→Tampers: News on SVR tampers
::Confirmed by Duncan Ballard. Tamper is No DR73309 and it's owned by B&R Track Services, so on hire--[[User:Patrick Hearn|Patrick Hearn]] ([[User talk:Patrick Hearn|talk]]) 13:44, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
:::Thanks, I've added it in the [[Other rolling stock visiting the SVR]] page and won't bother with a dedicated page for now. I don't suppose Duncan has any info on the fate of [[RU411 Plasser and Theurer UST 79 S universal tamping machine|RU411]] and whether [[DR73202 Plasser and Theurer Universal Liner/Tamper|DR73202]] is due to be scrapped as per the Facebook post? --[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 15:48, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
::::Bob Foster supplied the answer. All three machines are/were owned by B&R Track Services. RU411 has been sold on and left the SVR in 2019: it is being worked on. DR73202 is getting very tired and it has been decided to retire it as it is becoming unreliable. It will be leaving the SVR shortly and will be used as a donor of parts for other tampers.--[[User:Patrick Hearn|Patrick Hearn]] ([[User talk:Patrick Hearn|talk]]) 20:21, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
