jamessolomon Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Was down here for an event and walking around the town behind Waitrose is the Network Rail training centre with many locos around and such. My question is what is Paddock Woods purpose and what are the items in the pics What's it say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH-UK Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 That is a rail grinder and it was in Woking on Saturday lunchtime. It grinds the rails to the correct profile and is quite a sight, particularly at night. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium phil-b259 Posted July 31, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 31, 2017 The locos / On Track Plabt and the NR training centre are completely unrelated. The training centre is there to run courses on signalling equipment for the S&T, track mainteance course for the P-way and general safety course for both departments as well as Telecoms and Electrification. It has no involvement in rolling stock matters other than training up the likes of 'Machine controllers' etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyddrail Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) The Down yard where the single line maintenance machine & rail grinder were photographed is a Network Rail materials depot where track machines are berthed. The NR training school is on the Up side. Cheers. Edited July 31, 2017 by Lyddrail Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
