And here is BR Conflat B707261 arriving at it's new home - Nene Valley Railway - where it joins Tim's other Conflat and 3 containers

 

Spotted over on social media that 3 MK3s and a DVT have arrived at the Colne Valley Railway.

 

KESR kitchen car RU1987 has just returned from Arlington Works at Eastleigh, now in Pullman livery.

 

This is my first posting on stock movements.
Whilst travelling eastbound on the A55 this morning ( main round that runs from the M56 to Holyhead) I passed parked up in a westbound lay-by, ie going towards North West Wales, a flatback with a four wheeled rail wagon on it. Grey in colour and not in a very good condition.
Any ideas?

 

Not knowing where you were, I wonder if anything has been exhumed from the rainforest sidings at Llandudno Jct which I understand are now being cleared ?

 

No this wagon was going west into North Wales.

 

Came across this today, I wonder if it's connected, watch a few minutes in about developments at Towyn.

 

Saw this last night just after I got in from work, seeing No4 and No7 in the shed at the Corris together did put a smile on my face! Really have to say the TR’s YouTube channel is excellent, other so called ‘bigger railways’ could learn a fair old bit from watching it.

 

North Staffordshire Railway Company (1978) purchased another vehicle, and asking for support with a further two possible vehicles:

Is it this one?

Is it better shape than the others?

 

Yes. She is 100% complete, but will probably need the usual Mk1 bodywork repairs (skirts etc). In all seriousness she would be a "cheap" vehicle to overhaul, but our priority is the higher capacity Opens with E3809 to be finished imminently and S4046 due to enter the works in the New Year. If £25k could be found I reckon we might have the vehicle ready inside 12 months, but as we don't it will just have to join the queue.

 

SECR Brake 3rd 1106 left the KESR yesterday (19/10/2021) and was unloaded at Havenstreet, Isle of Wight Steam Railway, this morning (20/10/2021). This is a permanent move and the vehicle will, in due course, be restored to working order at Havenstreet.

Spa Valley's 101 DTCL has arrived at the Lavender Line presumably to replace the 108 DTCL they're trying to sell. http://www.cs.rhrp.org.uk/se/CarriageInfo.asp?Ref=4882

 

Quoting my own post, photos on Facebook show that it arrived at the Bluebell today.

Mark 1 21224 was moved from North Norfolk Railway to North Yorkshire Moors earlier this month, and is now on its way back.

Would appear Siphon G 1498 has moved from Bodmin to Langollen.

RMB 1874 has also moved to the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway from Bodmin.

Does anyone know where the two Mark 1s going to Wensleydale are from, please? - https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/her...heritage-line-by-buying-new-carriages-3524099

 

Well, judging by the "West Coast" logo that seems to be on the side of the coach visible through the window of the coach in the picture, I would guess Carnforth....

 

Hmmm... so have WC just decided to restore two coaches and then flog them? Can't imagine why else they'd be letting two fully refurb'd vehicles go?
