kevsmiththai Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 News Loco 2 is being collected by Reids tomorrow for transit to Warcop. All the paperwork is complete and all the spares are loaded into stillages ready Sadly I won't be there. Still got my leg in plaster after breaking my ankle in two places, so tramping around sidings in Cumbria isn't practical. But will get there as soon as possible Kev 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevsmiththai Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Hiya Russ. Long time no see Yes. A lot of the Sellafield safety mechs will come off. Site Rail have bought two Clayton Battery Bo-Bos and have a four wheeler on order to work into SEP long term, two of the three remaining Hunslet four wheelers ( No.s 1 and 3) will be released from service and made avaiable fo preservation.They will retain Loco 4 as it had a huge amount of money spent on it a while back I did treat myself to a Judith Edge 00 kit for a TH Vanguard at Manchester XMAS show in December to shunt my Nuclear wagon fleet Kev Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did look at building a railhead but I've not really got room now Cheers Russ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it an actual Thomas Hill build or did they rebuild it from a Rolls Royce/Sentinel? The profile of the engine casing looks to be Sentinel but the cab looks typical TH, albeit much taller than usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
