It was the loss of the branches that made the 14s pointless sadly 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted September 23, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 23, 2021 Good evening, everyone. This evening I have found a photo’, again by Syd Young on Flickr, of Cottingham, on the 25th August, 1979. It shows a double headed train by 37161 and 40119, and the identity of the train would appear to be the 11.12 London Kings Cross to Scarborough, and, apparently 37161 came to the rescue of a failed 40119 at Gilberdyke. 37161 + 40119 - Cottingham by Syd Young, on Flickr And something extra for today. It is a hastely taken photo’ from a train I was on approaching Bridlington station. It shows the redundant track and signalling being broken up prior to being taken away for scrap - unless some signal parts can be used on a preserved line.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted September 27, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 27, 2021 Good evening, everyone. Well, courtesy of Simon-E, on Flickr, we are looking at a photo’ of Market Weighton station in what looks like the Spring of 1964. A four car DMU, composed of two two car class 105’s is coming to a stop on a Hull to York service. The photo’ was taken from the station footbridge. Two months to today, on the 27th November, it will be 61 years ago when the last train ran.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted September 28, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) Good afternoon, everyone. Well, Graham, I wondered who might be the first to notice the error in my calculations, as Captain Mainwaring might have exclaimed in Dad’s Army. Well, this afternoon we are coming up to date, with a photo’ of a class 170 Turbostar, on the 13.08 departure from Beverley to Hull and Sheffield. The unit being 170474. It was taken, by myself, whilst out on a walk, at England Springs crossing to the south of Beverley Station this afternoon. Please note, I was on the correct side of the fence. Best regards, Rob.

eastwestdivide Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 52 minutes ago, Market65 said: class 170 Turbostar Probably the best train type in Northern’s fleet at the moment. I find them more comfortable than the newish 195/331s, and less claustrophobic than the 333s on the Aire Valley with their maddeningly loud on board announcements.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted October 1, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 1, 2021 Good evening, everyone. It’s great to finally be back. Firstly, there’s no answer to that, Boris. So, I’ll get on with tonight’s photo’, which once more is courtesy of Syd Young on Flickr. It shows a bitterly cold and snowy scene from the bitter winter of 1991. Class 47, 47536, “Solario”, is to be seen waiting for the signals, in the snow, on the high-level freight line, near Anlaby Road, with Ferryvans bound for King George Dock on the 9th February, 1991.

RMweb Premium 03060 Posted October 1, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 1, 2021 6 hours ago, Railpassion said: How do I turn photos the right way up? Hello @Railpassion, If they were taken with a camera phone I think the issue is when you are taking the photo itself. I've found that I have to keep an eye on the camera symbol on the phone itself and depending how I am holding the phone at the time depends which way up the image is stored, sometimes I have to turn the phone around to get the camera icon to be the correct way up and not upside down. I might be wrong about this but that's what I've found when taking some of my own photos. Regards, Ian. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming taken on the phone there is probably access to a previewer/editor. Those should have a rotate option, assuming yes select 180deg if allowed or do 90deg twice. As others have said the cause is taking the photo with the phone upside down. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
