RMweb Gold russ p Posted February 2, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2, 2017 Not a lot to go on with this photo, but a nice image of a D16. IMG_0953.jpg Could this be Melton aswell? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNERGE Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Could this be Melton aswell? St Ives for sure. The laying down point handle is for the coal drops line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 My immediate thought was this might be Stamford, but that would be some way away from the usual E Anglian haunts. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 31A Posted February 3, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2017 Might be at Witham, coming off the Braintree line? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny777 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 And, using what little logic I possess, this could be the outskirts of Braintree? The smokebox number is difficult to read but looks like 67217. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium DLT Posted February 4, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) Both look like the Kent and East Sussex Railway to me; one of Colonel Stephen's finest and happily still with us. I'm not sure but I think the first one is Bodiam, and the second one Northiam Thanks for sharing all these fascinating pictures. Dave.

jonny777 Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Excellent. Thanks very much. It seems that my unknown photographer might have been on holiday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Does anyone recognise this location? I have tried to read the name on the signalbox but cannot quite make it out. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNERGE Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) Elsenham Edit to add.. I think this location had/has the longest level crossing gates certainly on the Eastern Region. The Liverpool St and Cambridge control phone circuits met here. There was a coupling unit to link the two circuits. I know that because it was the only thing i got from this box when it closed..

RMweb Gold 5BarVT Posted February 6, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 6, 2017 Could it be Elsenham? Consistent with what I can read of the box name, and not inconsistent with the road layout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 5BarVT Posted February 6, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 6, 2017 Elsenham You beat me to it. Should have had confidence and not checked three times! Paul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny777 Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Thanks very much. I would never have found it from my interpretation of the s/box name, which I thought ended 'OUGH'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNERGE Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Another box on the long list of boxes i've plundered, though on this occasion i was merely assisting others to get bits for their railway. The bulk of the recoveries went to the Colne Valley Railway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny777 Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Goodness me, so it is. The cameraman must have been standing in a position which completely obscures all the sidings and signalling at the far end of the station. I like the ground frame for the crossover though; very civilised. Thanks very much for the id. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
