stewartingram Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Must have been the Fenland Alps. We have them near Chatteris. Usually caused by a mole in the roadside fields. They tend to be a tad larger than the normal hills which are generally referred to by their common name of Cats Eyes and located in the middle of the road.

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted January 31, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2020 Time for the B1 in the bay to head for Grimsby. A V2 has appeared at the excursion platform with ECS, but we didn't manage to get a shot of its arrival. Another B1 then arrives. It has come from Grimsby, and this being Friday, it has a considerably larger load, and will carry on to Kings Cross. I think I may finally be getting to grips with those lattices. 34 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted January 31, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2020 61098 waiting time tonight. And a look at the stock behind the tender, which will form the 1100am SO KX-Skegness. Mainly TSOs, all MK1 if the official formation was adhered to. I don't have eight loose cars, so some have to be Gresleys. The FK is the surprising inclusion. I wouldn't have thought Skeggy was destination of choice for the well heeled. 28 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium great northern Posted February 1, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 1, 2020 Some trains have run, some photos have been taken, and I now have insurance against the gloom when it returns. I have also belatedly remembered that I glued up some Roco couplings a while back, and test run a couple of coaches with them in place. So far, no problems, and the experiment will continue. As with Bachmann's rigid coupling, the more there are, the more unwieldy they will become, but this is certainly worth more testing. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi great northern The last photo look nice, I love those type of photos that you try to put the camera in a awkward position, just to get a great photo, and I think that is one of those type of photos, and because it also takes them from a Man's/Woman's Eye prospective with it being lower down to, makes it gives it that more of a real look to the photo.

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted February 2, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2020 One more look at the D16 as it passes under the bridge. Lots happening at the other end. Silver Fox is on its way, while Deltic roars in with its usual afternoon trip from Doncaster and Hull. and before that nice Mr Mortimore says anything, I still can't find Deltic's front end appendages, but at least it does have two lamps. 26 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted February 2, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2020 Very bright, this Deltic thingy, isn't it? and I toned it down a bit too. Meanwhile, just a short while later, our man on Spital Bridge pressed the shutter too. Early golf tomorrow, so off to bed soon. 28 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southend Central was the place to see the trains .Only Soul-less electrics at Victoria, when I used to go although it must have been a great place in the days of B12’s and B17’s on the Liverpool St Semi fasts . The earliest train rides I can remember were on the LTSR and the first cab I ever went in was what I now know to be a LMS Class4 tank at Southend although aged about 4 at the time it was quite a scary experience. As I got older I had some great memories at the end steam of both standard and LMS class 4 tanks hammering through West Horndon at 80m.p.h with 11 on when they were non stop between Leigh and Upminster, back in the days before the world went mad and you were still allowed to stick your head out the window ! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
