I think this one is new to the thread... Wye (Kent) station in 1969 by Tom Burnham, on Flickr Porcy

B*gg*r! I used to attend nearly all the talks until I had to give up driving. Wish I'd known. I'd have tried firing up the old legs. I must dig out his e mail. Thanks Arp P

The new stuff being the result of an out of control Class 47 and it's train demolishing the original box. I've got some pics of the resulting clear up. Must dig em out. Unfortunately the signalman didn't survive the impact. Porcy

Thanks. That's a T shirt I already have... BUT there is a man in Dublin.... that may just have the answer??? P

I've only got three things to say to that… 1) You could have resisted harder… 2) Learn to use the reply button properly… 3a) 3b) Try your hand at deciphering this. I hope you can do a bit better than yesterday’s effort… of which you now should have a large image in your inbox. I reckon, “Newcastle Quay to Trafalgar”. Porcy

Add check out how much more disressed the planking is on the inside as opposed to the outside of the 13t open. Crying out to be modelled. And judging by the flat topped electrification coach over in the distance it'll not be long before the wires are up. See Mr. Carrolls photo back on page 32 of the thread. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/36891-16t-minerals/page-32&do=findComment&comment=804599 Porcy

Photographs on the old Foropic site by Murray Liston showed Sentinel 10077 was in clean Green livery with yellow buffer beams when working at Raisby Quarry, Coxhoe in September 1980. It also had yellow axle box covers but not the dinner plate size as on the Hornby model. At this time it didn’t carry the lining or the Tarmac branding. The lining and branding may have come later with Tarmac eventually taking over operations at Raisby Quarry. Some of the WRLPG lads that are on the forum may be able to answer more accurately as I think the loco now resides on the Weardale Railway. Porcy. Doh! Just read the post at the top of this page.

Can't remember if we've had this one before? 4200 Class 2-8-0T 5209 pushing empty coal wagons. Plenty of detail if you zoom to the original size. http://www.flickr.com/photos/64215236@N03/6849379953/ Porcy

I've partied in Fair Isle many a time. Then jogged round the old pit heap to get rid of the fuzz... P

Tiz all ready being built in EM. http://southpelawem.blogspot.co.uk/ Most of the team are on this forum. It was suggested (In Jest) they build it in P4 so it could be linked to Blackgill and have an allmighty running session... P

It was less than two hours ago that Duncan (Axlebox) and I were saying what a great advert for Railway Modelling Black Gill was. (We do have to admit to a little bias of course) That phot of yours (9F passing loco shed) above your dad’s workbench just cries out Tyne Dock Consett. It could almost be Doug Hardys well known photograph of a 9F coming into Pelton Station. Anyhow we didn’t break anything on Tuesday… I think. So, here are two phots you should recognise. Hard to spot the level X-ng in one of them. Should bring back a few memories though. Tenuous links I know but only a few hundred yard from the Consett Tyne Dock line. Real and imaginary… Apologies if you’ve seen them before… Columbia 11 by Sunderland Public Libraries, on Flickr Brady Square - Andersons Stores 2 by Sunderland Public Libraries, on Flickr Porcy

And some tipplers thrown in for good measure... 16T Mineral MCV B552155, Lawrence Hill Yard, Bristol. by Bristol RE, on Flickr Iron Ore Tipplers (ZKO) DB387232, and DB382335, over Whitby Road, Bristol. by Bristol RE, on Flickr Porcy

It'll be running with the Breakdown crane. Mess or Tool Van. I think I read somewhere it had a modified open end and housed some hydraulic re-railing equipment. Probably came from York but equally it could be fron Tees-side. Edit. On a second look it's not the coach that housed the Hydraulic Equipment. It doesn't appear to be a NER loco on it neither so the crane may not be from York Or T-side... P

I used to see those bogie container wagons (Cobra Coke) a couple of time a week on the ECML while travelling to school. Class 45 or 46 hauled if my memory serves. Any way... A few more 16 tonners from 1959. I think the derailed train was EE type 4 hauled.

You're in from work then... and the link to those hardy folk trying to melt some 16 tonners??? P Edit: you beat me to it...

Superpower for that single 3 planker (and brake van)... Superb. Porcy

Quite a few interesting pics of 16 tonners amongst that chaps collection. I was quite taken with this one. P PL572 by The Plastic Mac, on Flickr

Just had this link passed onto me by a "lurker"... You don't often see a 16 tonner from that angle... http://www.edinphoto.org.uk/0_edin_t/0_edinburgh_transport_-_where_is_it_accident.htm P

Three more for the pot… http://flic.kr/p/bcmxUn http://flic.kr/p/bcmybT http://flic.kr/p/bcmyqD P

I just knew you would come up with the goods... P

Complete with Beer Trailer secured on it's wagon in the background... Super Porcy

It has to be better than living in this other Austrian Village... http://www.lipstickalley.com/f50/small-town-wants-change-f-cking-name-388970/ Porcy

That didn't take long... P

And that looks like a M II Second coupled to a Thompson Brake bringing up the rear... Porcy
