Hello,
Snooping around the East Somerset Railway las Sunday....
GWR 35234 Brake van was no where to be found.
Understand it was removed but to where?

Not removed, I shunted it around yesterday!

 

Oh dear I must go to Spec Savers.......:-(

Other options are available....

Returning to the naughty yard.

 

At Fawley Hill today noted a 2nd Shark B/V in grey. Was advised by someone there that they had done a swap with a GW Toad to Isfield, so presumably the Shark was 993762, but it had no number. Assume Toad 68564 now at Isfield. Reason was that the Toad had too long a wheelbase for Fawley Hill apparently.

I can confirm that the wheelbase of the Toad was too long for the curves at the bottom of the hill!

@The Saggin' Dragon - Would it be this one: Adrian Shooter's Carrabassett saloon has been at the Ffestiniog for a while - https://www.facebook.com/festrail/p...40578110715/10156946141325716/?type=3&theater

Spotted this on the A1 near Longniddry a couple of weeks ago.....

 

Probably on its way to GWSR, all tucked up inside the shed until end of June.

 

It was going east towards Edinburgh.

 

Either the SatNav wasn't set quite right, or it was a different thomas then!

 

Must have been another Thomas...maybe going to Bo'ness?

 

B024798

Hope I have the number correct. This is a standard BR box van with planked sides, parked OOU inside the abandoned Buxton DMU depot for many years. That has recently been demolished and the contractors created a road access of sorts in the process. The van is now at Wirksworth and restoration has begun. The van will be restored with its current Enparts markings, "to work between Buxton TMD and Longsight only". I think there are only two more of these left on the network.

This GUV based for a long time at Pickering and used as a store vehicle has now been scrapped.

Reported on VCT as having its body removed back in April.
The frames were cut at Newbridge last week.
Bogies retained.

 

Understand Mk.1 horse box 96300 may have moved from Llynclys to the Llangollen at the end of July, can anyone confirm please?
