Popular Post Mol_PMB Posted February 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2022 Kingsbury, 1964, from Geoff Dowling, and there are some older 16 tonners among them: Snibston, 2009, from Jason Bowler: Bickershaw, from Gerv Wright: And finally, one I spotted at Astley mining museum recently. No obvious identity but it’s one of the scarcer rivetted type: 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor old D5005, it gets painted two tone green (the only pilot one to do so). First to be withdrawn and gave its body to D5025, confusing may a Bo-Bo fan as to why it got extra grilles.

Mol_PMB Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 This came up on one of my ebay searches. My impression is a block train of ex-SNCF mineral wagons, diagram 1/112: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Photograph-Railway-Engine-48501-Manchester-London-Rd-B-K-B-Green-c1954-15-/115298769232?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Photograph Railway Engine 48501 Manchester London Rd B.K.B.Green c1954 (15) I wonder where they were going to and from, and what traffic they would have been carrying in the other direction? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
