  1. Which begs the question, if they were so desperate to get one down there why didnt they use it on the Santa specials?

    I was hoping get it in but it was the 47 and 33 on the train with the 45 ticking over in the other platform, I also missed it at the running day because I was working.

    Pass, I imagine there must have been reasons, I was disapointed myself with the performance of the 45 on the Sunday I was behind it, never broke into a sweat with the 33 doing all the work.

    Also, why was the event, which was planned months ahead, so poorly marketed, both days should have been heaving, a chance to bash three classic diesels on a line with a decent speed limit.

  2. Some super pictures on this thread, indeed on the whole site. It has re-ignited my love of railways and made me get out with my camera after not taking any railway pics for twenty odd years.

    Here`s one from 1993, at the NRM. I liked the way the highlights ran along the engine.

  3. Here`s another from Crediton 47575, Oddly enough, I saw a picture of the same loco, running light engine through Crediton, (taken from a different angle, but presumably on the same day), for sale on e-bay. I couldn't see myself in the other picture though. Odd, because I don't recall seeing anyone else on the platform that day.

  4. Hi Gasky, welcome to RMWeb.

     

    I like the shot of the peak on an up Speedlink at St Davids, looking on Flickr 45009 45048 and 45150 are three I can find with a depot sticker,

    but none of the photos I can find have the distinctive scar or chip seen in the paintwork on your shot,

     

    cheers 

    I can`t see an ETH box, so i don`t think it could be 45150, 048 seems to ring a bell mind.

  5. No, no flicr account, although maybe in the future. sadly a lot of my pictures from the eighties have not survived the intervening decades. and there was a good twenty odd years when I stopped taking pictures of railways. However i shall post what i have for any who are interested, and if the topic is relevent. I have started to take railway pics again, the difference in style after twenty odd years is remarkable.  Anyhow, here is 50013, on one of the first 50 ventures to Waterloo.
