Tyne & Wear Emergency Tender Shelvoke in 1985

As promised, here's a picture best viewed in conjunction with picture 5510. As will be seen from the extremely short rear overhang, this shows the appliance in its original state.

Well Done Ian. This must be the earliest picture so far of ETN909W. The tell tail signs are : Domed, not sqaure rear centre roof beacon, lack of grille flashers, a reversible FIRE sign, no tyre pressure markings and only one set of 2 tones ( In this machines early days, from 2 miles away, you could always tell which of the Foxtrots were turning out. The sound of 1, 2 or 3 pairs of 2 tones were a give away - 1 for the ET only, 2 for the WTL only and 3 (a mish mash of a sound really) for both.

Barry, Please bring it to Preston Park this year !!

The E.T just behind the Shelvoke is EBB783C (See picture 1609 ). The curved roof profile is the tell tale sign.

Was this the older traditional center aisle walk through design or simply a big box walk around style?

Centre aisle, cupboards either side, with spare BA on one side with multiple spare BA bottle storage. Kit also included a decontamination shower. I will post some photos of the inside.

Thanks Barry, and a Happy New Year!

I was in Darlington briefly in December but unfortunately just did not have any time to take up your invitation to see your wonderful collection.
