RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 5, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 5, 2018 Hi, Dave. I like the latest Blyth and Tyne photo’s. All are superb, and capture that era perfectly. I too love seeing two 37’s in C5886. A great sight, and a shame they got replaced with the 56’s, good though, in their way, they were. With warmest regards, Rob.

Beechnut Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Brendan, the photo of you next to the King is Didcot, up relief platform by the looks of it. Looks very different now with the wires up! Thanks Nidge and Mike, should have remembered it had stopped raining by then. Brendan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 6, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 6, 2018 Hi, Dave. I like the Shepherds Bush and Rickmansworth photo’s. Full of detail, and interest. In J6393, at Rickmansworth, with a train of LT R stock in March, 1979, the platform canopies make a fine sight, and would make great models. I also like the last one with a train running through the trees. With warmest regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All so full of interest, and I particularly like J2974, with class 25, 5280, on a down parcels train in July, 1972. A truly superb view of a typical parcels train. With warmest regards, Rob.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 8, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) Hi, Dave. I like the Nottingham towards Newark photo’s. All superb, and the last two are good views of the class 120 units. In C4352, at Sneinton Junction, with 25/3, 25309 shunting a train in February, 1979, you have a great weathering effect, and it would look good on a model. With warmest regards, Rob.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 9, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 9, 2018 Hi, Dave. I like the East Midlands around Nottingham photo’s. So excellent, but in the last one, so sad. Sad to see that apart from the retaining walls and tunnel portal nothing was left of Nottingham Victoria station. However, I love the effect of the sun on the two class 114 DMU’s at Bottesford, in C5585, in October, 1981. I feel inspired to make a painting of it. With warmest regards, Rob.
