JeffP Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I've recently been, by a friend, given a load of old negatives. I was led to believe that they were mostly quite recent, at least blue diesel. My friend has no scanner so gave them me and asked me to scan them for him. Today I got round to starting. I think I may have a treasure trove. Here's the first: Doncaster, and 36A B1 61326 waits in platform 3, at the head of a train for the south, 1963 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flapland Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Very nice start I have to say. Apart from the Mk1 and Gresley coaches can anyone work out what the last two are. I am no expert but they don't appear to be Mk1's or Gresley so wonder if Stanier or something else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium uax6 Posted January 25, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 25, 2017 The last two is an articulated pair, not sure what types, but I would say still Gresleys... That photo looks strangely familiar somehow. I'm sure I've seen something like it before, in an article about passenger train operations, but can't think where or when! I'm looking forward to seeing more of these shots! Andy G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffP Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Thanks for the comments. I've now scanned about three quarters of what is there, some of the photos are of the man's family, car etc, so those are stored separately. For today, we are still at Doncaster, 1963. Deltic (later class 55) D9008, as yet unnamed, thunders north on the down main with a Pullman working. Edited: it's on the down main, of course, not the up. Sorry.

JeffP Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Doncaster 1963, and B1 61129 waits at platform 3 with a southbound train. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Excellent photos. Thanks for sharing. My thoughts are that maybe 61326 is about to work a day trip to the East Coast, given the motley collection of only 7 coaches. 61129 is more interesting because the loco sports class 4 fitted goods lamps. The non-vestibule vehicle behind the loco looks like E43142 which I think was a Kings Cross suburban vehicle; and maybe this is some form of ECS working to the London area.

JeffP Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 The new order at Doncaster, 1963, and southbound E-E type 4, (later class 40), waits with an up train. The passengers on the platform and the railway staff all seem interested, there appears to be a photographer with some professional looking gear too. The loco APPEARS to be D270 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Langley Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Appears to be the same rake of Mk1 SUBs behind the class 40 as behind 61129 in post #6. Some sort of running in turn perhaps, rather than an ECS heading south? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Yes, I think you are right. The stock seems to be the same (or a remarkable coincidence). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffP Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Bit of a panic yesterday when, half way through the day, my desktop decided to hang itself, and after a few minutes, suddenly gave me a screen with background photo...but NO ICONS! And that was all she wrote........... Of course, all the new photos are on there but not yet backed up Thankfully, a friend of my eldest came round, set it first off to backup everything and then to do some sort of cleanup and we are working again this morning. Phew. So, on to today. Two shots of A4 60006 Sir Ralph Wedgewood as she rolls south on what appears to be a goods train. She is carrying a parcels, freight, or livestock headcode, all fitted and at this time was still allocated the 34A Kings Cross...but that was soon to change, some of her sister locos were already withdrawn.

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted January 28, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 28, 2017 Wow Jeff....that A4 looks like its on Cemflos! http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/cemflo Do you know the date of that shot? Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Fitness Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Yes, I think you are right. The stock seems to be the same (or a remarkable coincidence). Possibly just an engine change captured on film? The Thompson coach in the adjacent platform looks the same too.. JF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffP Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Wow Jeff....that A4 looks like its on Cemflos! http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/cemflo Do you know the date of that shot? Phil As far as I know, 1963, Phil, we assume pre-March, since all shots appear to have been taken on the same day and the first shot of the B1 on this series shows it pre-works visit. I went into the works in march that year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffP Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Today's offering is Doncaster 1963 again, and single-chimneyed V2 60872 is on an up working with some quite old stock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffP Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 First the bad news: my computer crashed big time over the weekend and has had to have a wipe and reinstallation of the o/s...now Windows 10. The good news is that I had backed up all my photos, documents etc. I have only just got it back and need to re-install them, so please bear with me.

JeffP Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 And the more bad news......the file containing all the photos, which took me hours on Photoshop to clean up and three days to scan in before that, ...hasn't transferred over. So there will now be an interlude until I can start it all again..........sigh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JF Maybe, but the engine change seems to have moved the stock a loco length down the platform. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
