Rolling Stock For Sale

As owner of the ventilated surviving design, it would be nice to pair them. But it’s a lot of work and for a similar price there are PMVs available in slightly better condition.

 

I was thinking the same - initially interested in saving a unique item until I saw that price. Very optimistic.

 

I see Swanage also have a few items advertised for sale in the latest Heritage Railway magazine; looks like a bit of a clear out is ongoing.

 

Actual numbers not given, but these seem to be what were pictured in advert in the magazine:

Cowans 4-wheel manual crane

Bogie Flat

And the Ransomes & Rapier crane

All destined for scrap ?

 

One hopes that won’t be the case... hoppers in particular are useful vehicles.

The Somerset & Dorset Railway Trust, at Midsomer Norton, have purchased two 16Ton steel mineral wagons currently at the Swanage Railway: https://www.sdjr.co.uk/news/264-wagon-appeal
I believe they must be B160073 and ADB577004 and the S&DRT are now seeking funds to move them.

 

Our Operations Director at Llangollen tells me that we can dispose of two timber underframed box vans. One of these is an ex- RNAD vehicle . The main purpose of the exercise is to create extra siding space, so price will be basic value of scrap metal content. I will try to have a look at the condition of these in the next few days.

Bob.

 

Do you have photos or links for the two vehicles.

 

I'll hopefully have a look at them during the coming week & get photos.

Bob.

 

Thank you.

 

Here are the photos as promised.

 

GER coach appeared on ebay with somewhat optimistic price

Yes, three noughts too many before the decimal point.

Bob.

 

It's usually people with little railway knowledge that put carriages like this on eBay with extraordinary prices. It's quite surprising therefore to see that it's the Wells & Walsingham railway that's selling this example.

It is this one yes? http://www.cs.rhrp.org.uk/se/CarriageInfo.asp?Ref=15986

The claim is that because of the current crisis they need the money. Are things really that bad in Norfolk?

 

It might be a pre-emptive move, get some cash before things get nasty
