According to the ORR, a 'new' (to this country anyway) track machine has been authorised for use on HS1, on behalf of Swietelsky. It's numbered 99 81 9125 018-7, and the information provided is that it's a 'BDS 2000-4 Ballast Distribution System' machine. Presumably it's similar to 99 80 9125 002-2 listed on the website. Something to add onto the website perhaps?

Also, in addition to the above, authorisation has also been granted for 99 80 9123 004-0, for the same operator, also on HS1. This one is a 09-32x-4x4/4s Universal Dynamic Tamper.

When passing singlewell noted

9123-004 and a second machine with BDS2000 written on the side of it which is possibly 9125-002.

Hi Dan ,

Just noticed your post on the HS1 authorised track machine,so good to confirm the two machines at singlewell were 9123-004-0 and the BDS 2000 machine is 9125-018-7.

Thanks again.

Thanks vince .

Apologies if I'm missing the obvious. However, I can't find the "international visitors" lists in the Lists accessed from the top bar. Presumably they should be linked off Large Machines.

Similarly, I think it would be useful for the visiting road/rail machines to have a similar Category.

I currently access a list of "international visitors" by searching for one then clicking the "international visitors" link.
