RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 5, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5, 2019 Hi, Dave. I like the Blyth and Tyne photo’s. They are most interesting, and I particularly like C8238, at North Blyth Alcan, with 37212 running through from Lynemouth on the 22nd December, 1986. The photo’ makes a fine portrait of the 37. With warmest regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

35A Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Well, that was a marathon "catching-up" session. Having been away since 23rd I have been very much looking forward to getting back and looking at the most recent pictures - somehow viewing them on a smartphone screen is less than satisfactory, so I tend not to do so whilst away from home. It was certainly worth the wait. Belatedly, a happy new year and best wishes for a healthy 2019 to all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcanman Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Great photos of North Blyth and Cambois. 37212 in good old BR Blue with the North Sea in the background is superb and my favourite location on the Blyth & Tyne. Thanks for sharing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted January 6, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2019 This afternoon we visit Carlton on Trent in the late 1970s, a few miles north of Newark where there is a level crossing . When the photos were taken there were good views of the railway across a field, I don't know if that view is still available. These are Dad's photos, he seems to have gone there a few times. I looked at my slide index today, as far as I can tell I never photographed anything there. Mum and Dad lived south of the River Trent so railway locations to the north of Newark were always more awkward to get to than to the south of the town.

RMweb Gold russ p Posted January 6, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 6, 2019 Evening David, great pictures again. Until I've seen your collection I would never have thought brake coaches 'the wrong way round' was so common. The train in the top photograph has two!

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 6, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 6, 2019 Hi, Dave. I like the Oxenhope photo’s. It’s always good to see early photo’s of the KWVR. In particular, I like the two with the ex LNER observation saloon. It doesn’t seem too often you see photo’s of it. That’s a great set of photo’s of Carlton on Trent. It’s so great to see those expresses on the ECML. In particular, J6443, is a great shot of a typical Deltic plus eight formation, with 55022, on a down express in May, 1979. With warmest regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I get the Trent254.jpg text in the place of the image, but clicking on another image and going next/previous reveals it, but disappears on close. Refreshing the page and it is still missing. Also happened yesterday with some images, but today they are there..... Puzzling... While zooming in, you can see something disappearing on the up line further in the distance than the 45 on ballast, with the signal behind it on red.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 7, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2019 Hi, Dave. I like the Midland photo’s, which are most interesting. In J6845, at Trent, with a class 47 on a train of down empties, in April, 1980, on enlarging the photo’, the number of the 47 appears to be 47 2x5. I just can’t quite make out the number between the 2 and the 5. A 1 perhaps? With warmest regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Dave I hadn't noticed the train in the very far distance - I'm assuming you mean the one to the left of the biggest pylons, it's a rake of HAAs hauled by a Class 56. I know that because I got a photo of it before the one of the Class 45. Davexoc. I've had same problem all day with the images not loading first time, keep having to refresh. For both of you, the site has been very slow today - something to do with responses to the Hornby announcement, the photos do take a long time to load. Hopefully it will improve in the next couple of days. It was slow at times yesterday too, apparently a lot of people using the site. It took me nearly half an hour to upload today's photos. Two late crest roundels on a crimson and cream, early numbered coach? Methinks, like a lot of their early stock liveries, Carnforth were using 'artistic licence' in their restorations. Regards, John Isherwood. It is indeed wrong. However it was just before the days when it was based at Carnforth, it had arrived at Nottingham behind Flying Scotsman earlier that day on its way from Market Overton to Carnforth. As far as I know it was one of Bill McAlpine's coaches then. I cannot now remember where it was restored/painted.

A lot of preserved lines use artistic licence, particularly with respect to BR(S) Green liveried Mark 1s, where a lot of common-or-garden ones have carriage roundels applied where they shouldn't be...

RMweb Premium uax6 Posted January 8, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2019 The vehicle behind the sleeper looks a bit up in the air at the far end, hence the red flag maybe? The vehicle next to the sleeper is a Steam Heating coach, one of the ones used on the electrified West Coast Main before all the coaches had been swapped to MK1's with ETH. It's had up against the stops hence why the rear is in the air, and I'm guessing that is its usual resting place, so hence the flag to mark it out to a driver propelling against it.
