Porcy Mane Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Come on boys, No need to get uppity about Upperby. I did say, "almost certain". Now here's a pic of D5700 taken at Upperby that possibly wasn't taken at the same time as the pic of D5700 at Upperby in post #471. https://flic.kr/p/eM2Mfk Aug 1967 P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRU Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 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 Very kind words, Jim. Unfortunately I do not have any contact details for the photographer. The only chance I may have of seeing him is at the KWVR winter gala next February. If I do see him I will pass on all your comments. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted November 26, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 26, 2015 Last three look like Crewe works. Second one is Crewe near to the Tender Shop, as is the third I think.

Chris Turnbull Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I did see 64690 at March along with 64687, 64691, 64696 and 64699 and I remember them being stored with a cloth tied over their chimneys so it was probably late 1962. I was very excited as they represented the total remaining members of class J20 at the time. No photos, sadly, as I was only a lad and didn't own a camera.

pH Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 That looks like the Carstairs coaling plant behind the two Caley bogies, and the roof of what would then be the shed building (to the right of the coaler) is in the right place. But I can't place the wall on the left on the plan of the shed I'm looking at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can't place the wall on the left on the plan of the shed I'm looking at. It does indeed. If you're looking at the same track plan as me in the Hawlins and Reeve book, it's dated 1910, but it does show something which could be a wall in this location.

RMweb Premium Ian Smeeton Posted November 28, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 28, 2015 Not positive about the two Caley Bogies, but could they be at Ardrossan, on the line which used to form the triangle between Ardrossan Town an d the Largs Branch?

This looks like the right-hand engine in the 'puzzle pic' - wall behind, open door on the coal wagon and rather bigger than usual bag on the chimney - https://www.flickr.com/photos/44544845@N08/8676621312 Also, the Inverness coal tower has the little structure on the roof that's there in the 'puzzle pic', which wasn't there in pictures of the Carstairs tower - http://m.ipernity.com/#/doc/panchromatica/7410329 Edit - I would say this is definite proof! - https://www.flickr.com/photos/44544845@N08/albums/72157633334933519 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochinvar Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Yes,pH,Inverness for sure. That siding by the wall (with Millburn Rd. on the other side) was the penultimate resting-place for a number of withdrawn locos from 60As parish. And thanks for drawing my attention to Roger Smith's pics.,which I hadn't come across previously. Some nice stuff there....though that J11 at Retford is a bit of an interloper, DR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRU Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 The Royal Scot is carrying the shedplate 41A. Can I assume that is where it is photographed? Darnall seems a strange allocation for a Scot. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
