Ruston Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 Appleby Frodingham Railway Preservation Society. 21st May 2016. Avonside Cranford The only preservation society railway where you also get to see a real industrial railway in action. The good old Yorkshire Janus diesels appear to be almost extinct, replaced by these hideous foreign things. What are they? 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narrow Gauge Jordan Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Hi Ruston, I'm glad you enjoyed the tour on the 21st, I was shunting that tour and Cranford worked very well on that tour with her sounding like a beast going up the perimeter hill. The new locomotives are the ex-Lackenby Di8 bo-bo locos originally from Norway as Russ and Mick have already said. Jordan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike morley Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Quainton Road on the first of this month. I'm intrigued by the triple coupling hooks. Just look at how much kindling and coal there is in there! The last of the line It's not obvious from this picture, but all three locos had their regulators wide open when I took this. The sound was great! The track of flat-bottomed rail running up middle is still part of the national network. Freight-only at the moment, it might well become part of HS2. Possibly the worst livery ever applied to loco? 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruston Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 Tanfield Railway "Legends of Industry" gala, 11th June. Visiting locos were Manning Wardle L class Sir Berkeley and USA tank 30065, painted and numbered as an NCB loco, as based at Hartley Main Colliery. 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruston Posted June 19, 2016 Author Share Posted June 19, 2016 Chasewater Railway Coal Trains Day, 19th June. The next outing will probably be to the Foxfield gala. Does anyone know what, if any, visiting engines will be there? 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Dava Posted June 19, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 19, 2016 The Foxfield Gala roster does not look too exotic, with a visiting Austerity, apparently the Beyer Peacock 0-4-0ST failed. The NSR 0-6-2T is apparently there but static. Still the only place you'l see a working Crane Tank.

Fat Controller Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Quainton Road on the first of this month. P1000957.JPG I'm intrigued by the triple coupling hooks. I suspect the loco is a former steelworks engine- a lot of these used both normal couplings and side safety chains when working with wagons carrying ladles of iron or slag.

Andrew Young Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Talyllyn Grand Finale The Grand Finale was the concluding event of the Talyllyn 150 celebrations which included bringing together the five surviving British based Fletcher Jennings locos with the Betchworth Three, Captain Baxter, Townsend Hook and William Finlay coming to Tywyn. The event marked Dolgoch's 150th birthday and the 150th anniversary of the first passenger train run on the Talyllyn. Whilst Talyllyn and Dolgoch operated passenger, goods and mixed trains on the TR, Captain Baxter shuttled up and down a short length of standard gauge track at Wharf. This was the first time since Betchworth quarry closed that the three locos had been reunited, plus it's the first time that the Talyllyn Fletcher Jennings locos have met another FJ loco since they emerged from the factory. It was also the first meeting of the only two surviving Fletcher's Patent Locos. It was a fantastic and very busy weekend and I was fortunate enough to be driving both Dolgoch and Captain Baxter over the weekend. One Fletcher's Patent Loco from the other. Not the usual Talyllyn Footplate view! Cheers, Andrew 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Dava Posted July 17, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 17, 2016 Thanks, I hope they dont repaint NSR 2, after 50+ years the livery looks just right for a working loco. Probably needs new wheel tyres though. Cranford also looks splendid. Dava Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
5050 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 A couple of mine from Foxfield as well. The first one is very similar to Ruston's. Not really surprising as I was standing next to him. No. 2 storming the bank. Note that 'Dubsy' the crane tank is assisting at the rear, the two of them producing a considerable amount of low level cloud cover and partially hiding Ruston himself! And the vintage carriages which did little to help my bad back! But it was a very interesting ride and they are in super condition. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir douglas Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) just uploaded my pics and vids from Middleton last week https://www.flickr.com/photos/59562189@N03/albums/72157671338885136 just tried to BBcode the vids in here but they just show up as pics and cant be played from here I made a slight cock up because i didnt have enough on me for the £10 to get in so instead i went everywhere else instead, the foot crossing by the tunnel, Beza road and walked up as far the new road bridge. my first time walking around the area and i will probably do this from now on as well having a ride Edited July 23, 2016 by sir douglas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandhole Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Does NSR No2 live at Foxfield now? I remember a footplate ride on her on the line from Sandhole washery to Sanderson's Sidings with my Dad. A marvellous morning!!! Great shots! I must try and get to the Foxfield line again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
