RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted June 18, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 18, 2017 Unusual to see a Class 114 (Derby Heavyweight) unit on a Leeds service at Masboro' most were loco hauled as part of the NE/SW corridor services. Going by the date, it's not beyond possibility that I could be one of the gaggle of spotters on/around the barrow on P4 in the background. Until recently I didn't realise that DMU power cars and trailers had different TOPS identities (114 & 148) in this case. Thanks for this pic David - reminds mi o' mi yoof Back in the day there were 2 ways of getting a local Sheffield to Leeds service, either via Barnsley/Wakefield Kirkgate/Normanton or Rotherham/Cudworth, although I don't know if the Cudworth bit was still used in 1977, but there were a few Rotherham/Wakefield Westgate services, but both extensively used Derby E500xx/E560xx units.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 18, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 18, 2017 Hi, Dave. I am glad you made sure about that folder before deleting it! Excellent photo's of the 25 and the 114 - which were also used on the Hull and Scarborough line later in the '70's. I have photo's of them at Beverley in my East Yorkshire Railways thread. I like the GCR photo's. Duke of Gloucester has come a long way since the time of that photo'. The GCR in BR days makes a fine sight, and the first photo' has to be a classic - a steam hauled freight passing a rake of non-corridor carriages. The engine is spewing smoke from it's chimney with great vigor as it must be accelerating from a signal check. With warmest regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted June 19, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2017 We'll start today with some Tanfield Railway photos, there will be a set each day this week. They were taken at their "Legends of Industry" Gala onSaturday 17th June 2017. Linda and 62 Ugly were the visiting engines. A number of the passenger trains were run as mixed trains. In today's final two photos I was standing on the veranda of a coach, not in a wagon. BSC_3830 Andrews House RSH S&L 62 Ugly BSC_3831 Andrews House RSH S&L 62 Ugly.

Rugd1022 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I rather like the way the track disappears into the painted backscene in the Ardrossan shot J3843...! The Scottish Region images certainly have an aura to them quite unlike anywhere else in the UK. For the first time in absolutely ages I'm actually starting to think about modelling again. Keep them coming Dave! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 19, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 19, 2017 Hi, Dave. I like the Tanfield Railway photos. I see you had a ride on the train hauled by Linda. I like the Scottish photos. They are full of atmosphere, and there's certainly plenty of classic cars to be seen in the first one. I like the way the Derby class 107 forms part of the background in the last photo. With warmest regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much standard operating on the GC many of the freights ran at speeds into the 50s, almost by the time the 9Fs came along traffic was a bit sparse due to the attentions of the midland region, certainly south of Nottingham there wouldn't be that much to cause a signal check.

hmrspaul Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Swithland sidings 9F up freight Jan 64 J091 Lovely photo, the only common wagon is the Medfit at the beginning of the train, then a Pipe, SR 8 plank, which were either mineral or merchandise - converted to vacuum brake, non ventilated insulated meat van and a c1950 2 door mineral - I think the rarer rivetted ones.

AberdeenBill Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 It is certainly atmospheric; I can almost see my breath condensing! Wonderful shot. Is the Peak shunting?

Poor Old Bruce Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Does anyone know when the Hunslet Robert Nelson was built. Robert Nelson No.4 (presumably there were others with different numbers) was Hunslet Works Number 1800 of 1936. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
