D826 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Prefer both the above as Brush type 4's with D numbers and black backed nameplates, but cracking nonetheless. Where's D1662 (a personal favourite) when you need her ? I do love a bit of nostalgia, (aided by a glass of something) in the evening sun. I do get a lot of pleasure from this website, and knowing theres loads of us with the same interests. Cheers fellow RM Webbers. Here's to you.

RMweb Premium alexross42 Posted May 26, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) Similar to a pic I've just posted on the Class 50's thread, this too was recently found in a stash of scans I'd lost until recently - a photo donated by a family friend who was fortunate to live near Laira Depot and captured this on the triangle curve - I've no date info but is at least 1991.

Just to clarify that isn't the speedway curve (which is just about visible in the background). That is the line between Lipson Junction and Plymouth Friary used by stock going to and from Laira depot via Mount Gould wash plant. Nice photo. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh, thanks for clarifying, something didn't quite feel right as I typed it but still went ahead and labelled it as such on several photos anyway! I shall amend them accordingly.

Owd Bob Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 A real load of bad 47 scanned print pics' from the '80's. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owd Bob Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 A few more bad 'uns that i could'nt post up yesterday, along with the others they are the bottom of a bad pile of old prints. I think the 47 with the white dots above was 47 157 at Bristol T.M. i've no idea what the white stuck on discs were about? And it probably dates to the late '70's rather than the early '80's......the coach in the Warrington pic' seen here is parked up by the passing white roofed 47 was a white Manchester Pullman coach...i think! There's a few more to post yet. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owd Bob Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Cheers russ, this is what happens when females get hold of all your old log books and chuck them in the bin, unless like some prints which have the details written on the back i'm often lost to remember where i've been or what i've seen i'm just starting to realise how much travelling i did, and how much we spotters must have spent on train tickets in trying to kop that elusive 08 or 50! Last lot for today. 059. Eastleigh 4-8-84. 628. Old Oak. 8-9-85. 501. York. 4-4-80. 119. SP. 5-11-82. 456. Man' Vic'. 16-12-82. 511. Old Oak. 10-4-83. Last one is 444. 35 years ago to the day tomorrow, Lostock, Bolton. 5-6-85. i was working on the new detached houses seen above the three coaches and i used to go have my 'Chippy' dinner hour on the bridge sitting in the firms Sherpa van. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold russ p Posted June 4, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 4, 2020 Another great set Bob, interesting to see 501 looking decidedly ropey who would have thought that forty years later its still on the mainline and looking fantastic 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owd Bob Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Still going! That's good news russ, I would'nt mind modelling that one in that tatty look. I lost track of a lot of 47's when they renumbered them, i was'nt ever sure if i had to start to spot them all over again, especially when they made them into 57's 47 510 was the last i needed of the class which i finally saw at Crewe. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
