I spotted one there that was either ex-Port of London or ex-Port of Bristol, I forget which, a very smart dark blue, lined in red. Yeah, the picture intrigued me so much that I searched Flickr for any other pics of the site and I found these by Gordon Edgar. 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first of those is Strood, with that PBA31, but the second with the big cranes is surely the other side of the river at Rochester, with Thalia and Telemon. One of those cranes has been preserved there as part of the new housing that’s replaced the goods yard and riverside industries. I posted some before and after pics and info here https://www.rmweb.co.uk/topic/86750-evocotive-railway-remains-what-derelect-or-abandoned-structure-stirs-your-emotions/?do=findComment&comment=4124381 but the photos got lost.

I think it’s actually a device for collecting and storing all those rasping noises that first generation DMMUs emitted, so that they could be loaded into Whoopee Cushions to be sold in joke shops. 1 1 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artless Bodger Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 The Karrier dustcart is a beaut! I can just remember dust carts with the curved sliding hatches before the compactor types came in, I had a toy one possibly Matchbox. When the bigger compactor dust carts began, sometimes the dustmen would operate the compactor at the end of our road, my brother and I would watch as the whole rear body was tilted up by hydraulic rams. There was a mesh cage on the cab roof for bulky items like matresses. The council also sent round a lorry - again a Karrier I think, to pick up waste paper - Dad put the newspapers outside tied ina bundle. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Darius43 Posted May 15, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 15, 2022 Weren’t the 1980 Rainhill Trials commemorations were held at Bold Colliery, St Helen’s, rather than at Rainhill? Cheers Darius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold nigb55009 Posted May 15, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 15, 2022 The photo was taken at Rainhill. The signalbox is visible in the background. The exhibits for the Cavalcade were stabled at Bold Colliery Sidings. We went to Bold the day after it all finished to take photos in the sidings. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
