Model Forum / General / Railroads / May 2008Not an 08 (?)
Todays quiz..... These two have truned up a Les Oaks' yard recently. I don't think the 08 is one, wrong cab, buffers etc - any offers? http://home.btconnect.soddingham/Les_08-1.jpg http://home.btconnect.soddingham/Les_08-2.jpg http://home.btconnect.soddingham/Sentinel.jpg Cheers Richard  Signaturewww.beamends-lrspares.co.uk sales@beamends-lrspares.co.uk I have become... comfortably numb > Todays quiz..... > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Cheers > Richard I don't know if anyone else succeeded but I get a "can't find server" message for all three links.

Me too but after a bit of a Google I found http://home.btconnect.com/soddingham/index.html which connected but is very slow and links from it have timed out on me and I still can't find the OP links! > >> Todays quiz..... > >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > slow and links from it have timed out on me and I still can't find the OP > links! If it times out, trying again usually works. Good 'ole BT. That's why I use my "business" space for personal and a decent ISP for the business! Links corrected (they are not part of the Soddingham site - yet).

Makers plates? > Odd looking, not an NS but what else could it be? > > Makers plates? None I could see, or any form of ID. The only "lettering" was some hand written ID's for the controls in the cab - none of the usual BR type plastic engraved type thinigies, possibly an indcation some sort of private use before it became static? The massive brackets outside the buffers must have had some funtion, which could be a Clue. The front doors on the nose look a bit after-market too, but the central headlight looks "original", or at least old.

The WD employed many ex-LMS (or LMS-style) EE shunters throughout Europe and the Middle East, some of which have been in service with other operators until recent times. A railway near Arezzo (Tuscany), for example, was still using one of the jackshaft driven type when I visited about eight years ago (it was one of their newer locos!)

I suspect they have been removed from there. HTH. Mark http://www.geoffspages.co.uk/raildiary/image.asp?osw/13.jpg Looks like the same loco's to me. Mark |
