Rolling Stock Movements

It is relatively easy to keep track of when locomotives move from one railway to another or when another loco is preserved. This is not quite the case with carriages and wagons. Whilst we have the carriage database on the VCT website there is no easy way to monitor what vehicles have moved around.

So if you know of any movements then please post them to this thread so that those involved in C&W can keep track.

To start the ball rolling:

BR POS 80402 has arrived at the Nene Valley Railway
BR BSK 35043 has left the NVR (I believe for the Swindon & Cricklade Railway)

 

hells bells mate, I have enough trouble keeping track of where things are on our own line!

 

During this winter, the Spa Valley and Caledonian Railways swapped SK 25857 (heading North) and SO 4809 (which headed South).

The Spa Valley also recently sent two tool vans for scrap at Booths having stripped them for spares - 975476 & 975499

 

Recent arrivals at Toddington on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway:

Coaches
NTA 80433
NTA 80435
NTA 804xx (yet to arrive, ID not yet known)

Wagons
DB 904142
B 738836

Tamper
DR73303
DR73315

 

Slight thread hijack: Isn't Greasley Buffet car E9115E for sale from Mangapps or something? The rumour mill was in full swing suggesting the Bluebell were keen a few weekends back? Anyway if it is for sale I imagine that would be moving somewhere soon

 

Recent arrivals or repaints at Tyseley Locomotive Works

Mk 2 Coaches
RFB 1201 (repainted chocolate/cream)
FO 3309, 3416 (both InterCity)
TSO 5928 (Anglia)
BSO 9496 (InterCity)

Mk 3 Coaches
RFM 10230 (one Anglia)

NPCCS
93533 (repainted in new coat of BR Blue)
80898 (repainted maroon)
96100 (InterCity livery)

 

I am told the third TPO is 80411

 

Lucky 80411 has had two escapes then!!

1) Sold to CF Booth for scrap
2) Rescued by NVR TPO group
3) Swapped for 80402 with VSOE. VSOE to removed bogies and dispose of body.
4) Saved for 2nd time by G/WR

 

BR Mark 1 BSK, 34935, has left the NVR for the Battlefield Railway

 

On the NYMR, we have recently had 4921 and 5001 (both BR Mark 1 TSOs) arrive from Northampton and Lamport, still owned by same person, an NYMR member. On long term loan to NYMR. BSO 9225 to follow once use at N&LR on Santas complete.

An extra 3 coaches mean something else is likely to have to go or at least disappear from track connected to the rest of the Railway by Easter!

One on the way out is Chocolate & Cream RBR 1666 is approved for component recovery and disposal in the near future due to body work condition.

 

Mk1 SO No.4824 from Oakmoor and FO No.3064 from East Somerset and latterly Ramparts, Derby arrived at the Bluebell in November.

they have been bought in to assist with the major trackworks going on in swanage station. The bay platform at swanage is in the process of being bought into use, should be usable by early next year. These works are generating large amounts of spoil that needs disposing of away from swanage, mainly large amounts of clay. The wagons are on hire from EWS, but as far as i know there is no date for them to return to EWS as their mainline FTR tickets have now expired so they are not considered fit to run on network rail metals

How much of the bay platform is going to be used ? Is the Birds Nest Buffet moving ?

As Dan has said, they have been hired in for a specific and highly useful purpose, which will enable us to run an ever more intensive service. :smt002

Thanks old chap \/

 

I see from the Ponypool & Blaenavon site that they have taken delivery of the Maunsell TPO S4958S formerly at the Mid Hants, whilst two Collet brake thirds 5539 and 5500 have left for the Gloucs & Warks.

 

The maunsell TPO will be their Santa,s Grotto.
