🚂 Day 6 - Harmony 🎵

I had to do something for Traintober and the idea of Harmony brought me the idea of a quartet of Barbershop singers composed of well dressed lovely Jinties in pixel art

I get the cool idea to name my little army of Charcadets after Steam Locomotives and promptly forget what all the nicknames were other than Jinty and uhhh.... Pissy Willies.........

WANKERS.

The Marsh I1x Steam Locomotive was designed for the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway for heavy suburban trains. Built by Brighton Works between 1906 and 1907, they became notorious. While reliable, their steaming was so poor that crews hated them.

As a result, they gained a nickname. Rather than "Jinty" or "Pug" or "Dandy Tanks"... they gained the nickname "Wanker Tanks" because of their high performance starts being lost to disappointing results, and their general hassle for locomotive crews.

The last Wanker climaxed and was withdrawn in 1951, having endured Southern Railways and the early days of BR before being discharged.

Ecclesbourne Railway: Progress Saturday 21st July 2018

Dear all, Another lovely summers day which featured the WyvernRail AGM. Unfortunately, visitors weren't able to sample steam services though due to a problem with the locomotive whilst it was being prepared in the morning, which meant that 31206 did the honours. People still seemed to enjoy their trip but hopefully the Jinty will be repaired soon. Down the yard, there was quite alot happening on the loco fleet as the Diesel Gala approaches. The Class 73 received more fettling including proper testing of the exhausters and also testing of the multiple working with the Class 33, which does work! It was great to see them as a pair moving up and down and it was quite amusing to talk through the loudaphone to the other loco. Class 08 605 was receiving routing maintenance of the rods and axle boxes including new pads and general lubrication. This enabled a loaded test run to be carried out in the evening which was successful. 31 601 had further work too, including work to the entry step boards.

No.47406 belongs to a prolific class of LMS Class 3F locomotives mostly referred to as Jinties although the origin of this nick name is not certain.

Samedi 18 mars : SVR Spring Steam Gala - The Engine House

Le SVR est vraiment un réseau professionnel même s’il se compose de bénévoles. La preuve en est avec un véritable musée qui est intégré sur la ligne à Highley. Il présente des locomotives qui attendent de redevenir opérationnelles. Il y a également des expositions temporaires très intéressantes ! Et même un balcon pour prendre des photos des trains qui passent...

Petit coup de coeur perso pour la Jinty, of course !

It was going to be yet another long train journey from Mumbai to Chennai – yep, you guessed it – by 11027 Mumbai Chennai Mail. The 4th time in 6 months – boringly predictable to most of you by now….or so it seemed. Early on the day of the journey (April 30) I was just tracking the running status of 11042 MAS-CSMT express (the train with which 11027 has an RSA) on https://etrain.info/in – to my shock, the train was running more than 5 hours late! As I feared, 11027 eventually got rescheduled by 4 hours (to leave CSMT at 03 45 early the next morning instead of 23 45 in the night! :O ) thanks to 11042 arriving 6+ hours late! Later I found out that the late running of 11042 was due to a major maintenance block at AJJ (lasting about 2 weeks) https://www.irctchelp.in/2016/01/all-special-train-blocks-updates-2016.html – as per etrain 11042 was stuck at AJJ for almost 2 hours on April 29th, after starting from MAS 1 hour late!

I left my home by around 11 pm, intending to spend a few hours in the Upper Class AC waiting room at CSMT; as it wouldn’t be safe to travel in the locals beyond midnight. 12860 Howrah Mumbai Geetanjali express led by SRC WAP4 22529 overtook my local at Matunga – the train was running close to 3 hours late. I just about managed to get a seat in the waiting room, since there was a big crowd; I guess most of them were travelling in 11027! Announcements were repeatedly made for 01079 CSMT-KCVL special to depart from Platform 17 – important of course, but made it harder for me to get a decent sleep! 😦  More unhelpful was the temperature of the AC (predictably 😛 ). After 2 hours, I finally gave up and instead shifted to the adjacent non AC waiting room! 😛 There I ironically found it easier to sleep (even if it was not for much), before waking up around 02 45. I saw many passengers leave and head towards the platforms, which meant that the rake of our train must have finally been shunted to its designated platform.

As expected, 11027 was on PF14. My coach B1 was of a 2013 make; next to an extra coach B2 and closer to the rear.

Our loco was KYN WCAM2P 21863.

There were plug points in all bays as well as bio toilets. The seats and cushions had a pleasing maroon brown hue. I soon clambered on to my UB and slept after having my ticket checked. Added to our very late departure, the going was slow as well; and we took almost 5 hours to reach Pune. I had a solid sleep of close to 8 hours, though I woke up a few times in between. I could make out that we were being hauled by an EMD post Pune, going by the pull of the loco and its unique horn. We had a long halt at Bhigwan, during which a raging ALCO with a shrill horn crossed us with an express – probably 11406 Amravati Pune express. There was a brief stop at Jinti Road home signal, following which we accelerated through the station; crossing a BCNA freight in the process.

I noticed that our loco was a strong smoker. There were many rock cuttings and mounds before we crossed the Ujjaini Reservoir (created through the Dam on Bhima River).

We then crossed a river at MPS before Parewadi – where we crossed another freight. There was another river with mounds of waste in it. There was a good amount of freight action, as we overtook a twin WDG4 hauled freight at Washimbe. Reached Jeur at 12 31, 6 hours 3 mins late. Here we halted for 3 mins. There were fields and rock cuttings before we crossed another WDG4 hauled freight at Bhalwani. Then there were plantains and rock cuttings before we pulled into Kem at 12 51. It was a long stop. 18520 LTT-VSKP express, which had been hot on our heels; arrived behind KYN WDP4D 40233 and made an unscheduled halt. 

I sensed that there was a crossing. Sure enough, 11302 SBC-CSMT Udyan express rushed past behind Pune WDP4 40144.

Already running 6+ hours late, I thought we would be overtaken by 18520 (which is a faster train). Instead we were given the proceed and departed at 13 08, after a halt lasting 17 mins. Crossed a freight hauled by twin ALCOs (Leading – Orange & Cream livery; trailing – blue-white livery) at Dhavalas. There was an LC with a lot of vehicles before we arrived at KWV (PF4) at 13 26, 5 hrs 26 mins late – a good amount of slack between Kem and KWV reducing our delay. There was a pair of AEB-fitted UBL WDG4s (Leading – 12324) on the right. There was another pair of UBL WDG4s (Leading – 12156) on the left. At Wadsinge, we crossed an EMD-led express waiting for us on the right (probably 16340 NCJ-CSMT express) as well as a WDG4 with a freight carrying Steel coils in the distant right. Then we crossed 71414 Solapur Pune DEMU and another LC before Madha; where there was a TSR of 90 kmph on the right track. After that we crossed yet another freight pulled by a WDG4. I had Veg. Biryani for a late lunch.

Noticed that one of the bio toilets at the front of the coach had a “Bio toilet” sign even though it was not actually a bio toilet :O ! At Mohol, there was a sleeper factory which also housed cranes and lorries in sheds. There were also coconut trees in the distant right and a highway across us. We crossed a train having coaches in CR daytime livery headed by an ALCO – probably 12170 Solapur Pune Intercity express. Then there was a bridge over a river with small islands after Mundhewadi. The scenery continued, in the form of sugarcane and corn fields, as well as another bridge over a stream. We overtook a WDG4D hauled freight at Pakni. Then there were sugarcane and maize fields, stacks of hay, hay huts and cottages, cow sheds and meadows. At Bale, there was an empty and sparkling clean DEMU rake on the right. We crossed an orange and cream ALCO with an express. Then there were twin WDG4s with a freight on the right-most track.

As we entered SUR, I saw a flatbed rake on the right which departed towards GR. Pulled into PF1 at 14 50, 5 hrs 20 mins late. I saw that our loco was KYN WDP4D 40260.

There were twin WDG3As – 14898 of GTL and 13263 of KJM; next to the rake of 12157 Pune Solapur Hutatma express (An AC Observation Car in the front).

The station was crowded as usual.

18520 arrived on PF3 at 15 01, 36 mins late. Will we again proceed ahead of this train or will it overtake us? How would the rest of our run to MAS shape us? I leave it here on a tantalizing note; you will be forced to wait till Part 2 to hear more 😛 .

Ecclesbourne Railway: Progress Thursday 7th June 2018

Dear all,

Another pleasant sunny day with the first of our summer Thursdays. It was a steady day comparable to the same day last year but those who travelled said that they had a thoroughly enjoyable time. 

Down the yard, the C examination on 53599 got under way with investigations into why No1 engine is making a strange ticking sound. Work also started on replacing some rotten wooden panelling in the Guard's compartment, caused by previous water ingress.

The Jinty, which was repaired by the home railway's maintenance team on Tuesday, had a steam test today and should be good for service at the weekend following last Sunday's issues which prevented it from operating.

As I write we are taking delivery of a second 08 shunter, which has arrived courtesy of Rivieria Trains who have brought it for kind-of warm storage. It is numbered 08605 and was collected this morning from DB Cargo at Wigan. The locomotive is fitted with the equipment for remote control, although regrettably the controller isn't with it so we won't be playing with that just yet!

I have had a rare day at Duffield today and I thought I would share a few photographs of the station. It really is a credit to the volunteers who work at Duffield as the station is beautifully well kept.

Ecclesbourne Railway: Progress Sunday 31st December 2017

Dear all,

A fairly mild end to 2017 as we ran our Blue Timetable. There was a steady stream of passengers all day, including plenty of walkers. Down at the shed, a lone ranger continued with the quest to repaint the Class 33 which is coming on a treat now.

As our 150th year celebration draws to a close, I thought it would be useful to reflect upon what a fantastic year it has been for our railway. We set out to make it a bumper year and I think we achieved it! We had many great events and lots of happy smiling faces through the door. It has taken a lot of effort on the part of our staff and volunteers and they have each played their part in their own way.

The year kicked off with our March Diesel Locomotive Weekend, which featured a visiting Class 14 locomotive for the first time. 'Eric' was a hit with the general public and it was great to see such an unusual yet versatile locomotive running on our line.  The event also featured the first services for the newly-arrived Class 31, which became a first enthusiast favourite.

Something equally strange happened for the Multiple Memories Railcar Gala in May, where we had a visiting Class 153 from East Midlands Trains. It was certainly weird seeing that operating up and down the branch! The whole weekend started with a bit of a nightmare if I remember rightly. Several things went wrong with the transport of the unit which meant that it didn't land with us until midnight. We were then up bright and early for the naming ceremony as the unit now proudly wears the "Ecclesbourne Valley Railway 150 Years" nameplate. We were very grateful to East Midlands Trains for all of their help to make this weekend a great success.

I suppose the biggy was the visit of the 3F 'Jinty' 47406 which delighted the visitors for a large part of the summer. Operating over several key events including the Classic Bus and Coach Rally, the Classic Transport Weekend and the 1950s Bank Holiday Weekend, the locomotive helped us achieve several 'firsts' for our railway. For example, we passed steam and diesel services at Shottle for the first time. The 'Jinty' was so popular we then set about looking for a steam presence in 2018 and happily, we were able to secure the return of the locomotive so that we can enjoy it once more.

One of the passing locomotives was visiting Class 26 D5343. This locomotive operated intensively during August and was a firm favourite with the enthusiasts. Some of whom came every single day it was operating! It was certainly a fun locomotive to have around.

Finally, to cap off the season, we have just completed our busiest ever Santa season which worked very well indeed.

I look forward to another successful season in 2018. The return of the 'Jinty' is fantastic! We kick off again in March after some upcoming hard work by the PWay team and the big opening event is the Diesel Weekend on 17th and 18th featuring something very special indeed – a Class 35 Hymek!

None of it would be possible without the hard work and dedication of our volunteers. A Happy New Year to all!

Leigh
