Ross60103 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Season's greetings to all! May I share Ernie's link on The Waverley Route and Branches, accredited of course? It's a stunner and certainly got my mojo back in the groove! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM Boyes resided in Billingham, Teesside and I think (although I may be mistaken) that CW Davies also lived in the same area. Ernie 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad McCann Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 A few new ones on me there. Barely a month seems to pass before some new hidden gems emerge regarding the route. Inching ever closer to my holy grail of an image taken at Fauldmoor Crossing! D4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply superb. Thanks for alerting us. Can anyone identify the horse boxes here? The furthest one is the LNER standard type, as produced by Parkside, but the other two, which appear to be the same (as each other), I can't identify. https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishswissernie/39050657921/in/album-72157689871212964/lightbox/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said on another thread, it's the edges and corners of pics which can provide so much interesting detail and information. Perhaps the Teris on here can advise if this is where other livestock wagons were loaded/unloaded, not just horseboxes? Alasdair Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alasdair An enlargment from CJB Sanderson/ARPT negative shows cattle wagons in the siding. The old 25inch map shows siding as a loading bank and the Auction Mart was just across the river. ONE TIP, click on the Album list and then select the "Waverley Route". Images are arranged (I hope) in location order starting at Carlisle. The Flickr header sheet shows the photostream as and when I upload them hence the mixture of subjects etc. Ernie Edited December 22, 2017 by Irishswissernie 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Unusual new posting on Railscot, not so many Peaks captured on the MH to KM inter-yard freights, but here's such a thing. https://www.railscot.co.uk/img/62/642/ 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Welly Posted April 17, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 17, 2018 Found this footage on YouTube of FS and an A2 working from Carlisle to Hawick on railtours with a freight at Longtown at the end. Silent but well preserved cine film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIUXjv4Q7qU 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishswissernie Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) I picked this unidentified rather poor negative recently; I think it may be either the north end of Riccarton looking west, or probably Falahill sidings looking east. Tender still lettered LNER but BR number 64608 on loco shedded at St Margarets in 1947 and for a fair while after. Can anyone confirm the location?
