Adrock Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Hi all, I'm heading up to Settle today with the wife for the next 4 says. We're staying close to the station and I'm hoping to go out and do some photography, as well as have a trip on the line. I want to capture the Fellsman on Wednesday. It really is just a stunningly scenic line and I can't wait to be there again! Some great pictures in this thread if I manage to capture anything interesting ill post here. Equally, if anyone wants a picture of anything in particular please give me a shout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted August 19, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time - sounds like a good holiday to me! Just post any S&C pictures that take your fancy. I'm certain they'll be much appreciated by the folks on here! Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrock Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Thanks Jeff! Will put a few pictures up when I get back home. I tend to read a lot more than I post on the forum and your layout is one I've been following. You're doing a fantastic job of modelling the dales in miniature!

RMweb Premium Roger Sunderland Posted September 23, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hi Saw your post, I,m a new member. I am currently building a 4mm layout of Garsdale. Any ideas where I could get working timetables, freight and passenger from? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted September 23, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hi Saw your post, I,m a new member. I am currently building a 4mm layout of Garsdale. Any ideas where I could get working timetables, freight and passenger from? Could I suggest you send an email via the Forum PM system to "The Stationmaster" (Mike). Mike is the leading poster on the Forum and incredibly knowledgeable with apparent access to all kinds of data. He'll probably set you in the right direction. If you tell him of your proposed layout and that Jeff referred you he'll probably be of assistance! Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 As the line is in my back yard i do get to catch most steam workings on the line & thought i would offer a couple of shots from my personal collection. CSC_0017.JPG Black 5, 45305 heads north through Settle on what was a rather snowy day. It was that bad i never made it home on the motorbike & had to very slowly ride to my uncles at Horton in Ribblesdale. DSC_0793.JPG Again Black 5 on the last Hadrian of the season this year heading through Gargrave station. DSC_0084.JPG This is one of the best photos i've taken. It's taken me 2 years to get this photo because i've either not been in time or the weather has been bad. I had a knee operation the day before & hobbled with a camera, tripod & deck chair through a bog & up & down banking to snap this. The bonus was the princess failed on the northern leg & left the Castle to return south alone with coaches. DSC_0313.JPG Here we have the 8F heading south one summers day this year with the Fellsman. I really like this engine it has such a great sound & i have a good memory of it climbing up the drag at Selside about 20mph making a real rackett & hissing away with safety valves blowing ( a fantastic sight ) Simon Hin Simon, I have just caught up with you wonderful pics, thanks for posting them they are a real inspiration. :locomotive: :locomotive: Cheers.

Andrew P Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Thanks for the pics, the last one has obviously been photoshopped as the sun never shines on the S & C. hahahaaa Brilliant Cheers. :locomotive: :locomotive: Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigd Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Just so Andrew P can feel at home, here is Ribblehad in more typical mood. And here is a few more at Aisgill summit when the sun did shine! Who took down the telegraph poles? And looking the other way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigd Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I move to the north end of the line for today's pictures. They are from a day trip in 2007, on another wet day. Carlisle Citadel, a couple of miles north of the point where the S&C merges with the Newcastle line. A class 66 brings northbound emptys into the station past the power signal box. A few miles south, and we are in the Eden Gorge, at Armathwaite. A class 158 Dmu is departing north past the disused goods shed, and preserved signal box. Still at Armathwaite, 60009 Union of South Africa is passing through on a Cumbian Mountain Express. I finish with a 1980s shot of Long Marton viaduct, with an inter city liveried class 47.

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted January 4, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 4, 2014 Cheers Andy. Your third photo of Union/CME has provided me with an excuse to run my A4 on Kirkby Luneside! Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Jeff, you don't need an excuse, just shut the doors and don't tell anyone, :no: hahhha Great set of pics again Andy, thanks for sharing them with us, the more the merrier. :locomotive: :locomotive: Bodge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigd Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 A few more pictures: First another shot at the same location. Mallard hauling one of the 50th anniversary specials. Was it really over 25 years ago? Moving up the line to Kirkby Stephen. It was pictures of Brittanias and 9Fs taken here, that were published in the Railway World Annual, that started my interest in the S&C. Sorry it another wet day. And a train leaving for the south. I had gone to the station to buy a couple of station signs. Finally here is one at Aisgill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted January 8, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2014 Andy (S) - your caption next to Kirkby Stephen made me laugh .... no need to apologise about the weather - it's often raining there!! Keep the photos coming. The more the merrier. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigd Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I thought it was time that I resurrected this thread. Here are a couple of views of Dent. There is 30 years between them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted January 1, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 1, 2015 Andy, lovely to see those two photos. I see the ubiquitous mobile phone mast is making it's presence felt! Thanks for the pics. Very interesting. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peach james Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Jeff, I don't think the mast is a mobile telephone one, although there is definitely a set of cell equipment on the mast. I'd be rather surprised if the mast isn't Railtrack, or the TOC's, and that they are earning a little bit of dosh by leasing space on the mast back to the Telco. Thanks Andy (S) for the photos of Trout Beck Viaduct. I can't get that much distance from my version, I'd be about in the middle of the lego spiral... (I'll go gin up something...probably a green A4 & post it in the Long Marton thread) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted November 9, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 9, 2016 Just dropped by our local discount bookstore (Superbook) and they have heavily discounted copies of Anderson & Fox Stations & Structures of the Settle & Carlisle Railway, 2014 Edition. (£8.99 down from £25.00) Superbook only have a few stores in the South but if it has been remaindered by the publisher it is probably in other discount stores as well.

Thanks for posting this up - an essential source of info. for anyone interested in the S&C. I bought a second-hand copy in 2011 but then purchased the (paperback) 2014 Edition at full-price when it was re-printed (with additions). A "snip" at £8.99.

RMweb Premium Reorte Posted November 11, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 11, 2016 The re-print is with additions? Drat, I've been ignoring it up to now, having managed to get a second-hand copy of the original. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
