Happy memories - any photos of the above would be very welcome! Take care and stay safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall being in that neck of the woods a long time ago, but I also thought that my presence there pre=dated my having a camera that could take a snap like that.

RMweb Gold rodent279 Posted March 15, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) My dad's birthday would seem an appropriate day for a ride behind Horwich built D4095, later 08881. Here it is seen waiting for D2128 (03128) to back on, for a double headed run along the mile or so of track south from Midsomer Norton, on 7th March. My dad was born in Horwich, and started his railway career in the works, stripping steam locos as they came in for overhaul.

Remember 08881 as it was often parked at the west end of Edinburgh Waverley station near the signal box. Had a drop-down buckeye coupling fitted for shunting HST stock and for a long time was the highest numbered 08 that I had seen. Nice to know that it is still around.

Pandora Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) The LNER ordered a small number of 350 hp shunters in 1941for construction at Doncaster, near-cousins of the 08. https://www.lner.info/locos/IC/des1.php I recall seeing 3 ot the class at Crewe South 5B shed late in 1967, believed withdrawn from service Strange they ended up so far from their Doncaster origins. Does anyone have any photographs of the ex-LNER 15000 diesel shunters? Edited March 17, 2020 by Pandora Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a common modification? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted March 20, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2020 All I’m seeing is the orange cant rail stripe there is however an orange conduit from the cab to above the 4 air intake Grilles running along the cant rail though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
