Always liked Newark, with that 47 and almost ex-works 101 taken from the foot crossing. Amazingly the crossing was still open in 2006 albiet as steps over the wall either side of the line, hence the higher viewpoint in this image. Oh, and that brake first is round the wrong way again, or at the wrong end....

 

 

Regards,

Hi, Dave. I like the ECML at Newark photo’s which yet again bring back such great memories. I particularly like J5742, at Newark, with Deltic, 55016, on an Aberdeen to Kings Cross service in August, 1977. Such a fantastic photo’ of a classic Deltic hauled train.

 

With warmest regards,

 

Rob.

I'm very surprised that crossing is still there.

With reference to picture J7094 on Page 602 (seem to have lost the post numbers with the new format), I wonder if the vertical posts on the end of the wagon originally extended below the buffer beam. Don't remember what their purpose was (narrow gauge buffers when on mixed gauge track?) but some old(er) coal wagons had that feature, the vertical posts being trimmed back later in life.

Who decided to Troon that horrible colour makes you feel sick or you think its made of gingerbread !

[Market65]

Hi, Dave. I think I’ve got the like clicked correctly, only I see the buttons have changed today;). Like someone else said, there’s no post numbers today either.

Anyway, I like the Troon photo’s, which are so full of interest. The second one is so different - a lovely reflective view in a window. 

And I love  the last one of 47406 WBHS Troon to Morpeth train, on the 9th May, 1987. A good photo’ which shows how the grey would often weather on blue  and grey coaching stock.

 

With warmest regards,

 

Rob.

Apparently the Post Numbers are now a thing of the past, according to one Post I read, and I can't tell you where I read it, or a Post number, as there isn't / wasn't one.

I think we are just going to have to use page numbers. 

 

I suppose that is what we would do when referencing something from a book.

Now you will never know when you reach your millionth post.

I don't remember Troon being on the Network Southeast map!

Nice photos though I have to agree about the colour of the building.

Twenty five posts to a page - at least there was under the old format :-)

 

Therefore, Page 603, somewhere between post numbers 15051 and 15075.

 

The millionth post should be the last one on page 40000. A while yet...

[SHMD]

Wasn't it 500,000 views?

Or get used to "Share this Post"

 

- clicking the little blobs gives you a link to copy which you can then paste into your own post, either freestanding like this:

or as a URL (click "Display as link instead" as it renders the picture):

 

https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/85326-dave-fs-photos-ongoing-more-added-4th-february/&do=findComment&comment=3456825

 

 

or attached to some text like this (click the chain link button - 5th from the left in the edit box)

 

Methods 1 and 3 were in the old forum software too, although 3 was a bit under-used.

 

Of course none of that helps with previous entries referring to post NNN. Just as well most people have referred to DaveF's photos by his reference number.

A couple of photos at Saltburn but for a change they are not of the station, just something a bit different.

 

The other photos were taken at Urlay Nook, between Darlington and Middlesbrough  on a dull, cheerless and bitterly cold day in February 1987.  I don't think I'd bother going out on a day like that any more.  I feel the cold more now than I did about thirty years ago.

Great pictures David

I love the saltburn ones the colour makes it look like a period postcard

Real shame that the bridge ,ha'penny bridge was blown up in 1974.

Land slides and problems with mine water closed the miniature railway and the boating lake.

Thankfully the railway reopened on a new alignment on the south side of the valley, and luckily the cliff lift has survived too.

Those images remind me of being a small child as we lived there then 

[Market65]

Hi, Dave. I like the photo’s of Saltburn. They are indeed full interest, and I particularly like the first one of  the cliff railway, as it was back in August, 1965. It’s good to know that it has survived.

 

With warmest regards,

 

Rob.

It may have been cold, but that grim weather shows the units up against the greys, afterall, it was February. When I was a toddler living in Stockton we went to Redcar on May Day, we were on the beach when it started snowing.....

 

Will this affect your Flickr site in any way? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-47130138

I've just renewed my flickr subscription for a further 2 years, so the photos will remain visible and will still be added to.

I think today's "Identify the Deltic" photo is a bit too easy

 

Nice photos as always, from my least liked period of the railway!

Its a big box on wheels that whistles!

Looking at these photos of Grantham, it suddenly came back to me that there was at least one (maybe two?) LMS BG's complete with duckets on a siding on the down side of the station. Did anyone happen to grab a photo of them at all?
