Fat Controller Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 A rare shot of a 12t Insulated Meat van in the first photo; I never managed to see one that clean. The two Highs next to it seem to have been loaded by throwing the timber at the wagon from some distance. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium uax6 Posted June 30, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) The Dmu in J761 is a 104, and I agree that the furthest vehicle is different, and I thought Metro-Camm too. J682 shows the lovely little finals on the colour light posts. Does anyone make model signals that actually look like these?

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 30, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hi, Dave. Lovely photos of York. In J671, the unit is a class 104, with a Met Cam DMCL leading. The roof, and bodyside profiles and less deep windows are the big clues here. Good to see the Flying Pig as well - might well have worked in on the pick up goods from Market Weighton. With warmest regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNERGE Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Memories of visits to York for today with photos taken in 1965 to 1967. Once again most of these are from half frame slides. It was always an enjoyable trip on the train from Harrogate, especially as we lived only just over ten minutes walk from the station. At the time cleaning locos and stock did not seem to be a priority.

RMweb Premium uax6 Posted June 30, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 30, 2016 It reminds me of a photo in the second volume of LNWR Miscellany. A timber open wagon is loaded so badly with timber that its back has broken. Andy G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted July 1, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 1, 2016 Hi, Dave. A great set of photos today of Teesside and area. The first photo is interesting. I don't know too much about those works, and I wonder if anyone knows a bit more about the engine in the photo, for it is difficult to see much in the way of detail. Saltburn station portico did not change much over the years. With warmest regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted July 1, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 1, 2016 More wonderful shots Dave J1184 - definitely a 46, D186 or D188 perhaps? And J1251 - D1839 - a cracking shot of the Stones boiler port , decent shots are not common and this is the one variant Bachmann have yet to produce...

RMweb Gold russ p Posted July 2, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 2, 2016 The south bank coking car loco is a 440v three phase electric loco , it gets its current 3 conductor rails outside the running rails. There are two loco's and coke cars on the line and the loco and cars are semi permanently coupled with Buckeyes but conventional buffers and draw gear on the outer ends. The line used to be connected to the BSC network and in the past there have been instances where a GEC diesel has been coupled to a coke loco to provide traction and power supply when the power supply has been off for various reasons Shame the plant has now closed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted July 2, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2016 A few photos taken at Micklefield of locos from Peckfield Colliery along with a Class 46 for today. From tomorrow the locations we visit will be a bit more random - some of you may have noticed that in the last few months there have often been clumps of related locations - e.g. several days running of S&C or ECML shots. This dates back to when Mum was in hospital back in January and I prepared six months worth of daily images by simply going through my folders of captioned images in alphabetical order. I'm now going back to my normal system of selecting images at random just a few days in advance. It will also give me a chance to select images from the folders with lots of images in more frequently.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted July 2, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 2, 2016 Hi, Dave. A great set of photos of Micklefield today. I like the portrait photo of Frank in J1380. That engine would make a lovely model. I think I remember seeing some former NER 20 ton, wooden bodied, coal hopper wagons, in one of the sidings back in April, 1977 when I was on an excursion train to Shrewsbury.

david.hill64 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Great shots of Peckfield colliery. This was still steam serviced in the early 70's when I was a student in Leeds. The Wednesday afternoon free time gave an opportunity for trips here - assuming there was no freight to operate on the Middleton railway that day.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted July 3, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) Hi, Dave. I like the photos of Butterly. Some interesting engines to see in the photos, especially the MR 2-4-0. Good to see the photos of Toton and Trent. In C4987 at Trent, with a 47, the carriages are filthy! It would be an interesting weathering job to reproduce that on the models.

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted July 4, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) Ummmmmmm. Toton when one could drive into the car park, don a HV vest and wander around for hours (seemingly). Great days even if it was blue diesel. Phil Edit: forgot to say that this didn't work so well in 1984/5. Think you might be able to guess why. Edited July 4, 2016 by Mallard60022 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
