I was on a train going south somewhere near Watford, sometime in about 1986/7, and saw those mk3's in DSB livery going presumably to Harwich for delivery.

In the early 90s I sometime went to and from Europe from North Shields on a DFDS ferry to Esbjerg in Denmark.  Sometimes I stayed a night there and always made sure I photographed a few Danish trains.  Sometimes ex UK coaches appeared.

Good evening, David. That is a great set of photo’s of Esbjerg, in Denmark, from 1992 and 1993. The first photo’ of Class MY, 1132, on the 25th July, 1992, is a superb portrait shot of the classic locomotive. 

 

The whole plate photo’ of class A1, 60134, on a down express train, The Flying Scotsman, in May, 1950, at Grantham North is real gem. Thank you for posting it.

 

The photo’s of the Blyth and Tyne, at Marchey’s House, West Sleekburn Junction, and North Bylth, are an excellent selection. I particularly like C5252, at North Blyth Alcan, with class 37, 37048, light engine, in December, 1980. The shunters pole will be an excellent extra detail to add to one the Accurascale models. 
 

With warmest regards,

 

Rob.

It is sobering to note the limited shutter speed and film speed your father was working with - to such good effect! In an era of autofocus, auto-exposure, sensors that produce excellent results at 6400 ISO, and mirrorless cameras that record at up to 120 frames per second, we do have it so easy!

A trip to Crich this morning to see some trams in 1974, 1989 and 1983.
