RMweb Premium keefer Posted October 27, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 27, 2020 I've noticed that sometimes when you press 'submit reply', it doesn't and you have to press it again. The forum's been a bit funny today too. Glad it was just a glitch - we're so used to your usual posting time , I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking 'Dave hasn't posted today, I hope he's ok'! 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted October 28, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) I hope you all found yesterday's belated images which are at the bottom of the previous page. In future I will check the post has worked before I go off to do something else. Today's photos were taken at Plawsworth, between Chetsre le Street and Durham on the ECML. The fifth photo shows what happens when you set the wrong shutter speed.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted October 28, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 28, 2020 Good afternoon, David. I was a bit concerned about you yesterday, and thank goodness it was just something about that submit button. So yesterday’s photo’s are a great set showing Southside, and I particularly liked C12062, with blue liveried 37244, on a down coal train, on the14th June, 1989. Today’s photo’s of Plawsworth are excellent, and capture the location extremely well. In J9342, with a Plasser and Theurer 0732 tamper and liner, on a down workng, in October, 1987, that’s a great shot which captures the approaching tamper so well. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted October 29, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2020 A few extra photos today. I've posted a lot of photos in this thread taken around Ulgham Lane Crossing and Butterwell Junction so I thought it might be worth showing what it was like in more recent times - in this case around 2013.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted October 29, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 29, 2020 Good morning, David. I like these extra photo’s of Ulgham Lane Crossing and Butterwell Junction from the 27th August, 2013. Three most interesting photo’s. In that first photo’, with 91114, Durham Cathedral, on a down express service, you have captured so well the special livery on the 91.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted October 29, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 29, 2020 Good afternoon, David. I like the Derbyshire photo’s which are all of interest. In the last photo’, at Peak Forest, with 37687, shunting, on the 24th August, 1990, you have captured a lovely portrait view of the 37 against the quarry background.

There was also a good pub, the name of which escapes me completely, where we were thrown out of the public bar into the lounge because we were making too much noise and disturbing the darts players. The only time that happened to me - it was usually the other way round. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
talisman56 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) C14200 - my first effort at a similar (straight-walled) cutting on one of my first layouts came out a bit like this - a shame that, at the time, I didn't know I could justify leaving the whole mess as it was...

You're probably recalling Jerry Howarth Pork Butchers at the bottom of King Street near the junction with the A6. Their Black Puddings are excellent (and award winning). Still there as far as I'm aware. As for pubs, Belper remains still a 'well-pubbed' town, at least it was prior to the present 'situation', with a good variety of breweries' products available. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Ian Smeeton Posted October 30, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 30, 2020 Cracking photos, David. What did astonish me, though, is that the pics have been up for more than 4 hours, and NO ONE has identified the Deltic, yet. Come on, guys, you're slacking!!!

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted October 30, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 30, 2020 Good evening, David. I like the Essendine photo’s. All are of interest, and what a sight the 90 makes in C20269, on a down express of Mk4 stock, on the 10th June, 1995. And in the last photo’ of two two car class 158’s, on a Norwich to Liverpool service, on the same date, it seems some the hopper vents are open - the air conditioning must have not been working as well as it should.

Regards Ian It's a Haymarket 'Deltic' - the nameplate style gives it away. It could be any of the four with two-line plates (9006, 9010, 9019 or 9021). All were in traffic in July 1972. However, we know that Dave tended to photograph at weekends. It might be 9019, which was recorded as working the up "Yorkshire Pullman" (1A16) on Saturday 8th July. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackthorn Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I'm afraid I can't help with the Deltic. I did see the prototype at York many moons ago, overhearing some kids wondering "Why there is an American engine here?", their words, not mine. Had to give them a bit of a history lesson. Thanks for your daily posts Dave. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark54 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 J2968 at Essendine in July 72, from the formation, was the 09:25 from Leeds-KX. In addition to the 8 coaches seen, there should have been a 3 coach 08:50 Halifax portion on the end - TSO, CK, BSO. C1004 - I presume on the same day and from the consist, was the Friday 09:05 Newcastle-KX the Tees-Type Pullman (only 4 Pullmans rather than 5 Mon-Thurs plus a 5th TSO - which you can just make out in the photo it is Mk2a to add to the usual 4 Mk2d TSOs). The Mk1 catering vehicle is Griddle Car RG E1102 which was used as a 1st class bar and 2nd class buffet. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted October 31, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 31, 2020 Good evening, David. I like the Winning photo’s of which all are of interest. In the first photo’, you have a dull and dirty looking 56115, on a train of coal wagons to Blyth power station, in April, 1985. The whole of the train would make an excellent weathering project. The last photo’ of the bracket signal, on the 6th July, 1987, is a most excellent one for details. Again it would be of much help for those making a model.

RMweb Gold russ p Posted November 1, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 1, 2020 Excellent pictures David, the station looked better when it was in open countryside. When did they complete the tramway circle? I remember going in the 70s and the tramway was kind of a stand alone attraction whereas nowadays its kind of the center of the whole museum as you need to use it to move between exhibits 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
