Aberbrothock Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Seeing the Metal Box Factory on Westerham's photo reminded me of the trip freight that ran from Arbroath to the local Metal Box Co's. factory, (accessed from Elliot Junction), during the late 'sixties/early seventies, now unfortunately just a memory. However that memory can be recreated easily with my Hunslet and some Vanfits ready to leave Arbroath main yard for its jaunt down to Elliot and into the sidings serving the factory....... A couple of nice shots in the winter sunshine:- 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post F-UnitMad Posted December 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2018 3675 must've been on the turntable at Gloucester (85B) Horton Road, as on another visit to the Forest, it was facing the other way, and the driver's side was photographed. Miserable old goat, though - he wouldn't even look round for the camera. 25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulbb Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Very nice indeed..around the 1964-5 period when the number plates were removed and numbers were chalked or painted , many of them lost their safety valve covers too, as well as their smokebox numbers . 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted December 17, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) Not to be confused with the painted numbers applied at Caerphilly a few years earlier, which were painted representations of the number plates complete with edging and Egyptian Serif numbers in yellow. Some 57xx and 56xx were turned out like this and presumably ran in service until withdrawal without brass plates, Not all GW number plates were brass, of course, some were cast iron and painted yellow; I think this is connected with wartime austerity restrictions.
