RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted April 26, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) The Kenny Belle shuttle from Olympia to Clapham Junction regularly ran with 2 white bars. On one of the last runs with 33 the driver kindly put the proper '20' headcode up for me. I can only assume in this case it was either because the train made several round trips and the drivers were allowed to use what busmen call 'lazy blinds' or the fact that '20' was also the headcode for a Victoria-Gatwick working which would have run through CJ at the same time but on diferent roads 33116 by Steve Thorpe, on Flickr Edited April 26, 2017 by Metr0Land 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signaller69 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Found a useful bridge for those needing a double track scenic break, whilst not wanting a sector plate or similar to be easily visible under the bridge when viewed from the side: The bridge is on the Wirral Trail near Parkgate (former Hooton to West Kirby line iirc). The centre support bricks are somewhat newer than those of the rest of the bridge so may not have been like this when the line was in use, maybe someone can confirm? Either way, on a layout, who's to say BR wouldn't adopt a similar method? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted May 14, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 14, 2017 There are original twin arch bridges over double track where the Belfast Central Railway is crossed by the Ormeau Road and by the Donegal Road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted May 14, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 14, 2017 And twin arches over the Hereford-Newport main line at Ponthir, just south of Llantarnam. This would be even better for hiding a fiddle yard! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, on a layout, who's to say BR wouldn't adopt a similar method? There are similar supports under some of the bridges on the Middlewood Way, formerly the Macclesfield, Bollington and Marple Railway. I assume they were put there after the line closed to avoid having to rebuild the bridge to take heavier traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, on a layout, who's to say BR wouldn't adopt a similar method? This was generally done after the railway closed to strengthen the bridge, sometimes because the bridge had structural issues or due to heavier than originally designed for road vehicles. There is a nice double arch bridge at Ponthir, a few miles out of Newport on the North & West route, as can be seen in the photo in the link below. https://flic.kr/p/e8UJxE Paul J.

Being moved to a depot or works, looks to only be a portion of the unit. The wagons before and after will be special barrier wagons too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wagons before and after will be special barrier wagons too. 325s have normal buffers/drawgear and have been regularly hauled without the need for any special barrier wagons. For example In Jack's linked picture, it is coupled using buffers to the intermodal flat. Cheers, Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Mick When they were first introduced I did some clearance work for the signalling systems off the electrified lines in the Manchester area for these units to be loco-hauled during engineering work. IIRC there was a worry about track circuit interference due to the way the on-board electrical equipment was wired between coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73c Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I did hear that when testing those units to - from PRDC, that they caused quite a few problems with the signalling in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sometimes wondered how much work was required when they did fit buffers to some power cars. Perhaps not all that much, looking at that.
