KeithMacdonald Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I'm not sure who "Stapleton Road" is, or how he got such a great camera angle, but I'd like to thank him for this picture. Quote Knowing that 50007s arrival at Exeter would be covered from every angle I set myself a challenge of trying to get a fresh angle. I had two spots in mind , one I used extensively during my video days and one I had used a couple of times with my Nikon FM2 when access wasn't a problem. The first spot was too much of a challenge even for Viola May 2 but the 2nd spot seemed to be on. So here is 50007/034 at Riverside Yards just about to take the ECS for the 1537 ESD -VIC caught in a patch of rare sunlight on this day. Perhaps "Viola May 2" is a camera drone? 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, a US slug has traction motors, and gets its electrical power from another locomotive. The diesel brake tender is just a braking vehicle, there are no traction motors. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point taken, "it" wasn't defined in Stewart's post. Just making sure we didn't believe there were traction motors in that DBT... 😀 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
