StoneRoad2013's photos with the keyword: on-track plant

Small "Matisa" tamper ... Matisa Tamping Machine, built in 1949, British Railways (Eastern Region), No. DB74007, previously based at Boston, Lincolnshire. Useful for "spot re-sleepering" or on short sections ... more modern machines have multiple heads. These are VERY noisy when working [ear plugs and ear defenders required]

More on-track plant parked in the siding at Haltwhistle (July 2014). Name plate at the far end reads "James Watt" - a Plasser & Theurer tamper 73804 in SB Rail livery.

Seen at Llandudno Junction 18 August 2014. DR 73805 in Colas Rail livery. Plasser & Theurer Tamper.
