RMweb Gold Market65 Posted July 21, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 21, 2020 Good afternoon, David. I like the Ulgham Lane crossing photo’s which are all of interest. In J9676, with class 37, number 37049 on a down dolofines train, in September, 1988, you can see, clearly, just how much dust there was in the wake of the train. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold DaveF Posted July 22, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) All of today's photos were taken at Bottesford, betwen Grantham and Nottingham. Second edit, repeated for the second time - the original edit has vanished. The photos are now lower down the page.

RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted July 22, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 22, 2020 I too can't see today's British photos, but thank you for the nice ones of Switzerland, so as a compensation here is my favourite Swiss photo, of the MOB just outside Zweissimmen. The two trains are on the same route and will shortly pass at a loop. Unfortunately I couldn't get a photo with a third train on the line in the foreground. And I only realised when I turned round that I was standing outside a military base. Probably not the best place to brandish a camera. Not brilliant quality i am afraid, Jonathan 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted July 22, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 22, 2020 Good evening, David. I too can only see the Swiss photo’s - it’s all big blank boxes where the Bottesford photo’s should be. Of the Swiss photo’s, that very first one of Oberalppass, FO HGe4/4, 36, on an eastbound train, on the 28th July, 1992, C17109, is most delightful with stunning scenery. Thank you for posting it.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted July 22, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 22, 2020 Well, David, it was worth waiting for those excellent photo’s of Bottesford, and in the first photo’, of a class 114 DMU on a Nottingham to Skegness service, in June, 1981, it appears the rear car, the DTCL, is in blue and grey, as opposed to the first car in plain blue.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted July 23, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2020 Good afternoon, David. I like the Midland Main Line photo’s which are full of interest and show good contrasting scenes. In the last photo’ at Loughborough, with 43105, leading an up HST, on the 10th June, 1989, the contrast between the HST and the factory buildings on the right is quite pronounced. Two completely different eras in one photo’. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this have been around the time that the access into the Falcon Works was reconnected, to allow the class 60s to be delivered by rail, I wonder? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesysmith Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Are you sure of that 31 on the parcels train? I`m sure BR did the big numbers to save time when the crew were looking for their loco, but it does make identifying what the loco was from pictures easier. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted July 24, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 24, 2020 Good afternoon, David. I like the Newcastle photo’s which are all of interest. In the last photo’ of 37354, on an up cement empties train, on the 11th June, 1991, you can see how the loco number has been applied on the nose end.
