03 at Avon Street

Post by madhattie »

Hi all,

Does anyone have a pic of one of the Bristol allocated 03s at work at the Avon Street cement works at all? I'm currently planning a model railway very loosely based on the branch and am trying to remember what was there without much success! (getting old ya know! 8) )

Also, I could really do with a pic of an 03 with it's runner wagon. I remember these locos coming on shed at Bath Road every night and they were always coupled to a match wagon. However, every photo I've seen of the 03s at work at Lawrence Hill all show them without a wagon!

Does anyone know what type of wagon the 03 ran with and have the number? I assume it was a TDB number?

A garbled message, but I hope you understand it... I've been awake all night with an ill baby :x

Hope the baby's all right.

I remember seeing the 03's with match wagons.

However it is a long time ago so to be exact is difficult.

Conflat L former cement container wagons or possibly the old GW shunters wagons with tool box are what I would imagine were used?

Unless you know better!
