JeffP Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 A couple more from the 70's/80's now. Both taken at or near Godnow Bridge on the line between Doncaster and Scunthorpe, it's near to crowle for those who don't know. 45033 complete with tinsley snail, heads towards scunthorpe and the Gunhouse bank which it will drag it's load of steel empties up, after enduring the 20mph speed restriction at Keadby swing bridge. Here's 45037 on a similar working, note the repainted sign for the old GCR. I doubt that's still there. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I would like to have seen a 45 go across Trowse swing bridge on the approach to Norwich! When I was with RCE Anglia they were 'banned' - whether this was official or not I am not certain. Oh dear, that makes this photo from Peterborough in Feb 1985 more interesting than I first thought. I have always assumed it was a Birmingham to Norwich working. Maybe 45149 did come off the train at March, because I don't remember a loco change at Peterborough, or I would have a photo of the replacement. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owd Bob Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Great Memories of these classes especially on trips to the West Country, York and Tinsley, just found this topic, a bit of a rare sight the Wigan area in the '70's & '80's but we did get the odd Sunday Trans-Pennine diversions across Ince Moss. Reddish Depot.1981. Ince moss Wigan. 1982 Was a real shock and a nice surprise to see this peak in the shed at SP. in 1982. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

billy_anorak59 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) Couple of mine over the years (apologies - variable quality...) D100 at Peak Rail, Matlock 1994: 122 Plymouth 28th June 1972: D172 'Ixion' Crewe Heritage Centre, erm 'Mid-90s': 44 008 'Penyghent' Chester 21st January 1978: 45 095 'Royal Engineer' York 15th October 1977 (Steam Heat OK!!): 46 045 Liverpool Lime Street February 1974. Now preserved I believe: 46 045 was the first TOPS Numbered loco I ever saw (I think it was renumbered 4 months before) - I was so impressed, I wasted another photo on the number itself...: Cheers.

I remember seeing quite a few namers which got that window surround treatment and White paint etc in their last days. Think it was mainly a Tinsley depot done thing?

The Border Reiver Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Here is a photo I took around 1962 at Carlisle Kingmoor shed with my Box Brownie camera.

RMweb Gold ruggedpeak Posted June 16, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) Been scanning my old slides and found this. As I rarely made notes I have no idea when or where except it will be early-mid 1980's. Zooming in it looks like 45126 at the front and 45125 behind?

I spent most of my time gricing out of Reading but I doubt there would be 2 Peaks parked up there in the mid-80's? Wherever it is looks flat as there are no hills etc behind the terrace houses. I think I have more photos from the same location in my collection, will dig them out as they may give more clues. I don't recall going to Derby during my teens. Wen through York plenty of times and did stay there once or twice so possible. Not sure it helps but these pics were taken at the same location: https://www.flickr.com/photos/182045006@N07/48072656781/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/182045006@N07/48072704778/in/dateposted-public/ Edited June 16, 2019 by ruggedpeak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
