AMJ Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Obvious Preservations sites Middleton Railway (as per my sig and pic), my friends at Tanfield, I know that Embsay is an ex mainline railway but they do tend to operate only industrials. Rutland The National Coal minig museum (of England) has a few steam and diesel exhibits. Looking at the ownership of many industrials they still show up as being the coal mining museum even at other sites/railways. Prototypes Crossley Evans scrap yard at Shipley they have a few nice locos on site Plasmor at Heck, the Fowler was sold out of preservation (from Middleton) back into industry and was seen in the background of all the coverage of the Great Heck accident.

eastwestdivide Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Have they got any standard gauge engines etc. Aha, now I see, the topic's in a gauge-ist forum called Industrial UK Standard Gauge, which I didn't see when the topic was in Active Content. I bet I'm not the last to make that mistake! But apparently Amberley do have one standard gauge loco, plus a lot of history which also covers standard gauge. http://www.amberleynarrowgauge.co.uk/our-locos.htm http://www.amberleymuseum.co.uk/history/hayloftpanels-07-09.pdf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy mistake to make, the narrow gauge have all ready got one for the prototype and moderating now, so most likely the reason for this been standard gauge.

br2975 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Tata, Port Talbot (formerly Corus, British Steel Corporation and previously the Steel Company of Wales). . The industrial fleet from the plant work into Margam Knuckle yard several times a day, and in order to do so have to cross a public footpath that also crosses the South Wales mainline and Ogmore Vale Extension (OVE) line that runs alongside the yard. . From the public footpath you can stand and watch the steelworks locos mingling with DB(S) Cl.08/60/66 locos also going about their business at the west end of the yard. . Here are a few shots just to highlight what you can see there. The Brush Bagnall 0-4-0DE locos (which in later years worked with a brake tender built on the frames of a former 0-4-0DE) are nowadays (sort of) kept in reserve.

Jenny Emily Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 There's a preserved railway on part of the old Preston docks system (Ribble steam railway?).

James Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Scunthorpe Steelworks: combines both elements. There is the 'working' railway system (claimed to be the biggest industrial railway in Europe in terms of track milage) plus the Appleby Frodingham Preservation Society who run tours around the site using preserved Industrial locos and 2/3s of a DMU. I suspect it may not be the biggest - I was told some eastern euorpean sites may have more miles of track left, whether they are in use or not is another matter. Scunny has around 100 miles of track, both running lines and sidings. Scunthorpe provides conditions far harder than the mainline - higher axle loads and working environments which are very hostile. It's fascinating place - I went back there for a brake van tour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJS1977 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 The Cholsey and Wallingford Railway has the two class 08 diesels that used to work at Guinness at Park Royal, along with Walrus, one of the two Hibberds that preceded them (one of the CWR members tried to buy Carpenter at one stage to complete the set, but the deal fell through). The 08s are still in Guinness colours, the Hibberd is currently under restoration but is expected to return to running order in Guinness colours some time this year (mind you, we've been saying that for a couple of years!)...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted January 28, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 28, 2011 There's a preserved railway on part of the old Preston docks system (Ribble steam railway?). Part of it is used for the transfer of bitumen tanks from the exchange sidings near Strand Rd to the Lanstar (now Total) plant within the (former) docks area. The tanks can run up to 3 days each week. There are some good access and photograph locations. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach bogie Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Peak Forest has industrials in regular use, most visible from outside the complex. In addition Middlesbrough goods has two separate industrial operators, AV Dawson and a second company I beleive is now called Cobra. Corus at Teesside still has operating industrials, only part of the set up was mothballed. Mike Wiltshire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastwestdivide Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 While we're on steelworks, the two Corus/Tata in the Sheffield area: Rotherham (Aldwarke etc) and Deepcar/Stocksbridge, both quite extensive and under-photographed. You can usually see a few yellow locos like* the Corus one in post 23 above from passing trains at Rotherham. Google maps shows extensive sidings around the River Don side of the Rotherham site, but it's hard to see from any vantage points. *"like" in the sense that they're non-BR ones and look something like that one to my untrained eye.
