Southernman46 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Martin should like this, with not a train in sight. Nice - my old PW patch at Worting Jn - that Up Main could do with a tamp ................ Bus enthusiasts will doubtless identify this railway location, where I was earlier this morning. Pretty rubbish light though - not much one can do with dull but dry conditions. DSC07216.JPG [/quote Scania's on the 111 - Hampton LX - nice !

Southernman46 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Goodness knows where and when I took this one. Southern mainline, though, with a BB or MN fast approaching with what looks may be Pullmans This is a long shot but as it was once my PW area and I'm familiar with the "view" - I think that's Hook Heath (St John's) on the western approach to Woking. The house & brick hut are very distinctive - the dark line in the background being the footbridge between St John Lye and Hook Heath golf club. The extract from the 1934 OS map belowsort of backs up the building locations Woking St Johns - Extract from the 1934 OS map.docx The train is on the Up Slow heading towards Waterloo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peppercorn Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 There's a Peak approaching, No. 45127 in fact. Does anyone know where this is, as I can't remember. I've just found this neg and several others (from which no photos were made) taken in, I think, 1981. I didn't have photos taken at the time as i couldn't afford it; film was cheap (ish) but processing wasn't. Wonderful track layout in the foreground. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peppercorn Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Thanks, Mike, for confirming the location - here's 45127 coming in to the station. Sadly - and deeply, deeply worrying - I simply can't remember being at York to take these photos 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted December 30, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Here are a few photos where the trains aren't hogging the whole shot! The first is an unidentified 313 on a Brighton to Seaford service approaching Bishopstone station - 18.9.2015. The second is Southern Railway 377 114 on the 10:58 Seaford to Brighton approaching Newhaven - 28.11.2015 We only get 2x 377s on Brighton & Hove Albion FC home match days. They run between Brighton & Seaford calling at Falmer, where the Seagulls have their Amex stadium. The rest of the time we get 3-coach 313s. The third is the first Seaford 150 special with 70013 Oliver Cromwell near Tidemills halt - 7.6.2014 The fourth I can't claim to have taken. It is thought to be by A.H.Malan. It was found with two others in a house in north Somerset and given to my father. One of the others shows Wigmore Castle emerging from Box Tunnel, so it is thought that the other two are in the same area. They have been dated to c1892. The fifth is an unidentified DMU below Conwy Castle in 1992. No.six is Island Line no. 006 with Ryde in the background, in 2004 The seventh was taken train to train on the East Coastway line as it leaves Brighton, in 2013.

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted January 3, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) Do show us the others These complete the set. The two photos are scans of the original prints. These were given (not gifted!) to NRM York, who must have agreed with my father's judgement, that they were by The Reverend A.H.Malan, because they sent them to the National Archive, which holds the publicly owned body of his work, it seems. The sepia document shows the notes on the back of the Wigmore Castle print. The final document shows my father's rationale for dating that photo to 1893.

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted January 4, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) A few more of Dad's photos of trains with a bit of landscape around them - generally not his style - he often would trim prints or negatives to take out scenery and sometimes even the passenger or goods stock the loco was hauling! Although the captions generally speak for themselves and are as much information as I have, it is worth noting that the St.Margaret's photo is the only one that I have found in Dad's albums or negatives of a Southern EMU. His last post as a parish priest was at St.Margaret's, just across the Thames from Richmond. Edited January 4, 2016 by phil_sutters 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted January 12, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) One I came across in passing - a Southern 313 class parked in Newhaven's unused, but, I believe, not formally closed, Marine Station, with the houses on the far side of the harbour, providing the backdrop. Don't take any notice of my logos and excessive framing - it was just a phase I was going through! Edited January 12, 2016 by phil_sutters 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike2steam Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 A few pics from recent-ish trips. During a visit to Cathar Castles in the Languedoc region of southern France, we called in to have a ride on the 'Red Train', that starts from Axat. Train passes hotel boat in the Rhine Gorge. Passing place halfway up the Flam (Flom) in Norway. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
