Rolling Stock Movements

This was a policy concept thats at least 15 years old in the members mag. If I remember rightly, the plan was two sets of Mk1s and getting rid of the Mk2s (long before the Rogart pair arrived). Are there Mk1s incoming to replace them?

A Class 14 was seen on the A1 yesterday it seems.

16T mineral wagon B154977 left MMSI today for a new home on the Middleton Railway

 

Anyone know where it was going from and to?

 

Formerly at Berkley but most recently in Goodman's yard. Spotted south of Newcastle but can't see any suspects posting about it. Could be Tanfield, Aln, North Tyneside or even Scotland.

 

Probably off to join D9500....

 

Privately-owned Wagon Lits carriage No. 3801 has left the Bluebell Railway. The carriage had been in use as sleeping accommodation, owned by a group of Loco Department members, but has now departed for pastures new. I understand that the new owner intends to restore the vehicle. There will be an article on the carriage in the next issue of The Bluebell Times.

I remember being shown round the coach over 10 years ago, and it needed a hell of a lot of work doing on it then...
Good luck to whoever has taken it on. Are you able to disclose where it's headed off to?

 

A private owner in Belgium AIUI.

Good to know it's got a home and won't be razor blades.

 

I would have dearly loved to buy that but logic suggested otherwise. I'm glad it's got a new home.

 

January 3 2023 BRW cattle wagon chassis '78' from Llangollen to WSR.

'78' was purchased by the GWR 813 Fund from The SRPS Bo'ness several years ago.

It has now moved to Williton along with a chassis and a body owned by another group.

Mk1 RU 1949 moving from Cranmore to the Gwili today.

 

RDB975076 the test trailer DVT at the WSR was photographed last week heading for pastures new. Churnet Valley according to Departmentals.

 

Spotted over on Faceache, the Aberdeen Gas Works Simplex has left the Strathspey and is in the hands of the Bon Accord Locomotive Society who plan to restore it to operational condition. Great news for them and I wish them all the best in restoring it as I seem to recall it being little more than a shell on wheels.

 

4EPB Trailer Second Open 15396 was moved by road arriving at Swanage Railway's Arne Road road/rail siding on Thursday 9th February 2023.

15396 was acquired to be dismantled for numerous 'Bulleid style' spare parts to be recovered to be used in the railway's future Bulleid hauled coach restorations.
I wonder if sufficient money was not available to restore 15396 to passenger-carrying condition [in the foreseeable future] and that is why it made it's way southward.
Once 'emptied', I suspect scrap contractors will be called in urgently to dismantle the remains.
