RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 23, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hi, Dave. A lovely collection of photos from 'around Cambridge'. In C5070 you can see one of the ex-Hull class 105 DMU's. The four lamp cab end and the first type of guards van with only one large side window are the clues. The photo below shows the other type of class 105. With warmest regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted January 24, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2017 Photos taken at Carlisle in 1987 for today, somewhat later than usual. I had a visit from some old friends I hadn't seen for some years who are staying in the area. Once again I find it difficult to believe that it is almost thirty years since I took these photos.

talisman56 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 C5070 - The coach on the extreme right is intriguing. Not seen one with that profile or window arrangement, to my knowledge. Looks like a guard/private area, on a trailer vehicle. Any ideas? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted January 25, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) A few photos from around the Southern for today. Most were taken in poor weather, so they may look a bit muddy and grainy.

Jack Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Graveney Class 33 up Feb 77 C3209.jpg Graveney Class 33 up Feb 77 C3209 Any ideas what this working would have been, or was it just a stock move? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Any ideas what this working would have been, or was it just a stock move? (C3209) There weren't any booked short 33-hauled passenger workings around that part of Kent then (although there were some 33+3Mk1s working Tonbridge/Redhill in peak hours). So this could have been the coaches off the 3am or thereabouts newspaper working out of Victoria to Ramsgate/Dover, although when I was spotting there just a year or so later, a single BSK off the papers would come back to London in daylight in a general parcels train.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 25, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hi, Dave. I like the Southern photo's. The CEP in the first photo looks quite well weathered anyway irrespective of the conditions that the photo was taken in. With warmest regards, Rob.

stuarttrains Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Great pictures again David A shame that the works closed and that the buildings were demolished as they and the sidings would have been better than the NRM shildon as it was a much bigger site Most of the works buildings still exist, just are used for other businesses these days, indeed the G5 is being constructed in a building on the site from what I can gather locally.

Did they have barrier vehicles on the Southern Region in those days? If I saw that formation today that is what would come to mind. Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastwestdivide Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) Did they have barrier vehicles on the Southern Region in those days? If I saw that formation today that is what would come to mind. Jim Good theory, but the only barrier vehicles I remember at that period were for the single-buffer connections within units on the suburban stock, and those were old SR parcel-type vans. The rest of the EMU stock had droppable buckeyes (or normal drawhooks and buffers for the SUBs). I'm sure there are photos on RMWeb somewhere showing 33s pulling EPB units in the snow for example. There's a 33/0 with 4-CEPs in the snow at about 3:10 in this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jp2wcVEHlx8 and another at the bottom of this page: http://www.kentrail.org.uk/Dartford_6.htm Edited January 26, 2017 by eastwestdivide Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 27, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 27, 2017 Hi, Dave. An excellent set of photos of the ECML today. I think, judging by the nameplates, window conditions, etc, that you have both 55's correctly indentified. And just look at how the telegraph wires make a pattern in that first photo - the overhead catenary is the nearest to that these days. With warmest regards, Rob.
