jonny777 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I will never get over the shock of seeing Brush 2s on the WR. To me it was just sacrilege to have what I considered to be ER locos allocated anywhere else. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Western Engineman Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 5803 at Swindon. I'm sure the date is not going to be 1976! http://railwayherald.com/imagingcentre/view/148631/PL It's not going to be Swindon either! That is Reading, west end looking west. I thought Roger Goodrum signed the road through there, but perhaps not! I am enjoying this thread. I recall my days in my first career on the railway, as a Secondman initially on the Western Westbury and the surprise when I got to work on my first class 31 in early 1973. A traditional Eastern loco allocated on Western metals! I recall taking one of my first ones from Westbury even deeper into Western territory to Exeter. Later I worked at Didcot and of course they were then commonplace. Bob. Western Engineman. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 And not too many over here were keen to receive them! (doesn't stop me having one on my "wanted" list to run alongside my hydraulics though) Yes, so was there really anything wrong with hydraulics? Ok, so it made sense to concentrate on D/E traction for long distance services whetre the change of traction would cause inefficient crew rostering; but were 22s really so bad at Paddington ECS services, and local trip freight, whilst being maintained at OOC? The 1950s and 1960s railways were prime examples of a scandalous waste of taxpayers' money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUTTLEY Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 By Feb 1974, there were only two left....5818 & 5827. 5827 went on to carry its TOPS number, 31294 in green for a few weeks. I saw it in the Factory as 5827 on 16/3/74 and it was seen with its new number at Swindon the next day. Here is 5818 on OOC, on 22 Feb 1974.. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ron_h/5408022345/in/photolist-9eTwCz 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
