Somewhere in that area, yes. Add that cut away buffer beam still with round buffers narrows it down a bit more, usually changed to oval buffers, but then they could be different configurations at each end..... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The position of the lamp brackets rules out a lot more. The dominos are slightly squint, 37184 was like that for a while, but I can't find it with the buffer beam alteration, 37208 is another possibility, both were occasional plough wearers. cheers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted February 1, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 1, 2021 A superb set of photos. I've only scanned through as missed this thread and need more time to study, so will revisit. I was not able to travel extensively on the rail network in the 80's as our local train service was pretty limited, with an hours journey before getting anywhere interesting. It's a real shame that now we have easy and good quality means of taking photographs (digital SLRs etc) with almost unlimited storage, there is little of interest to photograph! 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SouthernBlue80s Posted February 1, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2021 Plenty more to come. That bank at Tinsley. Not particularly good photographs. More for the memories. Cold late afternoon winter sun. A long way from home having caught the bus from Sheffield station. No doubt with one of those plastic sports bags, flairs and a bad haircut. 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I went a couple of times I never took any photos, cheers 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember the walk being a long one but my memory might be playing tricks. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernBlue80s Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 Here are the directions from the locoshed directory. It seems like it would have been a bit complicated to find that no24 on the first visit. I wish I had taken a few more general shots of Sheffield station, the bus or the approach to Tinsley but I was young and loco obsessed. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Strange to think I'm now living less than a 4-mile walk to Tinsley yards, and hardly ever go there. If you're visiting by bus today, the A1 bus from Sheffield or Meadowhall goes right over the bridge across what remains of the yards. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest, is the depot now waste land, or was something built on it? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't actually remember it from my one and only visit in its heyday.
