101 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Thanks very much everyone. I must have had my eyes closed every time I passed Didcot. It was pretty new when that photo was taken the view is very different now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted April 6, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 6, 2016 Yep, definitely Didcot Fuelling Point, you could probably put that photo on the "Purpose built Diesel Depot" thread. Actually constructed as a servicing depot undertaking exams as well as fuelling and built specifically for the Avonmouth - Didcot coal flow (which rather oddly in view of the loco on view, and contrary to my original proposal, was decided by Trainload Coal to be Class 60 haulage although I planned the track layouts to allow for pairs of Class 37s). Thanks very much everyone. I must have had my eyes closed every time I passed Didcot. It all depends which bit you pass through as it is not easily seen from some lines in the area.

jonny777 Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Does anyone recognise this SR station approach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivercider Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Does anyone recognise this SR station approach? 47523 1989.jpg Is that a shunt move propelling out of the platform at Weymouth? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 I think you might be right, Kevin. Although the area has changed a lot since the late 80s when that photo was taken, I managed to float around Streetview until I found this angle and the short row of terraced houses on the right do look the same.

jonny777 Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 I think this is at Manea Cambridgeshire, but there cannot be many 37s with an enlarged headcode. Hopefully the 37 experts can help me out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted May 13, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 13, 2016 I think this is at Manea Cambridgeshire, but there cannot be many 37s with an enlarged headcode. Hopefully the 37 experts can help me out? Definitely Manea, the train is heading in the March direction - can't help with the 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 This working may be of interest, but the location rings no bells in my memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 5BarVT Posted May 17, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 17, 2016 North end bay at Cambridge I think. Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 North end bay at Cambridge I think. Paul. Well, thankyou kind Sir. It is so easy when you know the answer, but quite stressful trying to work it out when you don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold russ p Posted May 17, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 17, 2016 Looks like the 47 is propelling the unit to the depot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 I didn't realise there were bays that were not wired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Looks like the 47 is propelling the unit to the depot Presumably the loco had hauled the failed unit into the bay in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold russ p Posted May 18, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 18, 2016 I didn't realise there were bays that were not wired. They are nowadays,that picture was probably taken when Cambridge was the limit of electrification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Turnbull Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Here's a photo of the area on 7th April 2012. The building can be seen behind the 170/2. Chris Turnbull 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Thanks very much Chris. I have not been to Cambridge for years - something that I must remedy soon. Here is another mystery (to me anyway). The signal has the letters 'ES' which must indicate the box it is controlled by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 5BarVT Posted May 22, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 22, 2016 ES4 is on the Up Line (towards Sheffield) at Bamford station. The photo will have been taken from the end of the Up platform. Paul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Thanks for that info Paul and Greatcentral. I think I have posted another from that area before, on this thread, but I still fail to recognise the clues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) I know this could be one of a hundred or so different places, but it rings no bells with me. There may be clues in the background, so does anyone have any thoughts? Edited to add a "blown up" section of the background behind the train showing the signalbox, water tower and sidings. I hope this helps. Edited June 3, 2016 by jonny777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 Oh well. Another blank. Going O/T for a second, does anyone know where Peckfield signal box is? I gather it is somewhere near Selby but I can't find the location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) Peckfield Colliery, just W of Micklefield, according to various sources?
