Note what's at the other end of the dmu car Next, stopping with diesel hydraulics but moving to a factory a bit further south - a Hymek in regular BR service on an ordinary service train (i.e. not a test train) Edited June 20, 2017 by The Stationmaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted June 21, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 21, 2017 Some steam in South Wales - an 0-6-2T would be good but not compulsory! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Well it is steam and it is in South Wales - but apologies for something rather inferior to that probably expected. However, the reason for posting this is to attempt to verify the identity (and subsequent disposition) of the locomotive. It clearly has the number "5622" painted on, but I don't think the "real" 5622 went to Woodham brothers' scrapyard, being recorded as broken up at Cashmore's. Let's have a named main-line diesel or electric next - but not in the UK where such things are common-place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John ks Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 These Electrics may be 3'6" Gauge but they are main line Their primary task was to transport coal from the mines to the ports for export Next I've done the electric, now how about a named diesel, again not in the UK John 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blue Streak Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) "how about a named diesel" MP 2700n CBH002 (Mooterdine) Edit - Mooterdine is a now defunct grain siding in WA, CBH loco's are named after Grain Sidings that are closed.

EddieB Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Avoiding the obvious US "lash ups", here's a meeting of two multi-headed freights at Minaar, South Africa (1992). This was the location of transfer sidings from the Tweefontein Collieries system, which were still using former SAR GMAM Garratts on shunting and transfer duties at that time. The train behind is headed by four 10E/10E1 locomotives (the leading locomotive out of shot), the one in front three 6E1 locomotives. Staying with multiples - next please a multi-section or articulated bodied diesel or electric. Edited June 21, 2017 by EddieB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blue Streak Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 ###### beaten to it Never mind Hilux. But assuming I'm correct and Eddies Sth African Loco's are the gauge I think they are. That's 4 pictures in a row of 3'6" narrow gauge mainline loco's. That has to be worth something !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd almost forgotten I had this...........The EW class were built in the UK by English Electric in 1952 for the New Zealand Government Railways. The seven member class was confined to the 1500v DC network around Wellington for most of its regular working life, with the last example withdrawn in 1988.

leopardml2341 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Leipzig IIRC Whoops,forgot the next. Gimme a minute or two..... Ok, how about a loco that is in a livery different to that normally expected for the class of loco, but not - Advertising, promotional or commemorative i.e. a variation on a standard for the type. Does that make sense? It's far too warm Edited June 21, 2017 by leopardml2341 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted June 21, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Is this non-standard enough - a named 09? Until fairly recently the Brighton carriage shunter.

I thought it could be 6686 from similar "damage", but that's the first time I've seen "5622" referenced as such. Quite interesting to see how locos got moved around at Woodhams over the years - attempts to match by neighbouring engines hasn't worked in this instance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted June 21, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Perhaps my challenge was a bit extreme - here's the Stratford works shunter - no bunker - no problem! Perhaps all the coal helped adhesion! Not adviseable to shunt too vigorously though. Treat yourself to a wild card!

bingley hall Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) A 3-car DMU featuring 3 different liveries forms part of a 7-car consist on a Scarborough to Leeds services near York in May 1981.

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted June 22, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) I suppose I should play nice - four different liveries of passenger coach (or MU cars) in the same train. This would be my debut to this thread then. When it gets to big numbers of mixed coaches in a train you can always rely on a railtour... this is either 4 or 5 depending on your definition of passenger coach. This stock on this tour was louder than the Brit (which is a hard thing to do).. it included in the consist 2 Generator cars and the infamous Green buffet with square wheels. so next up .. 5 different liveries on 5 different passenger coaches or unit cars. Anything in the rules about going twice, as I have a definite candidate for 5, and 6. Edited June 22, 2017 by adb968008 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
