The first photo’ of Neville Street statue of George Stephenson, in June, 1988, is excellent, and also, on the building behind the statue, on the left hand side, on top of that window, there appears to be a small bush of some kind there. It’s something that is not often to be seen. With warmest regards, Rob. Looks like the guttering was well overdue for clearance... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 4, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 4, 2021 Good evening, David. I like the selection of Scottish photo’s. All are of interest, and the first one of Dalrymple viaduct, on the Dalmellington branch, on the 18th February, 1990, shows what a great structure it is, and it is nicely framed by the trees in the photo’.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 5, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 5, 2021 Good evening, David. I like the latest Ulgham Lane crossing photo’s of which all are of interest. In C18139, 56130, on an up coal train from Butterwell, on the 28th November, 1992, makes a most impressive sight. I miss seeing the 56’s on such trains.

Fat Controller Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 C15956:- dolofines for agricultural use in Eastern Scotland. They were destined for Montrose, and possibly other locations. The last 3, taller, wagons were the bogie side-tippers operated by our old neighbour 'Billy' Thompson. An innovative design, which should have been much more widely adopted. They didn't need any specialised loading equipment, unlike hoppers and 'flat-bottomed' minerals. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 6, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 6, 2021 Good evening, David. I like the latest Newcastle to Carlisle photo’s, all of which are of interest. In C19847, at Fourstones, with a class 156, on a Carlisle to Newcastle service, on the 25th October, 1994, you have an excellent ‘train in the landscape’ view and a quite dramatic sky too.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 7, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 7, 2021 Good evening, David. I like the Severn Valley Railway photo’s, of which all are of interest and show how the preserved line has changed over the intervening decades. In J7192, of Victoria Bridge, at Arley, with Jubilee class , number 5690, Leander, on a Bridgnorth to Bewdley train in August, 1980, it makes a spendid sight on the lovely bridge. The latest Grantham to Nottingham line photo’s at Bottesford and Radcliffe on Trent are all fascinating, and in J5923, at Radcliffe on Trent, with class 25, number 25122, on an oil train heading east, in February, 1978, it is a most ethereal sight as the 25 heads it’s train through the fog, with a touch of snow in a couple of places. It would make a most excellent oil painting. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 8, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 8, 2021 Good evening, David. I like the latest Carlisle photo’s. All are of interest, and that’s an excellent portrait shot of 47606, Odin, along with 31120, in April, 1987, in J8804. It’s interesting to see two 86’s in C16725, with 86247 and 86226, on a Euston to Carlisle service on the 14th March, 1992.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 9, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 9, 2021 Good evening, David. I like the latest Morpeth photo’s, which are all of interest. The first photo’, of a class 254, HST, with 43126, leading on an up express on the 19th January, 1985, is an excellent view in the snow as is the following photo’, C8178, with 43063 leading a down HST on the 17th January, 1987 - and what a very cold month that was.

35A Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Another lovely set of pictures, appropriately with snow! I would query the ID on the first one, C6686. 43126 was a Western Region power car and was in Executive livery by 1984 (this picture is January 1985). My initial thought was that it might be a typo for the Eastern Region's 43162, which was named "Borough of Stevenage" - but not until later in 1985, it transpires, when it too gained Executive livery. Unfortunately, I can't get a good enough enlargement to offer any alternative suggestion as to what it might actually be. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is the guy on the platform one of them! So eight people to investigate a fault? Jonathan I would be very surprised indeed if they were working without the knowledge of, or protection from the signalman (without the need for lookouts). The man on the left of the picture is standing next to the point motor and you can see that the handle to operate it manually is in it. I don’t know if it’s their official name but where I worked we referred to that type of point machine as a “clamp lock”. Also, the point is lying in reverse so the signals either side of the crossover wouldn’t be clear.

cheesysmith Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Just to say how much I love your photos, especially of the humble bog carts. They were so over looked, but without them there would be no railway now. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
