Bridgnorth 15xx 1501 April 71 C550.jpg Bridgnorth 15xx 1501 April 71 C550 David Surely not 1501... Under the grime that 4-6-0 looks red. A clairvoyant SVR anticipating Hogwarts?

RMweb Gold DaveF Posted May 10, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 10, 2015 Surely not 1501... Under the grime that 4-6-0 looks red. A clairvoyant SVR anticipating Hogwarts? It really is 1501 - if you look there are no boiler handrails and the tanks have been removed. The loco was sold to the NCB in 1961 and was used in the Coventry area, along with 1502 and 1509. All three were subsequently bought, parts from 1502 and 1509 were used in the restoration of 1501 and the remains were then scrapped. David 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted May 10, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 10, 2015 Hi, Dave. Have enjoyed seeing the Severn Valley Railway photo's, especially 70000 Brittania. Then of those in Yorkshire, the two photo's of Huddersfield show just how the station has changed over the years. All the best, Market65. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 It's a shame 1502 and 09 didn't survive. The 15xx make a nice change from the usual green painted motorised biscuit tins, and looked rather fetching in red! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium uax6 Posted May 11, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 11, 2015 Its hard to belive that those photos were taken in 1969, they could be upwards of ten years younger and no-one would question it!

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted May 12, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 12, 2015 J1806 - some cracking loads there for the forthcoming Bacchy liners - not just container boxes! Phil Hi Phil I agree, the first flat has what look like a 20 ft B type, what looks like a 20ft P type insulated box with its flat sides, and two 10 ft A types, next two have two 30 ft K type opens, the second one on the second wagon only has it lower side panels in place, and the last wagon has a 27 ft C type (by its number). The 27 ft containers were built when the road traffic act would only allow trailers of 27 ft long. BR must have been "in the know" because the Freightliner Flats were designed to take two 30 ft containers, and soon after the start of the freightliner service the Road Traffic Act was altered or a new one passed that allowed 30 ft trailers. I am still unsure about the P type as they had ISO fixings and the others on this train do not. Is it another B type? And all under nice twin track overlap using portals.

LNERGE Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 And all under nice twin track overlap using portals I suspect there is was a goods loop or similar here hence the portal structures. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
