JeffP Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Peaks at night. As a youth I travelled by train from Scunthorpe to Birmingham New Street regularly. Sunday nights out of Sheffield with a 45/0 or a 46 on. I remember one night being held at signals south of Sheffield for about an hour. The windy night, with the sodium lights in the carriage fixings swinging in the wind, and the sound and smell of the Sulzer on the front stay with me now, 50 years later. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Peaks at night (episode 3). Leicester and Doncaster around 1982-3: I should probably fix the colours up a bit on the first one. Think I was experimenting with filters for artificial light. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poor Old Bruce Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 On 26/04/2021 at 08:49, Poor Old Bruce said: Another bump. A bit of something to make you think. Do any of you recognise the location of this piccy of 45116, taken in 1983? It may be obvious, it may not. As nobody seems to be offering a location, I'll tell you that it is the 'Five Arches' bridge between Derby station and Derby Junction. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizz Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) Apologies if I have posted these here before and for the quality as they are now photos of photos, but I do have the originals. East Sussex, this is the Deep South, Central Division, this is about as exotic as it gets..... Copies of these photos were kindly given to me. They were taken by an old Sussex Railwayman. gentleman and good friend, now sadly passed away, Colin Packam. D41, In BR Rail Blue livery, dumped at Pinwell Lane, Lewes, failed on an inter regional service from Newhaven to the Midland region. Later the Midland sent a BR Class 25 to recover this loco and then they sent another BR Class 45 to haul the the train back to the midland. Further to the above....Derby Sulzer’s page shows this. Apologies for the cut and paste, rather than a link, flipping ipad... This was 1969, the Class 45 was numbered D41. Later it was to be renumbered 45147 under the TOPS numbering system. An account of the events from DerbySulzers excellent website. As we know fate was not kind to 45147 as on December 4th 1984 it was involved in an appalling crash at Eccles, Greater Manchester. Involving a collision with an oil tank train, which ignited an led to a huge fire. Luckily the M602 motorway was right next to the track so the emergency services got there very quickly. I remember the bbc news at the time. The rescue loco for D41’s train was an unidentified in BR Green sent down from the Midland, seen as it passes Lewes on the UP Main. Back then it was still a semaphore strong hold. Edited May 9, 2021 by Grizz 12 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

w124bob Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Whole album of class 46 images here with many pre TOPS locos, I note several locos with dual brakes and nearly all original fittings. Full set of sand boxes, open boiler steps, include extra bogie ones. https://www.flickr.com/photos/67444577@N02/albums/72157628878131355 Interesting that I can only find one class 45 in the same condition D53, see below page 3. https://www.flickr.com/photos/67444577@N02/albums/72157628880435119/page1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I'm estimating at least 4 Peaks stabled, must be a Sunday and an interesting 104/101 lash up as well. Were the Peaks common on the aggregate traffic back then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
