Some more crusty wagons were visible in a siding and only viewable from a train ride. Highlights include a cut-n-shut double length Freightliner twin wagon; some Conflats, and who knows what else. * Would've gladly paid for a Wagon Walk Experience to get closer to these! #TheGreatestGathering

Lurking in a corner at The Greatest Gathering were these interesting crusty old wagons. One was an "Internal User" shunting runner wagon; and the other a large flat wagon marked "LUL Material Only". #TheGreatestGathering

Often overlooked by enthusiasts, these items of plant on display at The Greatest Gathering were all built in Derby. The Rail Grinder was built at Loram's facility across the road; and the small metal trolleys were built by Donfabs & Consillia #ontrackplant #TheGreatestGathering ontrackplant.com
