Down_Under Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Are there any of these machines (standard gauge) preserved in the UK that anyone is aware of? Standard Gauge: http://www.nordco.com/Media/Maintenance-of-Way-Equipment/Nordberg-Legacy-Brochures/NordbergTrackMachine.pdf Here is a narrow gauge example: http://www.nordco.com/Media/Maintenance-of-Way-Equipment/Nordberg-Legacy-Brochures/NordbergTrackShifter.pdf I know they were used on some of the ironstone railways in the UK, possibly also colliery systems? Not sure if they were found outside of industrial systems/networks in the UK? thanks in advance, James EDIT - standard gauge link added. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobbler Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 There is a machine preserved at the Northamptonshire Ironstone Railway Trust at Hunsbury Hill, Northampton. The machine came from Irchester Ironstone Quarry. It is non working and on plinth on a section of track Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
