Not an 08 (?)

Me too but after a bit of a Google I found

which connected but is very slow and links from it have timed out on me and I still can't find the OP links!

That works. By the way, what's the time on your computer?

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?

Cheers Richard

Oh bum....

Should be....

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).

Cheers Richard

12.33pm by the time I've pressed "send".

Any reason?

Could be an ex Dutch railways Class 400?

When I see the item in my OE/Windows Mail it says the time is 1333.

Odd looking, not an NS but what else could it be?

Makers plates?

Summer Time gone wonky?

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.

Possibilities that come to mind are of an ex-industrial (ICI at Northwich had several '08' type shunters built for them in the 1950s) or an ex-WD type brought back from abroad. 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!) Brian

These two loco's look identical to the ones that were on display at Oswestry, outside the old Cambrian railway works. I suspect they have been removed from there. HTH.

Looks like the same loco's to me.
