cctransuk Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Having just read this fascinating thread from start to finish, thought I'd post this. Wonder how much it went for? https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/great-central/catalogue-id-great-10001/lot-31f9a10e-ec17-4c16-adee-a60900e3b004 It was dug up in a pub garden, I believe.

And equally interesting, four years after the war ended, to see the driver's side window still with the anti-blast plating in place. It would suggest that it was only ever operated at the same end of the train, coupled with a normal electric unit, rather than on its own. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold D9020 Nimbus Posted July 28, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 28, 2021 Are you sure it is anti-blast plating? I've read in the past that the driver's window was obstructed so he would have to stand… 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took a bit of persuasion to get going but given that it had never run before and the limitations of Duncans' test track I was happy with it. I'll stick it on the rolling road for a couple of hours at some point. It ran well enough that, before I left, I bought the turnouts and track that I need for the Newcastle Quayside layout I've been planning 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will as the ES1 only went as far as the yard and not out on to the Quayside itself. An 03 would also be useful depending on what year I decide to base the layout on. Still debating what colour to paint it - the green loves very nice but I'm a bit worried about the lining so I might bottle it and go for the black scheme... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaziii Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Hello everyone! I am currently in the process of researching the N.E.R. Tyneside clerestory electrics so that I may build a rake of them (either 3D printed or brass etched), but I am having some great difficulties locating any reference material. Because I am in the States, it's difficult for me to schedule visits to archives, so that limits my scope of research. The internet does not have many photos or drawings of them, and a lot of the pictures and links posted here no longer work. If anyone has references they are able to share (i.e. diagrams, component drawings, photos, even videos if possible!), please feel free to add them to the thread. Cheers, Julien. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trestrol Posted Saturday at 08:01 Share Posted Saturday at 08:01 (edited) See if you can get a copy of "North Eastern electrics: The History of the Tyneside electric passenger services 1904-1967 by Ken Hoole by Oakwood Press. It will be out of print but if you can obtain a copy it's a good start. Don't pay the silly Amazon price £80!?!? There are book sellers with it at sensible prices.
