RMweb Gold DaveF Posted January 22, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 22, 2013 I've added a few photos around Tring and around Lichfield taken in 1976. They can be found at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidwf2009/collections/72157626364037172/ (they can also be accessed at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidwf2009/collections/72157626176329643/ ) A couple of samples: I do know about the spelling mistake in one of the captions. More sets to follow fairly soon, all being well. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kazmierczak Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Illustrates how attractive the AM10s were in their original overall rail blue. Their riding could be described as "lively" at times though..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold DaveF Posted February 8, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 8, 2013 Yesterday (7th) I was in Newcastle for a visit to the Dental Hospital, during the day I went to have a look at the railway from the roof of the Keep. The images are at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidwf2009/collections/72157626192203459/ in the Collection "Newcastle from 2012".

Billy louth Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Morning All, Forgive the intrusion on to a topic close to my modelling heart, can anyone ID the van at the rear of the 114 please? Is it a Horse box? Were there more than one attached sometimes do you think? Thanks, Billy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwealleans Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 It's an ex-LNER long CCT of the type Parkside make. I find it hard to see that a DMU could manage more than one of those, though I stand to be corrected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy louth Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Gentlemen, As ever my thanks, another interesting van to add to Project Louth. So how did 'Deeping St James' become 'St James Deeping' back in the day? Billy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair Modeller Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Looking at a map of the area, most of the Deepings seem better served by Peakirk. Maybe it was to emphasise that St James Deeping was only meant to serve Deeping St James itself. Suffixes like "St James" are normally used to distinguish one of several stations in a town or city, rather than the name of a place itself. Maybe the proper name of the village just went against railway logic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lurker Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Looking at a map of the area, most of the Deepings seem better served by Peakirk.

Suffixes like "St James" are normally used to distinguish one of several stations in a town or city, rather than the name of a place itself. Maybe the proper name of the village just went against railway logic. In cities you are correct - but in the countryside villages often have composite names to indicate different facets of the area - for example if a particular village was owned by a specific family estate or evena church estate it might take that family name or a name referencing it to the church to distinguish it from other villages in the area with similar or identical name. Likewise a geographical feature might be appended. In this case Deeping St James would almost certainly have been isolated from the Deeping where the market was held (Market Deeping) and so on. Other examples might be Kibworth Beauchamp and Kibworth Harcourt in Leicestershire (see Michael Wood's recent book based on his TV series about the history of England seen through one place). A geographical example might be St Mary-in-the Marsh and St Mary's Bay in Romney Marsh. This doesn't solve why the railway decided to reverse the name for the signal box of course....

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted July 16, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 16, 2013 My impression is that parts of East Anglia are full of places with a sainted suffix. Capel St Mary and Horsham St Faith come to mind, and I'm sure there are plenty of others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenman Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 My impression is that parts of East Anglia are full of places with a sainted suffix. Capel St Mary and Horsham St Faith come to mind, and I'm sure there are plenty of others. There are loads of examples - here are some from within a few miles of each other in West Norfolk: - Walpole St Peter and Walpole St Andrew (both named after the family of the first Prime Minister, a Norfolk man); - Terrington St Clement and Terrington St John (the former an ex-M&GN station); - Tilney All Saints and Tilney St Lawrence; and, the most impressive of them all: - Wiggenhall St Germans, Wiggenhall St Mary Magdalen, Wiggenhall St Peter and Wiggenhall St Mary the Virgin (the 2nd of these is on the Magdalen Road after which the station was named, before reverting to Watlington).

Will check tomorrow. Having looked at both images together I'd say it is the same box, the brickwork is the same, as are barge boards etc. The ventilator or whatever at the top has gone, as has the walkway for cleaning the windows and new lights have been added.

RMweb Gold DaveF Posted July 28, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 28, 2013 I've just come across a couple of dad's earlycolour slides at Tetbury. As usual they are also on flickr, in the Great Western Miscellany set. Tetbury AC Cars railbus W79978 August 59 J012 Tetbury 16xx 1664 running round August 1963 J060 This was replacing a railbus as it was the end of term at the local boarding school. As the loco ran round it removed a lot of the beading from the Gresley coach as the train was just too near the point. Both were taken on the way to family holidays in Devon, Dad didn't take any other photos of the station. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
