RMweb Gold Market65 Posted April 2, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 2, 2020 Good afternoon, David. I like the High Dyke photo’s which all show various aspects of the location. All are of interest, and it’s incredible to believe that the most recent photo’ is nearly forty years ago! In C1760, in August, 1974, you can see what may be ashes quietly burning on the line around the back of the signal box. Also it shows some of the lovely semaphore signals clearly. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW in the book 'BR Coaching Stock in Colour since 1960 (Robert Hendry, Ian Allan 2006) there is a picture of 314215 with what the author believes to be a red double arrow, however this is actually just the less-faded paintwork left when the black double arrow was removed post-privatisation ! AFAIR the unpainted Aluminium finish PEP prototype coaches (in 2001 originally) used red double arrows and lettering...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted April 3, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 3, 2020 Good afternoon, David. I like all of the Carlisle photo’s which are full of interest. In the first one, with a class 86, on a London Euston to Glasgow and Edinburgh express in April, 1987, the dull weather has emphasised how the right marker light is much brighter than the one on the left. Hopefully a fault which would be made good as soon as possible. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted April 4, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 4, 2020 Good evening, David. I like the Blyth and Tyne photo’s which are full of interest. In the first one, at Seghill looking north, on the 5th August, 1985, you have a view which captures so well the semi dereliction of the line by that date with one line out of use. And there must have been quite a wait at the level crossing in J8556, at Bedlington Station, with the class 101 on The Chevy Chase charter, from Newcastle to Blyth and Tyne, in April, 1986. I see people were still looking around on the platform, with the signal on, despite the barriers being down. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted April 5, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2020 It's Sunday once again so it is time for some preserved rauilway photos to go with your coffee. This time we have a few photos from the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway at Haworth and Oxenhope taken in the 70s and 80s.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted April 5, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 5, 2020 Good afternoon, David. I like the K&WVR photo’s which show, so well, the earlier years of that lines life in preservation. The first one of Haworth, with LMS Black 5, 5212, on a Keighley to Oxenhope service in September, 1970, might well have been taken back in steam days before dieselisation and then closure. The Winning photo’s are as full of interest as ever, and in J8343, with 37161, on a down light engine movement, with a brake van, in August, 1985, you have a great portrait of the 37 amongst some typical lineside vegetation.

RMweb Gold russ p Posted April 5, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 5, 2020 Excellent pictures again David I'd forgotten how stylish a 56 in railfreight grey looked. Most classes looked better with the red stripe but when you see a picture like this I think it looked better without it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted April 6, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 6, 2020 Good afternoon, David. I like the Swayfield photo’s which are all full of interest. In J4001, you have 55008, on the up Yorkshire pullman, in August, 1974. It makes a fine sight at the head of that Pullman train, albeit most of the train is formed of air conditioned Mkll stock.

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted April 6, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 6, 2020 Hi Dave, J4001 is not 55008. The nameplate is too high and has no crest. It’s a HA loco and the only one with single line of text to have lost it’s crest so early was 55013. 1 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
