RMweb Premium melmerby Posted March 10, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 10, 2020 I wonder what the centre coach on the DM&EE unit in Darlington is? It's body profile doesn't match either the 302 this end or the 305 at the other: Linked to Dave's companion picture from Sept last year. 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold russ p Posted March 10, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2020 I'm not sure that that unit was actually operable, it was used for training staff including me on overhead electrification safety and regulations Don't know why they thought the training had to be in an EMU as the vehicles played no part in the training purely a mobile classroom Great pictures 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great pictures as always. They're Billy Thompson's side-tippers, carrying Dolime from Ferryhill to Montrose. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted March 10, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2020 Good evening, David. I like the Darlington to Newcastle photo’s which are so nostalgic and all of interest. In C19139, at Croxdale, with a class 91 on an up Inter City express on the 16th October, 1993, you can see that the viaduct is a good solid design which has carried many trains over it over many decades.

RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted March 11, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 11, 2020 Great bit of fence in J8603, just waiting to be modelled - and then told it shouldn't be like that. Also, that is a great view of Durham and its viaduct. Needs a 2 mm model to do it justice - and a large space. Thanks for all the photos.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted March 11, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 11, 2020 Good evening, David. I like the Newcastle to Carlisle photo’s. They are most nostalgic and full of interest. In C8603, at Dilston, you have captured a view of a tamper, 960089, which is different from the more usual three quarter front view. It shows details which the more traditional photo’ cannot. The sunny weather on the 5th July, 1987, contributes to the scene too, and emphasises the yellow livery of the tamping machine. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted March 12, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 12, 2020 Good afternoon, David. I like the photo’s to the north of Grantham, which are splendid, and show the ECML, in it’s glory, before electrification changed it completely. In J5652, at Honington Lane crossing, with an unidentified class 55 Deltic, on a Leeds to Kings Cross express in March, 1977, you have a glorious three quarter view of the train.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted March 13, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13, 2020 Good afternoon, David. I like the Scottish photo’s of places beginning with a K. All are of interest and in C11548, at Kingussie, on the 15th October, 1988, you have a great view of a lovely signalbox. The station buildings in the last photo’ are delightful, and look well designed and built to help them to withstand the worst of the Scottish weather.

RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted March 13, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13, 2020 Lovely station Kingussie.Had a return trip down the Highland main line from there to Blair Atholl to visit Blair Castle last September.This is a journey every railway buff should take and we took it in glorious autumn sunshine over the highest point on the UK rail network....Druimochter summit which is marked as such by the lineside board which dramatically proclaims it..No Black 5,no 37 or 47,no HST or Azuma but Scotrail 170 loaded to almost over capacity each way. The charming station lady who sold us our tickets spoke with a lilting Norfolk accent. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted March 14, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2020 A Tyne and Wear Metro miscellany for today. Some of you may winder why I don't post any photos taken at stations on the Metro network - all my photos of it are taken from public places. Simple reason - the only photography permited on Tyne and Wear Metro stations is described as "family snaps and selfies". Their full policy, which specifically includes reference to enthusiasts, is avialable at: https://www.nexus.org.uk/metro/useful-information/photography-and-filming-metro Howdon Metro St James to Pelaw 28th Dec 89 C13880.jpg Cullercoats Pelaw to St James 4th April 92 C16749.jpg Monkseaton Metro 4006 Tynemouth to Haymarket April 81 J7348.jpg Backworth Metro 4049 Pelaw to St JamesJan 89 J9727.jpg Gateshead Metro on QE2 bridge Aug 82 J7681.jpg David 37 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
