class 08s working box wagon trains

[crazynitwit]

after recently starting a new layout based on a cement works i have started looking at other locos (bar my sentinel and an old lima class 37[currently needs repair]) as space is limited could i feasably run an 08 on a small train of 2-3 vga wagons saying that its only a small private railway.

A hired 08 with deliveries of coal in MEA's and or MKA's (former TRL POA's).

Trip workings from a nearby yard, definitely something which the 08s would have done regularly.

So picking up concrete blocks In a vga wagon and taking them off scene would be fine. Sounds good to me

A Harry Needle 09 has just started working at Manchester Collyhurst Street on behalf of GBRf shunting their new bogie box wagons for a flow of what I am told is contaminated land spoil being railed over to Scunthorpe presumably into one of the former ironstone quarry pits there?

Blocks would be carried in open wagons such as the OBA.

 

Vans would be used for bagged cement that needs to be kept dry.

 

Either way, an 08 and a couple of wagons wouldn't look out of place.
