PR95300 Prologie prototype low liner container flat

bartlett.paul@tiscali.co.uk (Paul Bartlett's Photographs) — Tue, 21 May 2013 12:02:02 GMT

]]>The international introduction of 9ft. 6in high containers was a serious problem for BR & Freightliner, as marine traffic was increasingly important, and these were out of gauge. This early experiment, known as the Prologie, was unsuccessful. The small bogie and small wheels with inside bearings proving to be unacceptable. By 1989 more positive experimental wagons led to the introduction of sets of low height container wagons.

EWS has remounted some on their standard short wheelbase bogie. The later Salmons were introduced with through air pipe and many Salmons received airbrakes from the 1970s. Some were used various conversions by the engineers - single line jib cranes, etc.

Class 47 Brush type 4 Diesel

bartlett.paul@tiscali.co.uk (Paul Bartlett's Photographs) — Tue, 14 May 2013 22:57:16 GMT

]]>In total 512 locomotives were built by Brush and Crewe Works between 1962 and 1968. For many years the "standard" large locomotive of BR, they operated extensively across most of BR. Delightful in their original two tone green livery, after the blue years, the railfreight sector liveries really suited them. They were awe inspiring when new, I've never forgotten the first time I saw one at Kings X, far more inspiring than the American influenced English Electric designs. Lovely to still be able to go down to York station and see them regularly, more than 50 years after introduction.
Technical details are from http://www.class47.co.uk/c47_intro_v2.php a very professional, excellent site.
