lapford34102 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 A link to the site I mentioned earlier, http://www.cornwallrailwaysociety.org.uk/castle-cary-to-weymouth.html Class 22's rarely got much south of Pen Mill as far as I remember only very occasionally getting to Weymouth so looking at the photo's assume they were pilots over the lumpy bits.

I don't know the story behind this one at Warwick, other than it is standing in the position where the Hatton Banker used to reside. http://www.warwickshirerailways.com/gwr/gwrw2169.htm I have a possible explanation for this one in that OOC had a working with Regent tanks for Warwick Cape Yard at the time. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbb Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 This is probably an old request, but has the plan to build a 'new' class 22 collapsed? An internet search seems conclusive, but thats the way it looks, unless someone (with ££) has come forward? The old project seemed to be linked to the old LLC which is now gone of course Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulbb Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Thanks for the reply. I do remember seeing class 22s at Axminster, and Abingdon in 1967. A friend claims he saw one at Banbury and even Leamington. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 22s seen at Axminster would most likely have been on the Chard Jn. milk tanks, after the working had been re-routed via Exeter and the WR main line.

The proprietor of L.L.Co gave a donation to the Class 15 group from sales of his model Class 15. It was me who informed him of the Class 22 group (I'm not a member) & as far as I know he got in contact with them with similar intent, until, of course, everything went extremely pear-shaped for L.L.Co. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
