Todays quiz.....

These two have truned up a Les Oaks' yard recently. I don't think
the 08 is one, wrong cab, buffers etc - any offers?

I don't know if anyone else succeeded but I get a "can't find server" 
message for all three links.

Me too but after a bit of a Google I found 
http://home.btconnect.com/soddingham/index.html which connected but is very 
slow and links from it have timed out on me and I still can't find the OP 
links!

If it times out, trying again usually works. Good 'ole BT. That's
why I use my "business" space for personal and a decent ISP for the 
business!

Links corrected (they are not part of the Soddingham site - yet).

That works.   By the way, what's the time on your computer?

When I see the item in my OE/Windows Mail it says the time is 1333.

Odd looking, not an NS but what else could it be?

Makers plates?

None I could see, or any form of ID. The only "lettering" was some
hand written ID's for the controls in the cab - none of the usual
BR type plastic engraved type thinigies, possibly an indcation some
sort of private use before it became static? The massive brackets
outside the buffers must have had some funtion, which could be a Clue.
The front doors on the nose look a bit after-market too, but the
central headlight looks "original", or at least old.

Possibilities that come to mind are of an ex-industrial (ICI at Northwich 
had several '08' type shunters built for them in the 1950s) or an ex-WD type 
brought back from abroad. The WD employed many ex-LMS (or LMS-style) EE 
shunters throughout Europe and the Middle East, some of which have been in 
service with other operators until recent times. A railway near Arezzo 
(Tuscany), for example, was still using one of the jackshaft driven type 
when I visited about eight years ago (it was one of their newer locos!)

These two loco's look identical to the ones that were on display at 
Oswestry, outside the old Cambrian railway works. I suspect they have been 
removed from there. HTH.

Looks like the same loco's to me.
