RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted January 21, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2017 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. http://www.dartcastings.co.uk/mjt/2352.php These buffers I believe. Mike.

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted January 21, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Nottingham Midland station today in 1970 and 1971 with typical motive power of the period. Neither Dad nor I took photos at big stations very often, usually only when we were actually travelling by train. These were all taken by Dad, looking at the dates I think he would have been dropping me off at the station when I was returning to Manchester, or else when he was picking me up. Where he lived then was quite difficult to reach by bus at some times of day. It's worth looking at the detail differences between the locos.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 21, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2017 Hi, Dave. A great set of photos of Nottingham Midland. The 45's make a powerful sight, and were such an integral part of the Midland Mainline for many years. The photos help to keep the memories alive. With warmest regards, Rob.

Jon Fitness Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Looks like the Nottingham ones were taken during re-signalling; a lot of bright shiny colour lights combined with the sad sight of armless semaphore structures and redundant signalboxes. Sad but ever so important time capsules. JF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullie Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 It never ceases to surprise me how grubby things looked in those days, and I can still remember the revelation as famous London buildings were cleaned to reveal their original colours from what must have the late 70s onwards. Great photos as always. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium keefer Posted January 22, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 22, 2017 C3189 is a good view of one of the former luggage vans. as the boat traffic declined they were converted into MBS, but are recognisable by the unique window layout - particularly the use of large saloon windows Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted January 22, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Hi David The class 308 in C3189 is one of the ones with the motor luggage brake van converted to a motor second brake. Edit, I had an internet problem and didn't realise Keefer had beaten me to it. Edited January 22, 2017 by Clive Mortimore Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopardml2341 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Seeing those Rail 150 pics reminds me I have some super8 cine film that would be better off on dvd; can anyone recommend a quality transfer company? Sorry for thread hijack David, so I anyone with any recommendations based on personal use could PM me, so I don't get into more trouble for hijacking, I'd be really grateful. Rgds, Andy.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 22, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 22, 2017 Hi, Dave. Excellent photos of Rail 150. It was such a great event which we will not see again in our lifetimes. There are more great photos of the L.T.&S.R. A much underrated railway. I particularly like seeing Waverley. I haven't seen many photos of her before. With warmest regards, Rob.

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted January 23, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2017 I think today's photos could be called, somewhat loosely, "around Cambridge". In other words a few odds and ends.
