Rail gear removed, modified with new cab, plastic wheel arches and bumper removed, carries registration YNU 584S. Identified from chassis number stamped in frame.
Mentioned in the DLR Engineering Fleet topic that this machine has recently been working for DLR based at Poplar. However, no visible sightings have yet been submitted. Has anyone actually seen it during its current visit to GB or previously when in GB?
On a visit to the HNRC / Switelsky depot at Worksop yesterday on the Worksop Whistler railtour, and although the train entered the yard and main shed, two machines could be glimpsed down the far end of the yard, and looked as if they had been there some time. Can anyone confirm whether these could be 73118 and 77909, as they are the only examples of each not seen for a long period ?
Hi Ben - Shall have a check of my photo to see if the number is visible - went there on a Cardiff & Avonside Railway Society visit - have it recorded in my notebook as 98709 - shall also check with other members on that trip what they have it recorded as
I saw this from Sandall Lane through the fence and across the training compound on 27/07/25 but wasn't certain of its identity. Have a poor phone image. I have now recorded a sighting from then at Trackwork.
Seen by myself stored around the back of Kirk Sandall depot last November. Very difficult to see fully from the car park of the haulier's yard (I got kicked out by security) but Google Earth shows it looks to have been out of use for a good while and likely not coming back to service..
Positively identifiable from the worksplate which is behind and below the right-side seat. It's currently visible in an out of bounds area under the coal-drop embankment, beyond the barriers that limit public access into the yard. A volunteer took me to see it today.
Some points renewal works in the Yard required many of the machines to be positioned at other depots or sidings. This freed up a "Slightly" Clearer View
The road/rail conversion no for the r/power dd130 dozer is rrc 610,I could not locate the s/no,but the one listed is likely the s/no for another dd130 dozer which was parked at side of 914124.1,which is next in line for conversion,was displaying a s/no of 010265.
As with my comment on ADW272 this crane is most likely in storage in Hunting Butts cutting. It is not a publicly accessible and viewable location. With the aid of binoculars the sidings can be seen from the south end of the Race Course platform. It's not really possible to peer over the parapets of the A435 road bridge overhead as they have been raised up by extra courses of bricks, in conjunction with a new combined foot and cycle path scheme.
That photo looks like it was taken in the cutting north of Toddington. I believe the crane is in store at the other end of the line in the sidings in Hunting Butts. south of Cheltenham Race Course station.
This Colmar is now back in the UK noted on Sunday 10th May 2026 at ECS Plant's Winterley Depot. It had a few stickers on it for an Australian Auction Website with reference number A267031, listing can be found here https://www.ironplanet.com.au/for-sale/Excavators-2015-Colmar-T10000FS-Hi-Rail-Wheel-Excavator-Victoria/12745125?srsltid=AfmBOoofxuyQkm8Ow_vN0myj9KD7rMcO0VVc93-xZxgXSlVKD19bzpYp
