dvdlcs Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 And an interesting EMU behind the 73 on the right. Looks like an all blue front end, unless the yellow panel was very small. I'm reading the unit number on the end as 3114, although I may be mistaken. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium keefer Posted May 16, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 16, 2020 Is it a 4-COR? In which case there will be a yellow panel on the gangway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Geep7 Posted May 16, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 16, 2020 Definitely 4-Cor units. Most likely on a Waterloo-Reading line service. I'd say this is most likely late 60's, probably around 1968'ish with the small yellow panel on the Cor.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the 33 and the 73 in the pic have the new data panel vinyl stickers which would make it mid '68 at the very earliest Edited May 16, 2020 by Rugd1022 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have realised myself with the preserved unit, 3142, being in the same number series. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted September 12, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 12, 2020 A few from my collection - dated May 2016 and used with photographer's permission. 73138 on road 18 at the RTC site. 73139 was vinyled up to advertise RVEL - visible from passing trains. The other side was plain grey This is from May 2013 - showing 73211/73104 stripped back to bare metal and new plating welded into place. They were to become 73951/73952 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted September 25, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) More track recording action at Pulborough. 73961 heads the 11:31 Tonbridge West Yard - Seaford on 24th September.

RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted September 26, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 26, 2020 Thanks. That will be the same combination that passed through back in July then - see my post from 2nd July. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted October 26, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Realtime Trains was reporting something interesting today. A mystery Southern service running between Hastings, Brighton, Bognor, and thence the Stewarts Lane. It was pathed as a diesel engine. Intriguing...and there was one candidate which came to mind; 73202, which I hadn't yet seen in its Southern Garb. Given the South west to North East direction of the Arun Valley line through my local station, the evening sun meant I needed to be a little more adventurous trying to get a picture. This picture was taken just below Pulborough Castle - basically a pile of earth. My hunch was right, and bang on time 73202 headed along the embankment across the Arun flood plain forming the 0Z53 15:18 Bognor - Stewarts Line TMD. Sadly a combination of light, zoom and the fact it was moving quite swiftly conspired against me, and the loco is a bit blurred. Still, you can tell what it is... Any bright ideas what the purpose of this manoeuvre was? Edited March 31, 2022 by Claude_Dreyfus Fixed Photo 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted November 14, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) 73s on RHTT action, and the first this winter I have managed to catch. 73109 heads the 10:35 Tonbridge West Yard - Tonbridge West Yard southbound through Pulborough station. I quite like the fighter plane motif on the cabsides... 73201 was at the other end, seem here on the return journey.

RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted November 27, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) Pulborough again, and this time 73136 is doing the honours.

RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted February 6, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) Just over two months later, another 73 from the same location. 73119 operates the 0Y73 12:00 Tonbridge - Tonbridge via Chichester light engine move. Perhaps a route learning journey? Edited March 31, 2022 by Claude_Dreyfus Fixed Photo 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
