br2975 5,994 Posted June 12, 2013 My first ever 'railway' photograph - taken circa 1964/65 at Waterhall Jct. . My most recent 'railway' photograph taken less than a mile away at Ely (Main Line) 1:00pm today. . Say something about the longevity of the design. .

br2975 5,994 Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) The one timetabled service that served more than the just the Rhymney Valley. . 2V07 06:59 Rhymney - Radyr (run around) then 5V07 Radyr - Canton ECS. . 37425 does the honours, calling at Ninian Park on 3rd. May 2005. (This stop was more operational than profitable, as it picked up the Canton shunter who undertook the run-around coupling and uncoupling at Radyr) . Now, the loco has gone, loco-hauled services in the valleys are history, and Ninian Park seen in the background is a housing estate. .

Rivercider 8,933 Posted June 13, 2013 To emphasise the lengths we went to, to snap 'six-eighters' doing what they were intended to do .... Very nice and atmospheric, a class 37 in its natural habitat. I still think a 37 looks best in blue, at the front of a coal train. Several of my photo trips were made to South Wales, if I had planned a day out, and it rained, I still tried to make the best of it, cheers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

br2975 5,994 Posted June 14, 2013 Wasn't there a 37 hauled Rhymney to Fishguard service in the late 1990s? Yes, there was a Rhymney - Fishguard Harbour for a couple of years, summer dated. . One year it was a Cl.50 duty - another year a Cl.37 diagram. . There have also been Rhymney - Cardiff - Buith Road workings in connection with The Royal Welsh Show at Llanelwedd, Builth Wells. The train ran on ECS to Llan'dod to lay over. . Here's 37411 on one of its' first outings after a 'heritage'repaint. It's on one of the evening Cardiff - Rhymney trains, at Cardiff Queen St. 10th May 2005. . Brian R 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian R Brian, The roof might have been rotting, but not as badly as that stop block at the end of the short siding that was the 'up' end of the loop at CBJ! You ought to post the ones of the train coming up the line from the other direction which you pm'd to me some time ago. Regards Richard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
65179 389 Posted June 14, 2013 Here's 37411 on one of its' first outings after a 'heritage'repaint. It's on one of the evening Cardiff - Rhymney trains, at Cardiff Queen St. 10th May 2005. That brings back a few memories (mostly of me failing to get a decent photo of these trains as they headed uphill through Roath/Cathays. 37411 was a familiar sight in my first years in Cardiff. Sad to see how it looks now (see post 255 in Big Jim's thread): http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/70783-jims-down-by-the-tracks-with-colas-thread/page-11&do=findComment&comment=1069548 Here's my poor effort of a 37-hauled Rhymney service in the last few weeks of the loco-hauled services: Simon 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
