RMweb Premium Blandford1969 Posted April 21, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 21, 2016 Hi can you help identify some unidentified stations and locos. Any help or suggestions would really be appreciated. I think its in Scotland and possibly HR? Edit - confirmed not GNOSR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted April 21, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 21, 2016 LMS isolated striped post distant at the platform end - HR more likely imho (which may be wrong !) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny777 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Is that the sea in the distance? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Blandford1969 Posted April 21, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 21, 2016 It looks very much like the sea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomag Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 If it's HR then it could be Portessie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold stovepipe Posted April 21, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 21, 2016 Somewhere along the Moray coast? Findochty or Buckpool perhaps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Blandford1969 Posted April 21, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 21, 2016 Thanks for the suggestions Findochty or Buckpool sadly don't match, I can't find anything on the Highland station at Portessie, only the GNOSR one.

RMweb Gold stovepipe Posted April 21, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 21, 2016 No you're right they don't. The vertical weatherboarding is similar to the stations on the Wick - Lybster line but the platform gable is again wrong for that line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold stovepipe Posted April 21, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 21, 2016 Possibly Johnshaven on the Montrose and Bervie Railway? https://www.railscot.co.uk/imageenlarge/imagecomplete.php?id=40614 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold stovepipe Posted April 21, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 21, 2016 Hmm yes, and stone lower walls....but the far chimney pot matches the nearest two in the photo above, so it might well be a nearby station. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Blandford1969 Posted April 22, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 22, 2016 I think this is another shot of the same place, it certainly looks like it. Thanks for the suggestions, they are all appreciated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted April 22, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 22, 2016 LMS isolated striped post distant at the platform end - HR more likely imho (which may be wrong !)Could also be Caley or GSW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Cocks Junction Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Suggest Banff Bridge on the GNOSR MacDuff line. Map ref: http://maps.nls.uk/view/82870089 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pH Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I would agree with Banff Bridge. Here's a picture that shows the power line that's in the picture in the OP (coming down the hill just to the left below the building on the skyline). Different poles, but same position. https://www.railscot.co.uk/imageenlarge/imagecomplete.php?id=39392 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Definitely Banff Bridge on the GNSR branch from Inverramsay to Macduff. A similar view (dated 1962, just after closure) appears in "Scottish Branch Lines" (Gammell, OPC 1999). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted April 22, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 22, 2016 There are a couple of photos on ebay at the moment for Banff Bridge showing the same chimney arrangement, here's one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/bb0052-Banff-Bridge-Railway-Station-Scotland-in-1961-photograph-/291698727810?hash=item43ea995b82:g:4nsAAOSwWTRW1xwh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Blandford1969 Posted April 22, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 22, 2016 Thanks for your help on identifying this station. Here is another mystery. The building has a bit of a look of LNWR, someone suggested the Portishead branch, but I could not get a match on any of the stations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted April 22, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 22, 2016 very similar to the LNW halts in the Saddleworth area. Could it be Dobcross on the Delph branch? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Blandford1969 Posted April 22, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 22, 2016 I think you could well be right I did some looking, http://www.ribblevalleyrail.co.uk/Delph/Delph%20Donkey%20Final%201.htm steps up to the platform, the bridge itself http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/269815 and then I found this https://www.flickr.com/photos/thanoz/4334242113/ Unless anyone can really say otherwise, I really think you have got it. Next I've got a William Clarke building by the look of it used on a number of GWR branch lines. Neil Parkhouse in "West Gloucester & Wye Valley Lines" lists the following branches: Gloucester-Ledbury, Brent-Kingsbridge, Bristol-Radstock and (as you supposed) Worcester-Bromyard. I have not managed to get a match. Does anyone recognise it, the key appears to be the telegraph pole beyond Every idea is useful in helping to resolve where these are.

I rode up part of the Delph line this week and I think the building is in a picture on an information board at the site of Dobcross station. It is almost identical to the building that Coachmann built in his Greenfield days based on the one at Moorgate Halt where the Delph branch left the main line.

RMweb Premium Blandford1969 Posted April 23, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 23, 2016 The above has been identified as Rowden Mill on the Leominster to Bromyard railway. Any ideas on this one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
