I like the Steamtown at Carnforth photo’s which are fascinating, and I wonder which Black 5 the frames were from in C8808, on the 8th August, 1987. In the last photo’ of the saloon ‘Loch Eil’, and GWR saloon, number 9400, on the same date, at this end of Loch Eil you can see, through the bottom end window, a plastic seat in orange which looks most out of place. Hopefully today it is better equipped than that. The Tyne Yard photo’s are full of interest, and in C14562, with 47321, on a down dolofines train, on the 17th July, 1990, you can see the many different wagons and vans in the vast yard. I’m sure no one will have enough room, even in N gauge to make a scale model of it all. With warmest regards, Rob. And Tyne wasn't a massive one , imagine how big a space you would need for Kingmoor or Tees When I started building my layout I thought with 35ft I could possibly have a hump but ot a hope I'd wanted to run more than 5 wagon trains Great pictures, the ones in 82 show the yard still in full layout before the hump shut in 84. Tyne was virtually identical to Healey Mills 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 14, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 14, 2021 Good evening, David. I like the latest Ulgham Lane crossing photo’s which are all full of interest. In C18274, with 37506, on a down train of pipes, on the 13th February, 1993, you can see that the 37 is accelerating with a good plume of exhaust showing.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 15, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 15, 2021 Good afternoon, David. I like the photo’s of the bridges over the River Tyne at Newcastle. A fascinating set of photo’s, and the first one, of a Metro on the QE2 bridge, on the 18th February, 1991, is, as stated, well timed, and is a most unique view of the bridge which I’ve not seen before.

In C20539, at Greenhead, with a class 156, on a Sunderland to Carlisle service on the 29th August, 1995, that’s a most excellent example of a ‘train in the landscape’ photo’, along with traffic on the adjacent road too.

We danced on the platform a few years back one Sunday morning (flea market and so on). As you say, it's much improved.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 18, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 18, 2021 Good evening, David. I like the latest York photo’s which are all of interest. In the first photo’, of class 47 number 1764, on a Newcastle to Liverpool service, in November, 1971, you can see the flurry of exhaust from the 47 as it power’s its train away from the station. Steam is leaking from several places from the Mk1 carriages. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All are of interest, and in J7033, at Cambois, with the Blyth west staithes, in July, 1980, you have a photo’ which shows a good amount of detail which is always of help when building a model.

Mark Saunders Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 West Blyth Staiths were redecked at some stage with timber replaced with concrete. There appears to have been a second pushing up road that was removed whe rebuilt! There was a team of joiners based in a cabin at the abutment where the yard met the staithes. The empty line was always timber decked and was fully replaced in 1984 during the pit strike. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
