The driving of locos through misaligned turntables was a very efficient form of disruption with the French Resistance; hard for the Germans to prove culpability. I read somewhere that a really hard to trace sabotage method was to swap wagon labels so that munitions ended up in the arrivals roads of sugar beet factories and empty sugar beet wagons were sent to the Ruhr who didn't have much use for them. And no easy way to work out where to forward the misplaced wagons. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithMacdonald Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Quote mailrail : Western Champion 1015 running round The Western Quarryman special at Meldon Quarry. Saturday morning broke cold, crisp but clear with sunshine forecast for most of the day. Running as 1Z46 (due to the incoming form of traction, Peak class 46, 46035) the train arrived at Bristol around 10 minutes late and further time was lost waiting for D1015 to get signaled into the station. Quote After running around at Exeter St Davids we headed for Okehampton on the former Southern mainline from Exeter to Plymouth. From Okehampton the train ran empty to Meldon Quarry, the end of the line, to allow D1015 to run around. Unfortunately, it was not possible to take passengers through to Meldon after concerns were raised by the Health and Safety 'Police' regarding the extremely dangerous practice of having ...... passengers on trains in sidings! So everyone alighted the train ran the short distance, around two miles, to Meldon Quarry for the run-round. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that I thank the concern wasn’t that at all, but the prospect of hundreds of DAAs wandering about in an industrial complex, because it was foreseen that they wouldn’t be able to resist doing that.

Nearholmer Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I’m not sure how widespread it was, but on the southern region DAA was the name by which the more fanatic railway enthusiasts, inclyding the ones who followed the seven hundred and forty six “final” Western tours were known. It was even used at the title for some rail tours, which carried DAA headboards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithMacdonald Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Is this a herd of DAAs at Yeovil Pen Mill? From the image, it looks like they're being split into two groups. One lot herded to the end of the platform by a lady with blond hair and a purple dress. The second group is slightly further back, shepherded by a lady in an orange puffer jacket.
