scottishlocos Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Hi all Can anybody help with this iam looking for pics and also operational details i know the loco works up with then runs-round and propels the tanks but does the loco stay there or depart LE to Inverness? Also how many tanks can be unloaded at a time ant is there any slip working ie loaded and unloaded wagons swapped on site? Thanks Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbg06003 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Hi Dave, Can confirm what you already know and fill in some of the blanks but not all.. Some pics from a visit in April 2007 during a typical Highland downpour. 66103 arrives with rake of 8 TTA's Runs round On the day of my visit no empties were present - I would imagine that any shunting would be performed at this point. Quickly, obviously so as not to disrupt the passenger service.... 66103 couples up and propels the stock into the discharge siding Judging by the state of the siding to the left of the rake I would guess that this is where the empty stock would be shunted prior to propelling the full wagons. On this particular day the loco left LE but by then I was just glad to get back in the car. HTH Bruce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
