RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted April 22, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 22, 2021 C19471 is a great photo - and just the kind of thing it is impossible to represent on a model, even in N gauge (T gauge perhaps?) Jonathan 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted April 22, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 22, 2021 Good evening, David. I like the latest Newcastle to Carlisle line photo’s. All are of interest, and in DSC_0264, at Melkridge, with a class 156, 156497, on a Newcastle to Carlisle service, on the 15th March, 2007, you can see how that Arriva livery quite suited those units. A pity non of the current models are available in it. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lurker Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 There seem to be quite a few people there to photograph the train in C20932, more than I would have expected for a routine coal train. Was something different awaited? I scrolled down the photos half expecting something to appear! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got there I wondered why there were so many people, but it was just the usual procession of freight trains, nothing unusual. It was school half term week, perhaps they were all teachers doing some train spotting! David 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted April 23, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 23, 2021 Good afternoon, David. I like the Milford Junction photo’s, all of which are of interest.

All are of interest, and the last photo’ of Low Fell, with 47564, on a train of Mk1 stock on an up special, on the 28th June, 1988, shows very clearly how the 47 is accelerating.

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted April 25, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) This afternoon we take a trip to Manchester Victoria, with the early photos from October 1967 and the later ones from 1989. The earlier ones may have appeared in another thread before, I hope no one will mind. I can clearly remember the day I took the earlier photos even though it is now well over fifty years ago, I was in Manchester for an interview at the University. Having arrived from Harrogate nice and early I was able to have a look at the station and take photos before walking through Manchester, along Oxford Road and the finding the right building to go to. I was still early so had a look at the museum which proved to have been a good idea as I was going to study Botany and Zoology. During the interview I was asked if I had been there and was asked to comment on the specimens I had looked at. This led to my living in Manchester for several years, which I very much enjoyed.

Andrew P Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Thanks David, I enjoyed those very much, I've been to Victoria Station a few times but only since 2005, and the atmosphere then was almost lifeless compared to your wonderful pics above. Thanks again for taking the time to share both the pics and the interesting story behind them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted April 25, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 25, 2021 Good evening, David. I like the Crich photo’s, which are fascinating. The last one of Gateshead number 5, on the 7th April, 1990, shows what a particularly splendid tram that single decker is. That door nearest the camera looks just like a door from a typical house. The Manchester Victoria station photo’s are full of interest, and it’s great how you’ve posted both those earlier ones from 1967, in addition to those from 1989. In DImageN02, with Stanier class 5, number 44846, waiting as a banker, in October, 1967, you have captured a lovely three quarter shot of the engine as well as part of the station complete with a class 104 DMU alongside with a well loaded guards van.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted April 26, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) Good evening, David. I like the Derbyshire photo’s, from around the Peak District, and today’s bonus photo’. They are all of much interest, and in JVol6105, at Millers Dale, with a new BR class 5, number 73009, on a Derby to Manchester Central service, in August, 1951, the new class 5 makes a great contrast to the signals, especially the leaning signal on the right.
