Back to the hydraulic turntable, found an image of a Class 121 powering one in Dublin 1964

 

That's the same video posted on the thread by NIR on Aug 17 but no harm seeing it again. Lots of great prototypical coaching stock on there, 1950s built CIE coaches that lasted thro' BnT livery to the 1980s, Park royals, 4w Luggage vans etc.

I have looked for and not found any additional photos or video of the Amiens street turntable using vacuum (or any additional turntables for that matter). Most photos I have seen, seem to have the device removed in favor of a release lever to be powered around manually.

Apart from the 121s, the end of steam and introduction of double cabbed diesels probably meant that the device was not maintained or replaced

The short train at 1:18-ish in, the two Cravens must be brand new or newly in service based on the timeline. Wonder was it a test run?

How are the 121's being transported?

Not by road, I hope?

Photo taken in Lithuania this morning...

And only a 20' container at that
