As others have mentioned, this has never had a jib whilst in preservation. Thus, any jib (not job) bits seen at Wishaw almost certainly belong to something else.
I recently made enquiries of the one who knows these things at Wishaw. It was confirmed that what remained of DRC80115 had gone locally for scrap around the time suggested (late 2021/early 2022). Wasn't sure to where but was reasonably certain it was EMR, Kingsbury.
Thus, I'm a little suspicious of the recent Wishaw sightings.
It would appear that vehicles are no longer stored in the adjacent Collins Earthworks yard as some building work is taking place there. R6 EWS is now in the Syneox yard.
I think it has moved slightly - when I saw it in August it wasn't as close to the fence. The trailer 011372 was nearby too but also moved / less covered since the previous 2019 photo.
Jarrod, were you able to confirm who now owns this machine? I understand that Krause & Hall have purchased another pair of ART17s and the fleet number you noted would suggest this may be one of them.
This trolley appears to be in the same place as the photo taken on 29/09/18 but is now clear of brambles etc and is easily viewable over the fence from Ascough Wynd.
Thanks to Balfour Beatty Rail and our friends at The Cab Yard in getting this transported from Ashford OTPD (departed 11/11/25) and delivered to Llanelli & Mynydd Mawr Railway (arrived 12/11/25).
Thanks to the L&MMR for providing a short term home for it.
Someone has logged a sighting with a note saying: "ECS028 works plate clearly shows PB14440 / 2024".
(a reminder to everyone - if you have anything like this to say then please leave a comment on the machine's record as the notes sometimes get easily missed)
Can anyone identify this tamper, please? It is slightly different from UGT1 at VoR, unless that one has been modified since its picture on the website was taken. It has a Deutz F4L912W engine.
I'm unable to flag sightings, but DR76918 was not in the consist of 6X81 on the 26th October. The formation was DR76905, 97308, DR76921, DR76919, DR76920, DR76910, 97309, DR76922.
The machine is still in the same place since it arrived at Quattro Cwmbran in 2024, and has most certainly not had the ZZ prefix nor has it been refurbished.
This one seems to have a bit of a mix up in it - as far as I'm aware it hasn't left Cwmbran since 2024; but there's a couple of odd sightings of it at AJH in May 2025 and someone has editted the record's expiry date/ZZ number to imply recent refurbishment?
Both AD9119 and AD9127 were moved to Toddington on 23/8/91, and having checked my book for 10/2/93, how I have got them at MoD Kineton I don't know, so both those observations will be deleted. As a matter of interest, at Kineton when visited that day were Trailer 9215 in the shed workshop, AD9121 was working and towing trailer 9206, AD 9129 and AD9150 were both in the C&W shed. There were five other Baguleys outside unidentified, together with locos 257, 265, 273, 274, 277, 278, 423, 428 and WD42. Many apologies for the vehicle sighting errors.
Does anyone know exactly when this (and AD9119) moved to the GWSR? There are sightings of them there in 1992 and 1994, but an odd sighting of them at Kineton during 1993.
