18B Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Morning just wondering what is the small engine on this rail head? near to the former stoke Cockshute depot https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.0124082,-2.192686,325m/data=!3m1!1e3 regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Neil Posted October 8, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 8, 2017 I can't see an engine on the link you've posted despite using the 3d feature and whizzing about the site. If you haven't already tried 3D I would recommend that you try; I've put an explanatory piece here on the web forum 'Western Thunder'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG John Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I can't see an engine on the link you've posted despite using the 3d feature and whizzing about the site. If you haven't already tried 3D I would recommend that you try; I've put an explanatory piece here on the web forum 'Western Thunder'. You got me excited then, until I tried it on a location that I'm interested in, where they obviously haven't done whatever clever photography is needed to make it work yet!

RMweb Gold big jim Posted October 8, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 8, 2017 As with Neil i can't see any loco on either side of the tracks in cockshute or the China clay terminal I know from my mk1 eyeballs there is an abandoned SPA wagon dumped in the north end of cockshute sidings though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I wonder if he means "small engine shed" There is one there off the spur, must have been an industrial loco to shunt those sidings in the past, there is also a track leading off into the DHL site, I can't remember what used to be here but if there were more sidings then perhaps a non-BR shunter was once required.

SM42 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Yes this is Cliffe Vale china clay terminal. The final destination for 6M72 and start point of 6V70. Trains I used to see on regular basis on my way to school for 6M72 and later in they evening for 6V70 during the 1980s. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
