According to the Flicka comment that was added a few minutes ago - it's a damaged railcar on the right which did look like a wodden giraffe! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a mixture, definitely prototype for everything. Possibly en route to/from a works? I occasionally saw Cricklewoood Cl 127 DMU cars in a Derby-London parcels working. In fact after writing that, and clicking through to the Flickr comments, someone reckons it could be a Willesden-Derby working that conveyed stuff for Derby works. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMS2968 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I know what you mean. The 24 is carrying a tail lamp, but if the 9F is leading they're running wrong road. The number on the 25 reads the right way around, though, and the 9F appears to be in mid gear, or so close you can't tell from this angle. On the other hand, the arrangements for getting from Hest Bank to Morecambe were strange, to say the least, and did require an element of reversal and wrong road working. I can't remember when direct access became possible. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold SHMD Posted August 13, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 13, 2021 I must admit to not noticing the 25s number or Head Code - Doh! - and only focussed in on the (Tail) Lamp and the smoke/steam from the 9F that appears to be going the wrong way! Oh well, thanks for all the explanations and details. Kev. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted August 13, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 13, 2021 If you look at the explanations below the picture, they are off to double head a tank train with the 25 on front and the 9F tucked in behind, by then facing the right way. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
