RMweb Gold Market65 Posted August 9, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 9, 2020 Good morning, David. I like the excellent East Anglian Railway Museum photo’s, which show how much varied stock they had back then. In the last photo’, of RSH, CEGB, East Midlands Division, loco’ on the 13th May, 1979, apart from the locomotive, you can see part of a Gresley teak carriage. I can’t recall which one, but I’ll be looking it up in one of the books I have a bit later on. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted August 9, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 9, 2020 Good evening, David. I like the Trent Lane Crossing photo’s which are all of interest. In C14266, you have captured a view of the large set numbered 150, 150150, on a Nottingham to Matlock service, on the 9th April, 1990. I know Bachmann made a model of it a few years ago - albeit with metal cab window surrounds. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is now on the Epping & Ongar Railway, still awaiting preservation. It really needs this, as it is the last of its type still extant. They refer to it by its original LNER number, 43556. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted August 10, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 10, 2020 Good afternoon, David. I like the Newcastle Central photo’s, all of which are of interest. In J9237, it’s great seeing NSE liveried 47, 47582, on a light engine movement, in September, 1987. I certainly don’t recall that many NSE 47’s in the NE of England. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
35A Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 J9628 just reminds me of what a horrible mess they made of the original Railfreight livery when they add that random red stripe to the lower bodyside. Not that it was ever a particularly attractive livery, anyway. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted August 11, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 11, 2020 Good afternoon, David. I like the Scottish photo’s which are all of interest. In C14014, at Waterside, on the 18th February, 1990, you have a most stark, down to earth view. Not a place to go to if you wish to see beauty. Just a place of grim Scottish existence and women washing doorsteps on their knees. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All are of interest, and in C19269, at Tynemouth with a Metro on a St James to Pelaw service, on the 15th January, 1994, you have captured a lovely, tranquil scene. Thank you for posting it.

RMweb Premium keefer Posted August 13, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 13, 2020 I think that's the first time I've seen one of the old-style speed limit signs showing more than 100mph - just seems odd somehow, whereas if it was on a modern road-style sign I wouldn't have given it a second thought! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernardTPM Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I think the round ones look odd, personally. I can remember in Rail News they had a shot of '125' signs going up for the HST. This would have been around 1976, at a guess. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted August 13, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 13, 2020 Good evening, David. I like the Floriston photo’s of which all are of interest. In C20231, with 37674 and 37696, on a train of empty china clay slurry tank wagons, from Irvine to Burngullow, on the 31st May, 1995, the 37’s make a fine sight at the head of that train.
