RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted November 24, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 24, 2015 D402 would be about December 1967 when I used to walk along there to get to the canteen and D8325 about January 1968 when I was working just behind where the loco is parked Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
62613 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Hi, I think the Ivatt is Trafford Park , 73088 is Bournemouth and the BoB/WC are Nine Elms Tony Is it at Heaton Mersey? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall5 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 The first one certainly looks like Carnforth to me. Ray.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike2steam Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 8F - Rose Grove ( Burnley) Crosti - Speke Junction ( Liverpool), not to sure about this though !! (I think ??) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 65179 Posted November 25, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 25, 2015 Is it at Heaton Mersey? The northlight roofed shed behind the Ivatt 2-6-2T doesn't fit either Trafford Park or Heaton Mersey in the period of the photo. Unfortunately that doesn't help identify where it actually is taken though! Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leander Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I agree with bike2steam, the second one looks like Rose Grove. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 On the Carnforth photo, the loco behind the Brush 4 near the turntable does look remarkably like a Brush Type 2 - which would be almost unthinkable in the mid 60s. I'm sure that it is just a trick of the light, and blowing the image up just results in pixellating, but if it was it would be a rarity. Actually, calming down a little I suspect that it could be a class 28. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears to have got a light grey band low down on the body side. My money would be on it being a Metrovick Co-Bo, but untypically clean for that time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Controller Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I think the Wickham trolley is in Eastleigh works (there's an 07 in the background) The Hunslet's on the Isle of Wight. No idea for the two North British Type 2. The 07 is somewhere in Southampton Western Docks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted November 25, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 25, 2015 The NB Type 2s might be at Par. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Controller Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Could the Wickham be at Southampton Docks? And I've never seen a DB 96xxxx number on a Wickham trolley before Bill Looking again at the photo, I think you're correct, Bill. The sawtooth roof to the left of the trolley seems to be the same as the one in the photo of the 07. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted November 26, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 26, 2015 The NB Type 2s might be at Par. They are definitely at Par - the Newquay branch platform looking east. I think the Wickham trolley is in Southampton Docks (look at the locos in the background) as, of course, is the picture at bottom right. I'm fairly sure that D2554 is on the Isle of Wight.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted November 26, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 26, 2015 D2554 was the only 05 to receive a TOPS number of 05001 and was exiled to the IoW in 1966. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 65179 Posted November 26, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 26, 2015 Photos 1-3 are Tebay. There's a very similar one of 42134 on the net in basically the same position (search images for 42134 and Tebay). 75037 and 39 were also allocated to Tebay and 75032 seems also to be shown there. Don't know about 41264, but it ended its working life in Carlisle. The remaining photos seem to be taken at a roundhouse - Carlisle Upperby?

Porcy Mane Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Almost certain that the diesels are in Tebay shed. The Clayton would be one of the Shap duty bankers. P Edit: Here's a phot. https://flic.kr/p/dGtJgA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike2steam Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Tebay was a straight shed, the diesels look as though they're in a 'roundhouse'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted November 26, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 26, 2015 Tebay was a straight shed, the diesels look as though they're in a 'roundhouse'. thats what 65179 has suggested a couple of posts above all i can add about these picture is what a fascinating set of 'photograph the mundane' pics they are, to me they show what the real railway was like in 'the olden days' rather than chasing railtours, sparkling locos etc, and the out of the ordinary pics where he has photographed a special working are capturing the unusual side of things, I absolutely love the shots of Silloth a couple of pages back, first time ive seen pics of there from trackside, didnt realise there was a turntable, we have a caravan there and the old trackbed runs along the edge of the site (we're just the other side of the overbridge in the pictures) the bridge is still in situ and you can still see where the telegraph poles curve away from the town towards abbeytown jn keep em coming Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
