eastwestdivide Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Still puzzled over what was meant by an "independent" snowplough... Always presumed it was one that had its own wheels, as opposed to the miniature ones or anything else bolted on to a loco. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted May 18, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 18, 2017 Here we go! 40066 at Perth Next - a diesel loco other than a 24/25/37 on former Cambrian metals please PHil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Who said anything about standard gauge? The VoR was once part of the Cambrian Railways. Next, a pre-nationalisation full brake carriage - in a train, on its own, in or out of service. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBrit Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 a pre-nationalisation full brake carriage - in a train, on its own, in or out of service. Next - Anything in colour so long as there is a signal box in the picture. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 That looks suspiciously unlike a full brake! Looking back in Ongar Next, a restaurant, dining or buffet car - in service (not preserved). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBrit Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 That looks suspiciously unlike a full brake! Next, a restaurant, dining or buffet car - in service (not preserved). Ooops! I didn't read it properly. It is pre-nationalisation and it wasn't moving. Maybe it' had a brake fully on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim R-T-C Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Buffet car indeed. Chiltern Trains Mark 3 Buffet 10273 by Timothy Young, on Flickr How about a buffet car on an International train, the further afield the better! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I hope "international" means "overseas" and not only a train that crosses borders. Something odd from the bottom of the esoteric box - a canteen car - "Stolovaya" (Russian) - on a 750mm gauge peat railway system in Estonia. As far as I know, the railway did not operate any public services, so the carriage is most likely a provision for the workers. Next a wagon designed or designated for an unusual traffic or payload. The more unusual the better, and preferably not in preservation. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonseasider Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Next a wagon designed or designated for an unusual traffic or payload. The more unusual the better, and preferably not in preservation. Not sure how well this fits the bill but let's give it a try. It's certainly unusual, but designed for neither "traffic" nor "payload". Also, it's "stuffed & mounted", although not really "in preservation". Longmoor Military Railway "track wrecker" - kept as a museum piece by the camp entrance. 1967, I think, without checking back through my little black book. As it's a bit dubious I'll leave the "next" request open as a wildcard. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnEntropyBubble Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) Have you had one of those days when you felt the need to stick your chair on the hood of your car? South bound Burlington Northern at Fruitvale, BC switching the Atco Lumber mill. 1989ish. The next photo will have something else bizarre on a train.

EddieB Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Pushing it a bit as the scanner I have currently connected doesn't resolve as finely as my old one (or another yet be to installed). The Mombasa - Nairobi line travels through the semi-arid bush country (sometimes called the Taru Desert) and forms the boundary between Tsavo East and Tsavo West national parks. While a freight train has paused at Tsavo, a troop of baboons has started climbing over the wagons. Let's stay with the bizarre - the next will feature a train/animal interaction. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthBrit Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) Just beaten to it something unusual please. Does this count? If so Next - A one or two passenger coach train hauled by a diesel Edited May 20, 2017 by NorthBrit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) PKP SP42-231 calls at Znin with a stopping passenger train, on a freezing cold day in November 2001. I suggest there's more to this suggestion - so the next will be another diesel on a one or two coach service passenger train (but somewhere other than Poland).

EddieB Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 So, no takers for a short diesel-hauled train? Well, lets make a Drama out of this "crisis", Drama being the location of this photo of OSE 488 from 2001. At this point the rules mean a wildcard - so I'll hang up my scanner for a while and hand over to an infrequent contributor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted May 21, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) I think I might be an infrequent contributor... So for a wildcard, how about a narrow-gauge tilting train... An E351 Super Asuza at Tokyo Shinjuku, back in May 2014. Next up, something that has been significantly rebuilt from its original form.

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted May 21, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 21, 2017 An official Derby photo, a copy of which Dad bought for me, of SDJR No.1 which started life as a saddle tank. Although it is not a photo by me or Dad, it is in my possession, not just grabbed off the net. Have we had a one-off diesel or electric loco? If not, let's see if there's one out there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
