Of course it could just be the Schneider Cup trophy float plane and the Squadron leaders landing in LM's harbour.

RMweb Premium Bogie Posted May 26, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 26, 2022 Tell me, why is a load of bananas being delivered to the creamery? Unless they are the latest idea for opening the crate. It is the 1930's after all. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been advised some local train spotters that this happens on the odd occasion which is something I appear to have missed. When a train comes in from the East and just carrying freight for the creamery the formation will stop in the main goods yard on the eastern side of Encombe Town, the loco will run around and push the wagons, like we see here, onto the branch and then back into the bay before finally finishing up into the creamery. Normally they will be attached to a freight formation for LM where they can be rearranged and brought back to the creamery. Such a faff, but then I ran out of space for a run round so had to come up with this answer.... Are you allowed to propel stock on a main line like that... Without a gaurds van on the other end? 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishplate Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 The loco is facing forwards towards the creamery. Did it reverse into the bay, or will it reverse into the creamery?? When it has dropped its train in the creamery, it will have to reverse/ go backwards to the bay. Which way is reverse? Discuss . . . . .🤪 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti-clockwise is Reverse. Simples. Only if you are using the 3-rail DC current collection system. If you are using 2-rail "Forward" and "Reverse" refer to the direction of travel along the track (which ever way the loco faces). One of the reasons I like "Deliberately Old-Fashioned trains"!
