RMweb Premium melmerby Posted May 8, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) Good try, Steven but technically narrow gauge in my book and not a loco. Nice photo though! I would guess Russia/Finland, India or Brazil for the correct picture! Or maybe Iberia? Are there are any wide gauge Oz electric locos? Keith Beat me to the guess!

RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted May 8, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) Photo © C E Steele Perhaps a BOGOF. Although there hadn't been a train along the line south of Stratford-upon-Avon for a year following the Winchcombe derailment I'm not sure if it was technically closed by then, so for good measure the picture is taken from the eastern abutment of the SMJR bridge which had been closed several years before. Next up lets have a picture of a closed line being rebuilt for reopening as part of the National Network, not preservation..

Keith Beat me to the guess! Yes, all of those would have been valid. There are also electrified Russian gauge lines in Slovakia and Victoria (Australia) used to have electric locos on wider gauge.

TT3 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Yes, all of those would have been valid. There are also electrified Russian gauge lines in Slovakia and Victoria (Australia) used to have electric locos on wider gauge. We sure did have decent electrics in VR, in particular the L class courtesy of English Electric. I remember photoing and climbing over the withdrawn at North Melbourne in 1989. Great looking machines. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted May 9, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) How about this? Still being used in the perimeter wall of the new Snow Hill even though it is from the early 1900s Keith Next How about a Steam /diesel double headed combo in the South West England during the working life (not preservation) Edited May 9, 2017 by melmerby 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted May 10, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) Ok, as it seems there are no takers let's widen it to any double header on the UK mainline (not preservation era) featuring at least a class 8 steam loco (not necessarlly passenger!). That should widen it quite a bit. Keith Edited May 10, 2017 by melmerby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted May 10, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 10, 2017 Previously seen in the Steam in Devon thread, but I don't think in this one Carrying on with heavy duty locos, can we have an eight-coupled goods loco, here or abroad, but not in preservation please?

EddieB Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 When was that taken? (In case one of them was me!) Perhaps rather different to what was expected - a freight heads out from under the ornate frontage of the "old" main station in Kuala Lumpur. A Japanese (Kisha Seiso Kasha) class 21 in original livery, leading a British (EE/AEI) class 22. (A British class 15 shunter was dead in train).
