br2975 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 During July 2002, three Cl.37s were stored 'securely' at the Allied Steel & Wire, Castle Works, Cardiff. . ASW had recently gone into administration, and the locos were removed shortly after. . Brian R 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted June 20, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Heavily weathered 37670 and 37401 shunting Gilbraith's yard at Blackburn not long before 670 was repainted into DB Schenker red. Not bad for a stretching over the bridge parapet blind shot! 37610 on 6K05 Carlisle-Crewe when DBS hired it in. Climbing up the 1 in 120 through Langho at about 10mph with 1200 tonnes on the back in very heavy (p*ss*ng down) rain and a good excuse for dodgy photo quality. I wish I had a video camera for this one as it was LOUD. Cheers, Mick Edited June 20, 2013 by newbryford 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivercider Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) I have had a look through my pictures and here are three from a day I spent hunting the beasts in their natural habitat, the Cardiff Valleys. The first two pictures were taken in Trelewis, in the Ocean Colliery complex, I am not sure of the exact railway location. 37255 and 37300 stand at Trelewis with a MGR set, which was loaded at the nearby Deep Navigation colliery with coal for Aberthaw, 24/5/83. 37251 shunts a train of colliery shale loaded in ex iron ore hoppers at Trelewis, it would make the short trip to the Shale Disposal Point at Nelson Bog, 24/5/83. 37162 runs down towards Taffs Well with a train load of coal from Tower Colliery for export via Swansea Docks, 24/5/83 cheers edit = to correct loco number Edited June 20, 2013 by Rivercider 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
br2975 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Earlier in this thread there was mention of the summer dated Rhymney - Cardiff - Fishguard Harbour diagram(s). . Here is 37406 on one such working - Fishguard bound and passing the site of the former Ely (Main Line) station on the outskirts of Cardiff. . It was from this bridge around 1964/65 I began the hobby of 'trainspotting' and can recall my dad pointing out 92220 Evening Star on an up van train, and watched as Cardiff East Dock's pannier 3790 shunted the yard which was located to the right of 37406. . Since then I've watched diesels galore pass this spot, including Classes 03, 08, 14, 20, 25, 31, 33, 35, 37, 40, 42, 43, 45, 46, 47, 50, 52, 56, 57, 60, 66 to name but a few. . And preserved steam is no stranger here either producing over the years the odd King, Castle, Streak, Tornado, Stanier Pacific, Brit, DoG, Spamcan and rebuilt WC, Black Fives, Duck 8 and Pocket Rocket for starters. .
