RMweb Gold Market65 Posted November 18, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 18, 2021 Good evening, David. That’s a most outstanding set of photo’s of the line from Grantham to Nottingham. The last photo’ of Colwick and the coaler (Coal Cracker as the coaler at Hull Dairycoates was known) in c1955, is most interesting and it dwarfs the B1 and A5. It would make a most impressive model.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted November 19, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 19, 2021 Good evening, David. That’s a most impressive and atmospheric set of photo’s from the west of Austria. The first one of Bludenz, Montafonerbahn 1045.01, on the 1st August, 1992, shows how delightful the locomotive was at the time of the photo’. The livery suited it well.

RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted November 20, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 20, 2021 The livery in the first photo really suited the class 90s. Nothing since has come anywhere near it. Jonathan 2 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted November 20, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 20, 2021 Good evening, David. That is a most excellent selection of photo’s of Carlisle. In C13823, with 86501, on a down freight train, on the 27th October, 1989, it is a well composed three quarter shot of the engine. It shows how the division between the dark grey and yellow cut across the former headcode box. I always felt that it was a bit unsightly, but I suppose there was no real alternative.

There was an alternative: I’ve no idea which of the variants was more common but from a quick look at Flickr images, the above version was by no means rare. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted November 21, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 21, 2021 Good evening, David. That’s a superb set of photo’s of Crich. In C12057, with LCC, 106, and a West Bromwich bus, 32, and Blackpool tram, 40, on the 11th June, 1989, you have the nice sandwich of a bus in between two trams. Always such a lot to see and experience at Crich and the photo’s capture that so well. The photo’s from Sunderland Bridge, on the ECML, are an excellent selection, and in C20813, with a class 91 on a down express on the 23rd March, 1996, you can see how begrimed the 91 is. I hope it got cleaned later on at the end of that days diagram. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted November 22, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 22, 2021 Good evening, David. That’s a most impressive set of photo’s of Ulgham Lane crossing and Buston Barns on the ECML. In C14550, at Buston Barns, with 43117, leading a down HST, on the 16th June, 1990, you can see how the light cluster covers either side of the grill for the air horns have been given different treatments. I’m not sure if you’d get away with doing that on a model. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted November 23, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2021 Good evening, David. That’s a most impressive selection of photo’s from Chathill and Chevington on the ECML. The last photo’ at Chevington, with 47460, on a down light engine movement, in February, 1987, is good example of a ‘Light Engine In The Landscape’, and just look at how the field has flooded next to the railway.

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted November 24, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) We stay in Northumberland this afternoon with photos from visits to Morpeth in 1992 and 1993.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted November 24, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 24, 2021 Good evening, David. You have posted a most excellent selection of photo’s of Morpeth. The last one of 142026, on an Alnmouth to Newcastle service, on the 20th December, 1993, captures a Pacer worked service perfectly. It’s even better since it’s one of the former ‘Skippers’ and still in chocolate and cream livery. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium keefer Posted November 24, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 24, 2021 catching up slightly but: Monday - Buston Barns 43117 down 16th June 90 C14550 - great picture, really captures the HST hammering towards the camera. Tuesday - Chevington Class 91 up test train 1st weekend of electric trains 15th June 91 C15938 - one for 'Prototype for Everything' particularly for those with smaller layouts! Wednesday - love the contrast between the premier ECML cl.91+Mk4 stock sweeping in on the illustrious long-distance expresses and the flying skateboards on the locals. Plus C18213 of 56119 is just a beautiful picture, the loco looking very crisp and clear in the frosty landscape. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted November 25, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 25, 2021 Good evening, David. That’s a stunning set of photo’s of the Newcastle to Carlisle line, especially the last three with the trains in the awe inspiring landscape. The first photo’ at Fourstones, with that record breaking A4, 4468, Mallard, on a York to Carlisle special train, in August, 1988, would be after the record breaker was at Beverley as in the first photo’ in my East Yorkshire Photo’s thread.
