A derailer to stop runaway trains entering the mainline is common but look what any derailed train would collide into - its a newly erected stanchion ! Maybe something to model where space is limited ?

In the Former Yugoslavia, a couple of NOHAB double ended General Motors units were repainted to represent Great Northern and Santa Fe units. To wit http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/26186

The Overland between Melbourne and Adelaide grew in the early 1970’s to about 20 cars length and I remember seeing a Victorian F Class engine which was very close except for minor details to a British 08 class 0-6-0 loco bring the set in single handedly from the car sheds to the platform in Spencer Street, and at not a bad clip either!

Hi Trevor. It would be nice to have a photo of this event. As I know a lot of retired Drivers that would swear that Mainline Locos never ran Tender first. Best wishes. Kevin6. EXPRESS LOCOS RUNNING TENDER FIRST
Brian Macdermott (UK)
On 4 October 1956, the loco of the Up ‘Royal Scot’ failed north of Carlisle. The train eventually arrived 62 minutes late behind Crab 2-6-0 No.42876 – tender first.
Staying on the thread Kevin.

It would be but I was born in Australia in 1954 and lived here most of my nearly 64 years. The only experience I have is seeing 4-6-0's on the South Devon and Paignton and Dartmouth Railways as well as a 4-6-2 West Country and a S&D 2-8-0 on the West Somerset running backwards as well as a movie showing Tornado hauling a train tender first.
I have also seen video of Union Pacifics 4-8-4 no 844 hauling a train tender first so in short it has been known to happen in the preservation era but Brian would have been very accurate with his recording.
Regards
Trevor

I actually tried that but did not find much apart from the Heritage Railways pictures… any particular links that you found through the images please? I also tried 844 tender first as I saw a pic in Trains a long time ago but again to no avail…
Update
Sorry Ron I tried again using "British Railways locomotives running tender first" nd came up with quite a few old photos
