Dear all, Here is an interesting picture. Notice the catch points in the foreground -- the turnout rail is chaired on alternate timbers only. The only reason I can think for this is simply economy of chair castings. This may be a one-off for this location (Newmarket) or maybe typical of GER / LNER practice generally -- anyone know? vlcsnap-169994.png This is actually a still from a Movietone newsreel showing (allegedly?) the last working shunting horse on BR, filmed on 27th Feb 1967. You can watch the full movie clip at: http://www.movietone.com/assets/BMN0624/wmv/BMN_92091_3.wmv Picture linked from the PhotoBucket site: http://s193.photobucket.com/albums/z205/lamdelz/ regards, Martin. |
