roythebus1 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Yes is the simple answer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RFS Posted March 20, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2023 Don't think they got west of Salisbury very often but here's 33007 coming into Salisbury from the west with the appropriate headcode. https://railphotoprints.uk/p759918148/e3e055c35 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PeterStiles Posted March 21, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 21, 2023 (slightly off topic, but may I please say Thank You for the thread title that sufficiently qualified the 'Q1' so as not to generate more posts about 'Which Q1' than about your actual query) 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all my 8 yearsish of research into workings West of Salisbury towards Exeter, I have never seen a pic of, or reference to a Q1. Phil. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bécasse Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 In the early BR period there was a regular weekly working of one of Eastleigh allocated Q1s on a Redbridge to Exmouth Junction P.W.Engineer's train, the loco was stabled at EJ over Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights being used to some extent on local workings including the EJ-Templecombe pick-up goods and return on the Monday, and then returned to Redbridge on the Tuesday. Subsequently the weekly PW train ran through to Okehampton still worked by an Eastleigh Q1. I believe that this, apart from very occasional specials, was the only working of a Q1 west of Salisbury. 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also worked Summer Saturday extras to&from the WR so this is equally likely to be one having been turned round at 72B proceeding to take up its return working …e.g. Cardiff /Bristol-Portsmouth. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OFFTHE RAILS Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I have photos of Q1s west of Salisbury: 1. Between Dorchester and Weymouth - passenger train 1950 BR 2. At Bournemouth 1948 3. At Branksome 1948 - passenger train 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the headcode it's carrying is Waterloo-Exeter so I would have thought it's more likely to be taking a freight back to London. Here's another photo of a Q1 heading away from Lymington. https://mikemorant.smugmug.com/Trains-Railways-British-Isles/SR-and-BRS/Bulleid-Q1/i-GFdPnJ5/A Edited March 21, 2023 by RFS 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I never knew that, so thanks. However my interest is only from around 1958 to 1965 and I've not really looked at Q style Goods workings or really even weekday workings, when there were far more Goods than on my Summer Saturday TT proposed workings. If there was one working down that way during '58 to '63 ish when that WSR lot barged in, I could borrow my son's to play with! Cheers Phil 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More south than west, in fact ............. personally I don't think 'west of Salisbury' is in the least ambiguous : its anywhere you get to - by train in this case - if you go west from Salisbury. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
