Hello all, re-available

Whitwell and Reepham railway are selling their BR MK1 suburban, No 46116, more information can be found here: http://www.cs.vintagecarriagestrust.org/se/CarriageInfo.asp?Ref=1961

It is in need of a extensive overhaul but it is virtually complete.

It is with regret that we are selling the carriage but due to the lack of funding and restoration space needed, we are unable to provide the TLC it needs.

PM me for more information if you are interest.

 

Hello,
is there any recent railway wagons or parcels vans for sale please?
thanks

How far gone a vehicle would you be willing to consider?

Anything really that needs not too heavy restoration!

thanks

The Spa Valley Railway has 2 vintage Metropolitan Railway coaches, and a fully working TKH 0-6-0 steam loco for sale - more details at http://www.spavalleyrailway.co.uk/enthusiasts/For_Sale/

 

60k for an in ticket loco sounds good. How is it on loading gauge?

 

Out of B. R. loading gauge - that's why they can't use it into Eridge and are selling it. Wasn't there a recent article about the mods required to the one on the CVR? IIRC it had to be 'slimmed down' over the cylinders and cab. Ray.

 

Yep think it was Steam Rly Mag did it last month.

 

Anyone aware the LMS BG that was at Crewe has been moved to Booths in Rotherham? Reports elsewhere its due for disposal mid-August, but can be bought for the right price beforehand. However a plan for asbestos removal will be required.

 

Probably rules out what I was thinking of!

Steven

 

TkH's as built are slightly bigger than BR loading gauge but will fit many UK lines as they are not as big as many foreign locos - it is not for example a problem on our line clearing all structures Tunbridge Wells to Birchden as it is, but due to the mile of parallel running with Network Rail and our strict adherance to current mainline gauging requirements for that section the use of the loco is restricted to the rest of the line.

 

No one know of any pecketts for sale that need restoration or overhaul ect?

Cheers
Mike

 

I know of a little 0-4-0 that the owner may sell. pm your contact details.

 

Possibly. 0-4-0ST complete but, inevitably needs a bit of boiler work (some restaying & tubing) It is not mine to sell but the owner has previously expressed an interest in doing so. PM me if interested.

 

The TkH tank currently operational on the churnet valley (and ex Spa Valley) has been modified to suit BR loading gauge by building a new cab, and cutting down the water tanks/bunker, and shaving a bit off the cylinder castings.

 

The BHR have a wagon surplus to requirement and for sale, as posted on the M Shed FB group by David Martin:

"The 'weed killing' wagon is a chassis ex Purton. The axles are stamped 98 (tbc) and the wheel base is only 8'. The wheels are a design I have not seen elsewhere, the brake gear is also somewhat primitive, but effective! The wagon is surplus to BHR and for sale."

If you are interested, please contact me via PM and I can forward contact details.

Do you know if 4015 on the AVR has had similar treatment?

 

Hard to be certain from that photo, but they look as if they **could** be the spoked variant of Mansell's Patent:



If so, they could be unique survivors.
