This is the original forum of the Bristol Railway Archive that existed between 2003 and 2013. I finally rescued it after it seemed unrecoverable after a large crash. I have made it available for viewing. It is locked, all posts to the new version please!
Use this forum to talk about the railways in and around Bristol, or for any off-topic stuff you want to share. Also request photos and information that you are missing.
Has anyone got a pic of the shunter Western Fuel that used to work the coal yard at Whapping Wharf that they could donate to the website?
The quality doesn't matter, I would really like a pic of this engine because I used to play on the docks when I was a little 'un and me and my mates used to use the guards vans on the ends of the coal trains as 'dens'. They used to be nice and warm in the winter and sometimes the guard would leave behind all the paperwork pertaining to the train... a real find for a little kid like myself
I would of course give full credit to anyone who can supply me with a pic!
