RMweb Gold Market65 Posted September 22, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 22, 2020 Good afternoon, David. I like the Buston Barns photo’s which are all of interest. In C11523, with 43069, on an up express, on the 8th October, 1988, I’m seeing someone up against the fence, watching the train go by. I wonder who he/she was? And the field looks as if it may have recently have undergone the now outlawed practice of stubble burning. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At weekends I often took my parents out in my car, Dad and I took railway photos while Mum looked at flora and fauna - as well as being a mathmatician she is, like me, a biologist. Sometimes Mum also took railway photos. Stubble burning was indeed taking place then, but was becoming less common. David 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted September 23, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Good afternoon, David. I like the latest Morpeth photo’s, all of which are of interest. In J9640, with 43075, leading a HST from London Kings Cross to Glasgow Queen Street, in August, 1988, you can see that the cover for the lights on the drivers side of 43075 has apparently been broken away for an unknown reason.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted September 24, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) Good afternoon, David. I like the Newcastle Central photo’s, and all are of interest. The last photo’, of a Mk4 DVT, leading an up express on the 3rd September, 1994, is a good view of such a DVT in it’s original livery. With warmest regards, Rob.

35A Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I am hugely impressed that you managed to identify that class 47 in C14020. The state of that loco would have done Gateshead proud. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted September 26, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 26, 2020 Good evening, David. I like the Blyth and Tyne photo’s, all of which are of interest. In J8441, at Winning, with 37076, on a train of empty coal wagons in October, 1985, that is a great view from BR blue days and the 37 makes a typical sight at the head of that train.

In the first one, at Bewdley, with 4MTT, BR standard tank, 80079, running light engine, in August, 1980, you can see how clean and shiny the engine was on that day - a splendid sight.

RMweb Premium Brit70053 Posted September 27, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 27, 2020 Thanks so much for posting the photos from the Severn Valley Railway Dave. A happy reminder of when the shed at Bridgnorth was fairly open to visitors, provided common sense was exercised. Friends and I always enjoyed a good look round on the Friday evenings prior to the early years Spring and Autumn Gala events. Regards, John 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted September 27, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 27, 2020 The first time I have noticed the extra destination blinds in the centre windows. Useful with the complex workings in some areas. Is this the only class to have had them? And back on your B&T photos. I am sure a good book could be created from them. I have hardly seen any other photos of the area elsewhere, at least not identified as the Blyth & Tyne. Jonathan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted September 27, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 27, 2020 Good afternoon, David. I like the Glasgow Central low level and Exhibition station photo’s all of which are of interest and show aspects which I think are not fully covered by other photographers. In C16713, at Glasgow Central low level, with 303073, on a service to Dalmuir, on the 29th February, 1992, you can see two lots of wires hanging down on the rear cab bulkhead. I wonder what it was in connection with - track circuit operating clips for use in an emergency? With warmest regards, Rob. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
