the penguin of doom Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Here's a very young Penguin in the cab of 45070 at MC Metals in Glasgow prior to cutting. I had seen her and another three of her classmates laid over at Darlington some weeks previous, so was happy to be able to pay my final respects on this occasion. My favourite Peak happens to be 45041 and forms part of a happy memory of me and dad trainspotting in my home town of Bridlington in the latter half of the 70's. Cheers.

RMweb Gold Strathwood Posted March 25, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 25, 2014 For those into Peaks, watch out for Looking back at Peaks which will be out in the next thirty days. Inside there are over 150 colour photographs, covering all of the named locomotives, livery variations, nameplate designs, from their introduction until they were taken out of service, ie no preserved pics to pad out the book.

kernowtim Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) A few shots from the Great Central diesel gala, March 29 2014 Growing up next to the Midland mainline in Bedfordshire these machines were a particular favourite of mine,45 144 Royal Signals being a common sight on the down binliners past my work carpark in the mornings. The DVD "St pancras suburban" by transport video publishing of Wheathampstead is recommended viewing!! Edited April 3, 2014 by kernowtim 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Louch Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Morning all, good to see a thread covering the 'Peaks'. These locos were a staple diet for me in the 1970's and 80's on the NE/SW line through Brumagem. Great to see the 2 x 45's out last weekend on the GC as well, thanks to all involved in putting this gala on. 45041 on the 'Postal' at Quorn on Sunday morning was a particular highlight! If you hover over the photos the data should appear! Andy 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
