Must be a pair of 2HAP Units, 6022/33?

Must be a pair of 2HAP Units, 6022/33?

Yes... but it's 6022/23 ( consecutive pair ).

They were later converted back to standard.

I'll bet it took you a lot of digging to find that because it's not readily Googleable unless you already know the answer.

If you hadn't given that last clue then I doubt I would have found the answer

That's a hard one to follow so here is something perhaps a little easier...

At which Locomotive Works would you have found The Lawn?

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

Horwich?

 

[Ash Bridge]

Sorry, not Horwich.

 

[Whistler40145]

Swindon?

 

[Ash Bridge]

Not Swindon either.

 

[Whistler40145]

Is it in the UK?

 

[backontrack]

Inverurie?

 

[Ash Bridge]

Yes.

Inverurie?

No.

 

[Whistler40145]

Derby?

Not Derby I'm afraid.

 

[Whistler40145]

Is it in the Northern part of the UK?

 

[Ash Bridge]

Yes it is.

 

[Whistler40145]

First I'd say Doncaster Works.

 

[backontrack]

York?

 

[Ash Bridge]

First I'd say Doncaster Works.

We have a winner

I thought someone would have got this sooner tbh, then again the google searches I did didn't throw anything up directly, looking at google images there are several examples of loco's such as Deltics labelled as being displayed "By The Lawn"

Anyway, Well Done!

Over to you.

 

[Whistler40145]

I'm very surprised with myself and I used my brain and not Google!

Here goes with a nice easy one....

What's the boggy area called that Ribblehead Viaduct is built on?

 

[backontrack]

Blea Moor?

 

[Whistler40145]

Not that one sorry

 

[backontrack]

I have a book about the S&C that I recently picked up from an Oxfam...can I use that?

 

[Whistler40145]

If you wish, be my guest.

 

[backontrack]

Thanks. There's nothing about it at the start of the thread.

Batty Moss?

 

[Whistler40145]

Correct.

Also, Ribblehead Viaduct is also known as Batty Moss Viaduct.

Please set another question.[emoji3]

[Whistler40145]

Could be the first British locomotive to travel at speeds in excess of 100 mph?

 

[backontrack]

Could it be the first British locomotive to travel at speeds in excess of 100 mph?

Correct, it was the first to reach 100mph, and it may be the first locomotive in the world (an American one claims the record, but there is no evidence for this).

Your floor.

 

[Whistler40145]

I declare Open Floor
