Old Gringo has just pointed this thread out to me, fantastic stuff. Middle photo, who's not weathered their coal wagon then, weathering on the loco possibly a little heavy handed.

Middle photo, who's not weathered their coal wagon then, weathering on the loco possibly a little heavy handed. Andy Prototype for everything!! Jesting aside these are fabulous ! photos for anyone wanting to take their austerity to the next level. Start with the cab rear details and size of coal ( not a mechanical stoker). The weathering is about right, maybe a tad light) anything cleaner was recently ex works or spent significant hours on standby. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's begging to be a diorama so much I almost want to switch from current projects. 7 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

doilum Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Excellent. A real mix of wagons just like Wheldale and Fryston. Some collieries seemed to almost standardise on one or two types whilst others just seem to have collected them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often looked out for it on my occasional trips along the line between Wolverhampton and Stafford, but never got lucky. The only fireless I saw working was the one at Ardrossan.

I only spotted it once from a train on the Grand Junction. There and Penkridge sidings for Littleton Colliery were regular places to look out for. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold russ p Posted January 15, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 15, 2021 Great pictures, but are they really 80s? I can't remember mass steam at a location on tyneside back then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Jeremy Cumberland Posted January 15, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 15, 2021 No. 59, which from other sources I see is VF 5300/1945 isn't listed in my 1976 Industrial Locomotives book at all, at least, not under NCB or Tyne and Wear, The pannier tank appears to be Kitson 2509/1883, NCB No 41, which was at Tanfield in 1976 and I think is now at the North Tyneside Steam Railway. My guess is that the photos are a decade out. I would not like to guess what the third locomotive is, although the cab and curved handrail look distinctive enough. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
