35A Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 The photo is dated 1:6:1971. That ties up the loose ends of my memory, confirms the Lincolnshire connection in the cyclical diagram, thanks Mark. Great work. I saw it the same day - based on my records for the day it would have been on that inbound working! I believe that J2083 is 9010. From the nameplate size and layout of the lettering on the plate it can't be 9019 or 9021. The only other alternative is 9006 but I think that the lettering better matches the format, word length etc. of 9010. J2084 is Brush 2 no 5643. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted January 17, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2017 Some photos of Edmondtorpe and Wymondham, long after closure. This station was on the Midland Railway's line from Saxby Junction to Bourne, where it met the M&GN. There are also a couple of photos of Ellistown Colliery. I think we had gone there for a look round with Teddy Boston.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 17, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hi, Dave. A collection of somewhat sad photos of the closed Saxby Junction to Bourne railway line. They do show, however, how the infrastructure of a closed railway can survive after the tracks have been ripped up, and the photos form a most valuable historical record. The Ellistown Colliery photos have a fascination all of their own, and I'm sure they will inspire some layouts based upon them - especially with Hornbys remarkable little Peckett tank loco borne in mind. With warmest regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted January 17, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hi, Dave. A collection of somewhat sad photos of the closed Saxby Junction to Bourne railway line.

Of course many of the buildings do find further use. Stations as houses, goods sheds in use for transport firms/builders yards etc. so complete obliteration of a closed railway often doesn't happen.

KevinWalsh Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 J2755, if you modelled that conveyor and building on a layout there would be howls of derision from the 'experts' and rivet-counters, surely a candidate for the "prototype for everything" thread.

Rugd1022 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I tell you what folks, every time I come to this thread and peruse Dave's wonderful images, it makes me want to build a model railway...... t'ain't going to happen in our current abode though, more's the pity!

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted January 18, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 18, 2017 Hi Dave Is this Street View the same place as your C7914? https://goo.gl/maps/pYj1mgXtYmq If it is how things have changed! Even in your picture there seems to be a lot of yard infrastructure but the tracks have long gone (LH side) Cheers Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 18, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 18, 2017 Hi, Dave. An excellent series of photos of Haymarket and Millerhill. In the first photo, I see that the class 101 in the middle in the blue and grey livery still has a four lamp cab end. I had forgotten how long some with these cab ends lasted for.

millerhillboy Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Nice pictures of millerhill, bang right in my era. Used to cycle up there regularly to see what was on shed and on the move. C7913 shows the former waverley route heading off on the left of the picture. Although the route was recently reinstated this particular section wasn't reused and was bypassed by a brand new trackbed running from the west side of millerhill across to sheriff hall roundabout.

RMweb Gold Downendian Posted January 20, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 20, 2017 Getting my daily dose of David's excellent photos before work. What I like about the photos is that they are many "out in the countryside" and not shots of places you normally see in the publications (e.g London Mainline terminals big stations and depots). They are thoughtfully composed, and I find the infrastructure shots highly useful from a modelling perspective. I'm also amazed at the size of the collection, and long may this thread continue, many thanks to David for the work he puts in to keep us happy.

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted January 20, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) A visit to the ECML in Northumberland with photos taken at Stobswood, by the old brickworks just north of Widdrington station and Ulgham Grange Crossing for today. I don't have many photos at Ulgham Grange Crossing as it is quite a narrow road with no convenient verge to park on.

Swindon 123 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 c5472, notice how many slag dogfish there are. also, c5118 a 37 with buffer cowling and oval buffers . There was a batch of NE 37's that had oval buffers fitted, probably for a specific working. The earliest I've got photos of them fitted is 1969. These are the ones I've found so fitted, in photos up to now. D6755 (in green), 6761(in green) , D6767 (in green), 6770, 6771, 6773, 6774, 37072, 37074, 37079. Paul J.

RMweb Gold russ p Posted January 20, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 20, 2017 I may be wrong but I'm sure I've seen them fitted in 67 pictures I think it may have been for the large amount of unfitted work they did and Thornaby ones had jobs with steep gradients which knocked hell out of oleos Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 20, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 20, 2017 Hi, Dave. A great set of photos of trains on the ECML. Ballymoss looks good in C5473. Relegated to secondary work by that date, it was still good to see and hear the Deltics at work over the ECML before their end by the end of December. With warmest regards, Rob.
