Will J Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I wonder if the 'Mid July' dates tie in to the 'Trainspotting Live' Show on BBC4.... even if it was pre-recorded in the day, it would make something unusual to feature in the show? 'Monday the 11th, Tuesday the 12th and Wednesday the 13th of July.' (Transmission Dates) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted July 1, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 1, 2016 If it didn't hit anything it fits - gauging for grown-ups R us. And if it did then that's a structure gauge infringement (as any good rolling stock engineer knows). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted July 1, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 1, 2016 And if it did then that's a structure gauge infringement (as any good rolling stock engineer knows). It's just a shame that occasionally other branches of engineering don't work to similar figures (but very helpful for manufacturers of expanded polystyrene) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'd still been working, that might have been three forum members in the photo (liaising on this kind of development was one of the things that I used to do). 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Country Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Crossing the viaduct this morning I noticed some welding is being done on the line into Moorswater. Presumably the test run highlighted some infrastructure issues. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry Morris Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 There's a rumour that a train could run next week. Allegedly wagons are in place at Aberthaw and Cardiff that are earmarked for the trip. This may only be hearsay but 'there's no smoke without fire' as they say or is it 'theres no freight without wagons"! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post marky7890 Posted December 2, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2016 I was working on Wednesday so couldnt see the down working in the sun. However I did see the return working on Thursday. which was overcast, foggy and very cold! Although it did make the photos quite atmospheric, there was some frost too. 70808 waits at the overbridge for a path into the coombe section, as the 0959 service to Looe was working down from LIskeard. The Moorswater viaduct provides the backdrop. Passing Coombe Junction Halt. Stopped between the two ground frames at Coombe for the crew to rejoin the train after resetting Coombe No 2 Ground frame. Climbing the incline up the valley towards Liskeard. 70808 running around at Liskeard. 25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianusa Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Lovely pictures Marky good to see this facility being used again. I like the picture going up the incline to Liskeard. Will there be any more of these trains in the near future? Brian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I went and had a walk round Moorswater in May 2015 - I thought it very sad it wouldn't be used again so this is great to see ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Morris Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) Great shot of it disappearing up the hill, has a kind of European quality about it because of the frost and haze. Need to remove those poles! This brings back memories of a certain East Devon junction where one line departed downgrade and the other up an incline in the same way at Tipton St Johns.

pb_devon Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Garry, you are right about the poles. At first glance I thought the first wagon had a pantograph!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Morris Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) 7/12/16 a few shots from today's working to Moorswater with 70805 This weeks train was too long for the run-round loop and had to be split in the valley.Quite smokey for an environmentally friendly power unit. The small dwarf signal for the Looe line had just cleared on the gantry while the train was still on the 1 in 59 grade into the platform.
