Despite no advance publicity (this was only the second time this year the Simplexes have been rostered) on the LBNGR Social media/web pages Simplex locos starred on class 1 turns on Sunday September 24th with on one turn a triple headed 10, 43 and 44 thrashing and clagging nicely on the following turns.
1140 Pages Park – Mundays Hill (43/44)
1245 Mundays Hill – Pages Park (43/44)
1400 Pages Park – Mundays Hill (10/43/44)
1505 Mundays Hill – Pages Park (43/44)
Phots from the day
No 10 “Hadyn Turner” clags even when idling, shes seen here at Pages park with 43 and 44 ready to thrash North to Munday’s Hill with the 1400 from Pages Park on Sep 24th 2023
The treble header eases round Vandyke curve
Parallel running on the mainline North of Stonehenge, all the haze is coming from no 10!
13 eases hoppers into Stonehenge yard passing 24, looking good once again
30 and crane putting on a good show at Stonehenge
44 and 43 arriving back at the Park with the 1505 ex Munday’s Hill
Simplex 44 looking good at the Park whilst the stock is shunted back into the shed
Thanks to all the Stonehenge volunteers for bringing back those 1970’s Simplex sound memories, great stuff!
