08 on a trip working.

 

post-89-0-41283700-1543867665_thumb.jpg

 

This was 1981, I think, and may have been at Ashbury's, or perhaps the 08 was named Ashbury's. Manchester area, anyway, on a trip from Guide Bridge to Reddish

 

Nice mix of wagons, though

 

Regards

That's one heck of a Sandite tank.....

Forgive me if I'm teaching egg sucking...

 

The tank does actually contain sand, rather than sandite, and it is (was) towed around the system to the various termini of each route.

 

At each terminus there is (was) a sand bunker from which the drivers could replenish the sand hoppers in the tram if needed; these were in turn replenished from the hopper being towed.
