RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted October 4, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 4, 2022 A marvellous picture. I remember such a pre MAS scene well. It's the only picture that I've seen of the David and Charles coaches. Does anybody know what became of the Gresley pigeon van? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have the film on tape, but on divesting myself of all VHS tapes and players, I never obtained a DVD copy to replace it so can't check.

Were these trains diagrammed for class 03 shunter haulage? If so, were there any other regular diagrammed passenger turns for class 03/4 shunters (barring shunts of portions of trains, or shunt releases of stock)?

There are other images of 03s on passenger stock at Highworth, so quite possibly. There is a thread on the Highworth branch in the disused railways section and that suggests that there were one or two regular 03s in use. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closing the line can't have saved much money, if it was retained for a basic service for works staff. Why not allow normal passengers to use it?

There's a little bit of mystery over this image. The Flickr author (probably in good faith) says Quote Highworth, 7 Sept 1961 - D2185 approaches Highworth with a workman’s train. But according to BR Database, D2185 wasn't in service until 03/05/1962, and was first assigned to Danygraig (87C). https://www.brdatabase.info/locoqry.php?action=locodata&type=D&id=2185&loco=2185 How can we solve this puzzle?
