McGomez Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Top photo maybe Bo'ness? I can see an LQ signal. I was pretty sure it wasn´t Bo´ness as I´ve never been there but thanks all the same PinzaC55. Nah, it's Wansford on the Nene Valley. She's on the same line as the Alco, BR standard 'City of Peterborough' behind. C6T. Thanks Classix T. To tell you the truth, I didn´t know I´d ever visited Wansford either except for passing on the A1! I did wonder what sort of loco 55016 was stabled next to. Thanks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGomez Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Three photos from my home town of Hatfield. All have that Kodak 126 mistyness unfortunately but great memories all the same. Tulyar on the 14:03 out of KX IIRC passing under the Red Lion bridge on 8th December 1981. The Addo building was still standing at this time. Photo taken from the western side of the Wrestlers bridge that collapsed some 16 years prior. 55021 leans into the curve just to the south of the station heading northwards on 5th December 1981. I believe there is now a small memorial close to this spot for the victims of the accident that was to occur there some 20 years later. An unidentified Deltic roars through the station northbound sometime between 80-82 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGomez Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Some from a dreary looking Sunday at KX. 15th November 1981. Alycidon stabled in the eastern sidings with a class 46. Pinza is just visible behind the Peak. Here is a fuller side on shot of both 55009 and 007 taken from half way up the ramp to York Way. Pinza can be seen backing onto the stock for the 14:03 departure. (I did say it was a dreary day). And 3 more of her sat awaiting departure. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGomez Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 4 days to go until the end (or so we thought!) 29-12-81. Another dull and dreary day and a trip on the Deltic Executive railtour. Looks pretty nippy out there. Alycidon at Leeds. And Harrogate. And passing 55007 at York. and a plateless and withdrawn 55004 also at York. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGomez Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Another railtour photo today. The Deltic Queen of Scots. A blast up to Edinburgh and back from KX on the 7th November 1981. Tulyar was in charge on the outward trip, seen here at a photo stop at Grantham. 55002 brought us back down to London.
