RMweb Gold stovepipe Posted December 14, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 14, 2021 Very interesting photos there Nige. I've had a quick scan through Modern Railways, and there are a couple of workings with BRCW type 2s noted in this period. 1st Feb 1963 D5382+5385 heading south through Purley on special coal working. Easter Sunday 1963 D5381 on a Bedford to Brighton excursion, which it worked throughout 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium keefer Posted December 24, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 24, 2021 (edited) i think that counts as a pretty rare pic: While still LMR-allocated, a consecutively numbered pair of Brush Type 2s in multiple and with the gangways in use!

RMweb Gold rodent279 Posted December 26, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 26, 2021 I think I've read that the Co-Bo is the only loco left with intact, working corridor connections.

It must have been policy to remove them even if the doors remain. D5061 doesn't have them and don't think 5500 does either I can't think of any other locos with doors except 37s but when air brake equipment was added both nose ends had extra equipment added which took up space of the gangways 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should've just called them 27s As has been alluded to in other posts, they’re at Thornaby because D5370-8 were allocated there from new until Jan 66 when they moved to the LMR, shared between Leicester and Nottingham Divisions of the Midland Lines and stayed for several years till the mass move to Scotland from 1969 ish onwards. Non boiler fitted from new and thus with a distinct lack of equipment between the bogies, these are easily identified in photos - which begs the question why the nose connections were actually in use on what were, nominally, freight locos… Edited December 27, 2021 by MidlandRed auto correct inaccuracies 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know from my recent experience learning to drive trains that you are taught everything a piece of traction can do which includes those things you will never do in a month of Sunday's but because it is on the training schedule and part of the overall competency, you get taught it anyway. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think these trains originated in Leicester, heading north initially via Melton Mowbray, then via Oakham and Ketton to Helpston Jn. Here's D5414 again, at Ketton on what is described as 2M59 Peterborough - Leicester. Edited February 1, 2022 by stovepipe Photo 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold stovepipe Posted February 1, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 1, 2022 And another one of D5414 (again) on a Peterborough East - Leicester service in 1965, about to diverge onto the Oakham line. P 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
