27105 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) Does anyone please have a copy of the BR instructions for the working of mixed trains conveying container wagons between Aberdeen, Inverness and Wick from early 1984 until sometime in 1985? This traffic flow was conveyed using a small fleet of (five?) container wagons equipped with 'through pipes' for vacuum brakes and steam heating. Attached is a photo I took of 40015 on arrival at Inverness with 1N27 13.55 Aberdeen to Inverness 'mixed train' on Saturday 5th May 1984. Note the container wagon behind the loco. Many thanks Mark Edited February 15 by 27105 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Mark @class26 Might be interested in this as he models the far north line in that time period Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickham Green too Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 No paperwork, I'm afraid - but a photo might be of interest : - Unidentified class 47 ( possibly .556 - a Cardiff loco ??!? ) with 13.45 ex Aberdeen : The Shevock, 14/5/84 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of ETH equipment on the cab front rules out a 47/4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to see two containers being conveyed. As far as I know these mixed trains normally only conveyed one container at a time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
