As we know, step-frame trailer CT32 has not carried a number since it lost its headboard (see photo on LTSV). However, there is a part of it in the yard at Acton Works, visible from Bollo Lane. It is sitting on top of a container at the back, close to the dead LS (and CT39, the other step-frame trailer) and carries the number on a plate. HOWEVER, this is not the headboard. It is a section of deck about 6 foot square, that looks very like the section over the coupling. I thought this might mean that CT32 was scrapped, but I then saw a Crane Freuhauf step-frame trailer five minutes later coming past Acton Town station behind 2580M, which must have been CT32. Could it be that CT32 has had major surgery or is there another explanation? |
