Thanks for that! It makes sense. I will correct them a.s.a.p. Shame they are so over-exposed as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Trev52A Posted May 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 20, 2020 This picture was a bit too light to be projected as a colour slide, but with digital scanning it is much more presentable, so it was worth the 45 year wait - I'm glad I didn't just bin it at the time! 50030 approaching Saltash from the west on 28th May 1975 Trevor 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Trev52A Posted May 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2020 I'm not sure if this was already uploaded umpteen pages back, but this is the next shot on the film of 50030 seen in my previous post, as it crosses into Devon on 25th May 1975. The sky looks very different which is probably due to me overdoing the darkening down of the long-distance shot when I tried to rescue it.

Interesting to see the road bridge looking so new. Way before it got its modified deck. Don’t know if it’s the light but the royal Albert bridge looks like it’s painted in a darker shade of gray at this time compare to present. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you mention it, the bridge doesn't look right - I think it's too pink! A bit off topic on a Class 50 thread but here are two more I shot on the same day (25th May 1975) which I think are closer to what it should look like. D1070 at the same spot A dmu on the bridge The shot of 50030 must be a bad scan or a bad 'tweak' - I'm working on it! Thanks for pointing this out.

RMweb Premium alexross42 Posted May 26, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 26, 2020 I finally found my lost stash of prints and amongst them was this one taken at Laira, presumably early 1990s - not my photograph, it was donated by a family friend. Probably returning from a visit to the carriage washer? I can't make out the second loco's number but I'm thinking either 48 or 18? 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagrizz Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I have a few old ones. This first one was on a cold and gloomy December day in 1978 at Northfield. I should think the Ektachrome 400 was pushed to 1600 ASA on a day like this. March 1980 at New St next for 50046 And on to Harbury, May 1980.

jonny777 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 50003 pauses at Crewkerne sometime in the 1980s. The track work being undertaken may help to date the photo. Initially, the length of the train made me wonder if it was a enthusiasts special, but I can't see any further evidence. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
