Andrew P Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Hi Dave, It's amazing how a covering of Snow adds so much in the of both atmosphere and feeling to a picture. Wonderful shots as always, thanks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted December 27, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 27, 2020 Good evening, David. I like the Foxfield Railway photo’s which are all of interest. In the last one, at Dilhorne, the Hunslet, Wimblebury, in May, 1978, still has what appears to be a fireiron on it’s roof. Perhaps I’m wrong but that’s how it appears to my eyes. The Northumberland photo’s, at Damdykes and Cramlington, are fascinating, and full of interest. In C19218, at Damdykes, with 47823 heading an up charter special, The Great Briton, on the 25th October, 1993, the third carriage looks very much like an RBR. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted December 28, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted December 28, 2020 Today's photos start at Great Ponton south of Grantham and end at Dry Doddington, just south of Claypole on the line to Newark. Please note that in the first photo permission had been given for people to take photos from railway owned land.

RMweb Premium keefer Posted December 28, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) Interesting that the HST in J6996 not only has an extra TF, but it's next to the trailing power car at the 2nd class end Edited December 28, 2020 by keefer 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted December 28, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 28, 2020 Good evening, David. I like the photo’s from Great Ponton to Dry Doddington on the line to Newark. All are of interest, and in C5677, at Dry Doddington, with a class 254 HST on a down express in May, 1982, that is a very powerful view, as the HST approaches the camera head on.

The front coach was a very rough-riding 90mph TSO - we went down the slow line from York to Northallerton. Can’t tell you what the train was. I only have my haulage list, my original notebook is in store. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted December 29, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 29, 2020 Good evening, David. I like the Newcastle photo’s which are all of interest. In C11960, with 47577 on a Liverpool to Newcastle service on the 1st June, 1989, you have captured a most excellent three quarter front view of the 47. It can be seen that some yellow paint has worn off the former headcode panel. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
35A Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 C12083 (the courier coach) reminds me of the latter days of the Class 115s on the Chiltern line. My train in to Marylebone, for work, for several weeks, on a couple of occasions, was formed of a Class 47 and four Mark Is, rustled up at Old Oak Common. Usually! On one occasion, there must have been a desperate shortage of spare stock at OOC. The train was formed, behind 47 484 "Isambard Kingdom Brunel", of a Class 108 DTS (with the glass-doored corridor connection nearest to the loco!), a courier coach, a Mark I TSO and a Mark I BSK - all vehicles open to the public. I eschewed the compartment in the courier coach, in favour of bouncing along the Metropolitan line at the corridor connection end of the Class 108, with a full view of the back cab of the Class 47, lurching from side to side. The most unusual assembly of stock that I've ever travelled in. 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D826 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Serendipity 35A ? See photo of Aylesbury signal box in 1988 - in the Prototype Discussions Signal Box thread. Posted by SM32 yesterday- 47484's front is in view. Pointing towards London on the up side in the main up platform at Aylesbury. (Rather than the bay platform which may have gone by this time anyway - memory fails me). Best regards Matt W 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted December 30, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 30, 2020 Good evening, David. I like the ECML photo’s from around Longhirst in Northumberland. All are of interest and most nostalgic. What a great reminder of how class 56 hauled coal trains were in C19072, with 56107, on a down empty coal train, on the 26th August, 1993.

The bay was removed late 1990/early 1991 - I've photos as late as July 1990, when it was still in situ and in daily use. I wonder what IKB was doing there in 1988, as the loco-hauled substitutions were (as required) between November 1990 and June 1991, as the 115s started to fall apart? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted December 31, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 31, 2020 Good evening, David, and Happy New Year. I hope you will have a happy, healthy and prosperous new year. I look forward to a new year full of photo’s of railway interest which will, as always, be something to look forward to each day. I like today’s final batch of photo’s, for 2020, of Scottish subjects. In particular I like C13961, of Dumfries, on the 16th February, 1990. It is a lovely shot of the buildings and canopies in the mid February sunshine. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

35A Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Wishing you all a very Happy New Year, good health and happiness. Hopefully, in 2021, we shall be able to recommence our hobbies in earnest. I actually didn't take a single railway photograph in 2020, being (effectively) shielding, as far as was practical - the first time that I haven't created a rail archive folder since the early 1970s! 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BernardTPM Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Brings back memories of Club trips to Crich in the '70s & '80s. Minor correction: J6659 The tram is a Coronation, rather than a Cunarder. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
