Nice link Loco Joe but i think you'll find we have 3 of these tracklaying trains here in this country. 1 of them has been an is still working on the Western Region an another working London North Western the last machine is a multi purpose machine able to i think re-lay S&C or Points an Crossings, as for the 3X tamper we have several of those to an Ballast regulators that can do all the profiling of the ballast behind the tampers to finish off the relay an leave the track looking like it should be.

Hi Wyvern, Yes these machines do get rid of wet beds as they re-new the formation at the same time as re-newing the track once renewed the track requires tamping an once the track is handed back to the maintainer now Network Rail it is programed for maintainance tamping periodicaly to keep the top an line in good condition an fit for trains to run on at what ever the designated line speed is for the line.
