In the video, we see the Llangollen Diesel Group undertaking a days shunting in the loco yard. The main purpose for the shunt was so that 2859 (recently sold to a new owner) could be retrieved from the end of the diesel road, and then place in a more accessible position ready for collection by low loader over the next few weeks.
The shunt also gave the diesel group the chance to reorganise the diesel road the way they wanted it. At the same time, opportunity was taken to prepare the Class 37 and 47 for the winter.
A good number of volunteers turned up which made the whole day relaxed and enjoyable, despite the cold wet weather. Well done to all involved.
Also featured is 2807, which was running the railways services trains. 2807 is due to stay at Llangollen for the rest of the year and is currently due to operate the Santa Specials and Winter Warmer Gala.

The great shots of 2859 give a good prototype to what I’m modelling. Thanks for making the video!

I don't know why but I really like British shunting locomotives. Thanks for posting.

The 08, goes way back to the GWR, LMS and Southern Railways, all had very similar versions and they were the very first diesel shunting units on Britain's railways...

Thank you for a most engaging 40 mins or so .By far more interesting to watch than eg: Tornado flashing through some obscure country station @70mph.These movements are an excercise in logistics in the hands of a volunteer band of true devotees turning out on a day of absolute c**p. All credit to all concerned, particularly the chap in the Box sorting out the points etc. Llangollen Railway folks you have enough restoration/running materials to keep you going with all the volunteer help you can sustain for years to come - power to your efforts!

They might need to cover up or paint some of that rolling stock.

Im a volunteer at llangollen but hav not seen that pilkington loco before is it kept at the carage shed?

@chesterjoey2231 7 жыл бұрын

Pilkington is usually kept in the main loco yard, mainly used for lighter shunting duties such as a light engine or two. She is not fitted with train brakes so is unsuitable for shunting coaching stock for example, nor is she suitable for running on the mainline.

Is the engine complete? As in did the railway have all the parts in storage?

@chesterjoey2231 7 жыл бұрын

Some of the parts... We did build up a collection of parts of her eventual restoration, but when the decision was taken to put her up for sale nearly 10 years ago, a lot of the smaller/rarer parts were sold off to other groups. So to answer your question, no. But he was not complete when she left Barry Scrapyard either.
