I'll suggest it's the compound opposite Royal Oak station. There was one of these Torrent machines there earlier, but I couldn't identify it. I have a pic of the basket in case the marks and rust patches can be matched up to anything in the future...
Hi Jon, yes it was, I've got a photo of it. There was stuff in the way (so the photo is in no way suitable for uploading to this site), but it was visible. The registration plate was clearly visible too.
Yorkshire Puddings you saw this last.. Few times I've been past the depot on a passing train the flyover seems to give the best view but I'm yet to spot it.. where abouts was it on depot when you saw it please? Thanks
Tony O'Dell I see you view this regularly! Where abouts can it be seen from at Ilford TMD? I'm guessing not from a passing train but by walking to the depot entrance from Ilford station?
YM63 NCJ (presumed T321TRC) still present at TRAC depot Chesterfield on 5/2/23 but not seen in its usual place on 2/4/23 so presumably moved elsewhere now after sale. Only three vehicles in the yard today and most of the other bits of machinery cleared away in recent weeks leaving the yard nearly empty.
Hoping to sell abroad, despite the age, had a significant overhaul/upgrade by Plasser UK a lot of years ago, Engine and gearbox upgrades, always served well as a backup machine, only problem was the silly cross conveyer removal mod to the brushbox!
I was only going on what they told me yesterday. Glad I never went to Hitchin looking for it. That would not have been fun on a Friday 🤣🤣
It's the only TRS item I need. I now have their phone number so will call ahead the next time I am on a mission to see it, providing they give me the correct info next time of course!!
No doubt Martin you were told that in good faith, but TRS1042 is not around Hitchin. It's spending the weekend in East Sussex, working off Jarvis Brook on embankment works.
Believe this mistaken for 019053 at Shettleston on 3rd May. Has been mistaken before. Has been sitting upside down for a couple of years now and when looked at the brain automatically see the 9 as a 6. It's an easy mistake not to transpose it to notes. See picture of 019053
Given that this is a brand new build by AJH and was just having the last few glitches ironed out on 31st March before use, I think that September 21 sighting is a bit suspect...

The Trust and a number of other owners have now commissioned the production of some new Wickham Type 27 / 27A Mk III Chassis.
Ours is for this Trolley as its original chassis was declared beyond repair.
If any other owners require a new chassis, please can they get in contact with us promptly, so that production can be coordinated.
