Swifty11 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Some great pictures on display here... Do have a picture of a 56 (56018?) the one that caught fire in France dumped in Warrington which looked a real mess. I'll have a look for it again but can't seem to find the pic for it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted February 10, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 10, 2013 I'll throw my hat in the ring with a selection of Class 50 phots. Scrap line outside laira depot 19th Oct 1990, 50035 closest. Same line up from the opposite end with 50021 closest. Also in the same line was 50050 before it was repreived as D400. Its 24th February 1991 now and a completely different line up of 8 locos await their fate in the same siding this time 50028 closest. Same line up with 50042 closest. 50001 shortly after withdrawal 25th April 1991. 50037 within Laira depot 7th May 1992. 50018 in Exeter Riverside yard in a sorry state 8th May 1992. One that got away 50026 pictured at Medstead & Four Marks shortly before it left the MidHants for restoration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Downendian Posted September 21, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 21, 2013 Evening all, as threatened, heres some of my Dads pics form a holiday down the south west in 74 (i think) & some claytons from a spotting trip north over the border in 75. and the RTC one at Derby Not the best quality but i think it adds a little bit to the shots from the time, would have been nice to have been around then! Great thread so lets see if we can keep this going. Cheers James Many thanks to James and his Dad for the PM correspondence regarding the identities of the hydraulics at Swindon on 27/10/74.The previous day I'd passed the works on my first visit to London. D1038 and D1032 were the two Westerns in the yard awaiting breaking - I thought I'd never seen them, but it would have been impossible not to have done. Two cops nearly 40 years after the event!

Catkins Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Sure that somewhere I have pics of peaks at march whitemoor yard all awaiting their fate, if only i Could find them. I remember those, and the 31's on March depot. Looking at the pictures, it's not just the motive power that has gone, but a vast amount of the land in the photo's.

Hals1967 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I notice that a lot of loco's get a strip cut out low across both cab\nose ends early on in the scrapping process. Anyone know why that is please ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
