RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted July 1, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 1, 2014 I found this when looking for something else on the internet >> http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/about_us/smg/corporate/~/media/B61752A6A6664CDDB96B34908B5B7244.ashx Page two has quite a few interesting railway items.

Mark Saunders Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I am surprised that the Neptune track recorder is on the list as this would be a major milestone in track maintenance! Mark Saunders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Saunders Rather a shame if it does leave the national collection - it was on display in the main building at Shildon when I last visited.

Andy Are you sure they only have the one? Collections can sometimes end up with duplicates. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Pretty sure they only have one - No. 50002 at Shildon. The other two survivors appear to be at Llangollen and the Teign Valley line. http://www.ontrackplant.com/sightings-of/matisa-neptune-trolleys Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Hadyn Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 We decided that a better future for our Neptune lay outside the collection and I'm pleased to say that a group has expressed interest in taking it on. Sometimes it's about who best can look after something and give it a future, and to be honest it hasn't been a high priority. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Hadyn Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 We don't sell items, but yes, the Whitewash coach left the collection some 5-6 years ago at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
