RMweb Premium keefer Posted May 18, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 18, 2022 It has the older 'SUB'-style jumper cables: left to right it has power jumper, lighting jumper and control jumper. Air brake pipe/main reservoir pipes on buffer beam (these have been extended to high-level pipes on RHS, to increase departmental usefulness). Standard layout for SUB/HAL/BIL etc. (basically all the pre-EPB units). 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Steven B Posted May 19, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) Class 28 (Bo-Co) were regulars to Barrow but the 08 with the long string of brake vans is a great find. The caption says the brake van special spent its day exploring the docks and industrial locations around what's now south Cumbria. The train started and ended behind a class 45 black five and as well as the 08 also saw class 03 haulage. I wonder how many brake vans are left registered on the network today?

RMweb Gold nigb55009 Posted May 19, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 19, 2022 The tour started and ended behind 45134. That isn`t a Class 45, TOPS numbering wasn`t introduced until 1973. 45134 would have been a Black Five 4-6-0 5MT. The loco moved to Carnforth in December 1966 and was withdrawn on 3rd August 1968. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven B There used to be an old brakevan parked in the engineers siding at Tollerton just north of York. I think it was one of those GWR style ones with the full length roof (a Toad ?).

Hand Crane ADW226 Cardiff Canton 1987 by Jamerail It is very similar to the Hornby model, though Hornby didn't provide a Match Wagon. The prototype was designed just prior to WW2, to provide mobile cranage, both for repairs to bomb damaged track and instillations, and for handling larger items at goods depots. Post-War, they seemed to be popular with the Carriage and Wagon Department; examples at Tonbridge West and Hereford were still in use at the beginning of the 1990s. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like it's standing at the watercrane and maybe has the bag in? Though it is June, so steam heat not in use. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
