intended! (I had thought the loco might still have been capable of independent movement, but I see that the connecting rods are not connected). L class 2-10-0 L-4198 at Jelgava, Latvia. This was in August 1997, the first day of my first visit to any of the Baltic States. Having helped myself to a solo walk around the "strategic reserve" at first light, it was time to chance a visit to the shed, fully expecting to be slung out politely asked to leave at any moment. No problem, the shed master was more interested in whether this "rich Westerner" would be interested in buying one of his fully steamable L class locomotives! If it is acceptable then the next photo will be a diesel or electric locomotive in British main line service that was later sold to a European railway. Bonus points for any "before" and "after" shots. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

devonseasider Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Wow! That, I think, must be quite a rare photo, only seen one published one taken from the front just showing the smokebox. It looks as though there's someone in the cab as well, a mate perhaps? Just done a quick check & it was 28th Feb 1965, a Sunday. I remember it was an organised coach trip courtesy of the Lancaster Railway Circle (Society?). After 50+ years I'm not completely sure of the precise name but there may be someone reading this who does, or perhaps even someone else who was on the trip. Stranger things have happened. I'm pretty sure I joined the coach in Preston - I was mid-teens & living in Blackpool back in those days. First stop was Nottingham shed, followed by Colwick, Toton, Annesley & Langwith then back home. At that time, Nottingham & Toton still had a bit of steam on shed although diesels were taking over rapidly. To be honest, the day's mostly "clouded in the mists of time" although I do remember that all of the original Peaks, D1 - D10 inclusive, were on Toton, there was a Scot on Annesley and Langwith had one of those funny new-fangled Clayton centre-cab things in the yard. Also saw quite a few ex-GCR 04 2-8-0s of various flavours. According to my notebook from the trip, the Brush 4 behind the K3 was probably D1533. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted June 14, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 14, 2017 Other sixteen wheeled diesels are available (e.g. 2-Do-2, Do-Do). Or even the "Fell" which I suppose is a 2-D-2 or later 2-B-B-2 Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bingley hall Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 In July 1981, classic former Pennsylvania Railroad GG1 electric no.4884 in service with the New Jersey Transit authority is seen at Newark, NJ with a westbound Amtrak service bound, if memory serves correctly, for Washington. The GG1 was covering for a failed Amtrak locomotive. I was staying with friends in New York for a few days and made a brief afternoon excursion to Newark in the hope of seeing one of these, what were then, rare beasts and ended up with two, the headlight of the second can be seen illuminating the carriage sides.

EddieB Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Nil desperandum. I was going to post an Italian former three-phase electric converted as a non-powered snowplough - but all my photos are on 120/220 film and I don't have a suitable scanner to hand. So here's a former Hungarian electric (V42 516) converted to a static heating unit at Pécs, last August. Next a diesel or electric with an odd number of axles.
