Lamp oil was usually in 45 gallon drums. Depot heating was normally gas oil, some depots did use waste oil. 

 

Kerosene/paraffin was used for cleaning components at some depots, but once again usually came in 45 gallon drums.  Larger steam depots did have tanks of paraffin which was used in conjunction with other mediums for cleaning purposes.

 

It was unusual to see a tank or tanks arrive with the wrong Hazchem board on them, we had this happen at NL when several tank had been emptied in to the depot storage tanks only to find that it was Lub oil, some very smoky HSTs that night.

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

...wonder whether lamp oil for the semaphores arrived as this or whether heaters in the various buildings made use of this?

heaters would be my thought

...in the mid 80s the Ashburys to Dowlow trip (via Chinley) conveyed any loaded tanks for the TMD as far as Buxton URS, ready for a shunt across onto the TMD, empties returning similarly. From the late 1980s this working became the Warrington Arpley to Dowlow via a similar route and continued to convey loaded tanks to/empty tanks away from Buxton.

 

Gas Oil and some white diesel arrived this way, as well as some Lube Oil. I have no knowledge re kerosene.

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

I've seen this picture of 20185 at thornaby with engine  panels  from 20008 on it . Did this ever go out in service like this as only picture I've seem to find are from the same sport at Thornby

Good morning Dr. You had some photos of the tioxide wagons I was wondering if you have any higher resolution images that show the data on the wagon sides more clearly? An example of each type are preserved at Frodingham Rly and I recently took photos and measurements. Someone is currently 3D printing a train of said wagons for my model of Great coates No1. Without the aforementioned info they will stay plain grey with red or yellow tops as unfortunately Frodingham has repainted the wagons obliterating all original numbering etc.

Hi paul

Do you still have the measurements for both types of wagons 

I would like to make a short rake myself  after seeing your wagons

Hi all 

I was wondering if anyone had any coach  numbers  or set formations  that were used with the class 20s on this service  especially the nse liveried mk2s 

Any information  would be appreciated  

Daz

Definitely has to be thornaby   then buxton 

Has anyone got any pictures of the cradles used on either wagon type

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

Hiya just a random question and trying to save doing a full repaint has anyone tried to remove just the red stripe of a Bachmann 37 loco to turn into a railfrieght original livery

Regards daz

What a good job that Colas’ 37254 was floating around between Lewes and Haywards Heath on route learning today. Because DB’s 66056 was working train 6O13 Neasden Engineers Sdgs to Newhaven Marine Ag Tml Dbc, which then failed on Hamsey bank, with the rear wagon’s brake pipe causing the issue. It came to a stand on the down just south of Hamsey AHBC, with the rear wagons on the crossing. 

 

37254 was sent to the rescue, propelling from the rear, reaching Lewes 214 minutes late. Apparently the 37 provided the air to the rear wagon. 
 

 

The way 66056 thundered  through three bridges I'm not surprised the brakes failed on these old JNA wagons

What was the hst power that was at laira without a cab for what seemed years? 

Hi does anyone know what size the large numbers are on the side of this loco while in triple grey livery are they the same size a large logo?
