South of 1E Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) 27042 and 27059 at Gourock with the enjoyable "Fair Maid of Perth" tour on August 9th 1986. There were vast crowds lining both banks of the Clyde that afternoon which some thought was to see these fine "tip tops" , the Royal yacht Brittania passing was perhaps the reason for said crowds!

carlw Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Yes please Carl!!! I'd never seen a Trainload Construction Class 47 hauling a DBSO Push-Pull set. Was it just an ECS from Cowlairs? or had they ran out of 47/7's that day and something else hauled it out to Edinburgh? I think it worked the service north to Aberdeen and this was the return working. Carl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinzaC55 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 26035 slows down to a stop at Invershin on 23.11.81. The station was (I think it still is?) a roofless shell and I don't think it even had any lights on the platform. 26035 at Invershin (08.28 Inverness) 23.11.81 par PinzaC55, on ipernity 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

60021 Pen-y-Ghent Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 26030 (I think) obviously not long out of works, possibly September 1981, running along the shores of Loch Carron near Plockton heading towards Kyle of Localsh. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waverley47708 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Really enjoy this topic, sadly I have very few photos to contribute, hoping the above will kick start a flurry of new photos for us all to enjoy..... The photo of the class 20s at Dunfermline reminds me of my school days watching these trains climbing the bank at Touch on their way to Longannet. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium keefer Posted September 30, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 30, 2016 Nice topical pic of 'Jimmy Shand' there. When the loco was de-named in 1996, one of the nameplates was mounted on wood and presented to the man himself. This was auctioned 2 weeks ago as part of his collection, put up for sale by his son Jimmy Jr. Estimated at £1500-2000, it went for £1100. http://www.mctears.co.uk/auctions/lot.aspx?id=ac03555a-6096-4cd0-9cdc-cd9468cf43cb&page=2&referrer=search&search=shand Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOCJACOB Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Since I was at Edinburgh University 1980 to 1986 allegedly studying medicine there may be a few images lurking about? The selection here includes 37 crossing at Ardlui (feeling was an SRPS tour to Mallaig), 246 Morayshire on Santa Trips round Suburban in Edinburgh? and Green Arrow and Evening Star double heading a rail tour at Saughton Junction (Jenners Depository behind photographer) Then 2 signal boxes that have lost since gone.

DOCJACOB Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) even in 80's pre-grouping stuff could be found. ex CR Distant at Coupar Angus and ex HR at Inverness Amazing whats turned up in a box of loose images!

DOCJACOB Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 A few more loose images from the box. We have a few images taken pre closure of the Forfar to Stanley Junction. One is certainly taken at Coupar Angus and feel the others are Forfar? Next its Kyle of Lochalsh I seem to remember an ex SR Brake van was in the sidings and that was more interesting? Cant find the image though. Last one ,I think, is one of the Stirling signal boxes but it has nothing on the back to help. If so its circa 1985 when I should have been doing Geriatrics attachment rather than bunking off to the station! 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsknowe and Kirknewton I have just spent the last few hours drooling over the variety of pictures contained in this thread. Please keep them coming. On a point of detail, it seems clear to me that DOCJACOB enjoyed his student days as appears to struggle to recall his time on the West Highland line!. I say this as I am pretty certain that the 37 is at Garelochead heading south and not Ardlui. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
