black and decker boy Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 You’d need to be a bit more specific. What era? Basic info here http://www.brdatabase.info/locoqry.php?action=locodata&type=D&id=8134&loco=8134 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Controller Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Hi all looking for more info on D8134 I know it was scrapped in the 90s but what services did it do? And where was it based? http://www.brdatabase.info/locoqry.php?action=locodata&id=8134&type=D&loco=8134 gives a precis of its history. It's fairly safe to say it spent its days hauling freight around the Midlands, perhaps sometimes working excursions to the seaside in the summer.

Fat Controller Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) OK thanks a lot so mineral and coal trains? Mainly, though there'd be other types of freight as well. I remember going to Toton Yard and Depot on a BR-sponsored course over the Easter vac in 1972- the place had wall-to-wall EE Type 1s. Quite breath-taking for someone who had seen only the odd pair of them at places like Gloucester up until then. If you're looking to model the beast, then a train with some of the recently-announced 24.5t minerals and hoppers would be just the ticket.
