i remember seeing a picture of the last br blue class 56s lined up at Toton does anyone remember there numbers of the regards darren

yes would be very dangerous to have the wrong hazchem signs on as it the only way emergency services know what they are dealing with and how to deal with it

heaters would be my thought

when looking though photos i checked the hazchem sign on the tank it had 3Y 1223 which is keosene

just been looking at some more photos that ive found the tanks where filled with kerosene so heaters sounds likes the reason for the use of them at buxton

Thanks that could be the reason im looking around the early to mid 90s

this may be a daft question i've seen lots of pictures of shell class b tank wagons at Buxton tmd are they for depot use and if so what product would the be delivering regards Darren

Pacer is a cheep alternative for preserved railways they do have lots of benefits 1 cheap to run many preserved railways are run low on funds due to covid 2 to keep first gen and steam on the rails is costly and take years to overhual as most parts have to be manufactured to keep running pacer parts are in abundance 3 dmus dont need to be pre warmed hours before to be on a running roaster So are nearly a ready to go in a moments notice When prevsered lines are looking at ways to increase income with very little capital expenditure a pacer is the right way to go wether we like them or not I would rather eide one of them than seee a preseved line close Daz
