Steadfast Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Having had a solid diet of GM locos for the last year the 60 was a welcome change today! My driver was happy with it too. Properly built, and as you say the interior is a nice throwback, as well as being quiet and comfortable too Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 4630 Posted April 15, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 15, 2019 I'd have preferred to have framed this slightly differently, but unfortunately there were lots of crowd control barriers in the way at the time of my visit - it was during the Cheltenham Festival. Still, it's a splendid statue IMHO and far more imposing than the statue of Sir Nigel Gresley at Kings Cross. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wagons were well battered, I guess after a few years of regular (ab)use on the scrap metal circuit. The lowish angle and direction of the sun light has also helped to emphasise the deformation and rust, of course.

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted September 4, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 4, 2019 I am not sure how 'creative' this photo of Dad's is, but it is fairly atmospheric. I found it among non-railway photos, while having a sort out. I don't think that I have come across it in Dad's albums or uploaded before. It is at the north end of the up platform at Highbridge, with its distinctive signals. I think it is of a Hall, but the medium-sized GWR 4-6-0s are a bit too similar for me. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted November 9, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) Reading's over-bridge- Perhaps a bit too arty for here - but I am fascinated by the shapes with the added interest of being on the move at the same time. Mind you the ground level scope for photography has been significantly 'b'ed up by the heavy duty wiring.
