RMweb Gold nigb55009 Posted July 13, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 13, 2023 If you click on the Flickr image of the class 81 at Beattock, there appears to be a brake van on the rear. That would suggest the reporting number would be class 7,8 or 9. I suppose if one of the wagons is carrying dangerous goods, then it could also be a class 6, but there doesn`t seem anything obvious in the train.

Nearholmer Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) If you ferret around in YouTube, there is film of the southern end of the WCML during steam-diesel-electric transition, which shows a right royal mixture of freight train compositions. Until I saw it, it had never occurred to me that for a few years one could stand at Watford Junction and see practically the entire Hornby Dublo catalogue, and a good part of the Triang one too, go past in a single morning. look for films by A G Denyer ( I’m sure his son worked at Selhurst on the southern in the 1970s).

Not quite, the two containers on the right are fitted with 'twistlocks' and 'Freightliner' fittings, and can be lifted from the top or bottom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conditional WTT Section B, 7th October 1974 to 4th May 1975 lists: 8S58 21:52 Electric Carlisle to Mossend, due departure at Beatock 22:55. Mandatory WTT Section B, 7th May 1973 to 5th May 1974 lists: 7S58 Class 37 to Highstreet, due departure at Beatock 15:43. Those cover the possibilities in the ScR WTT's I have, perhaps someone else can shed light on the subject. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
