RMweb Premium melmerby Posted September 24, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) Following on from "Southern" I would have expected to go through the other compass points! e.g. Northern, Western, Eastern. (or maybe even include "Midland") to cover the main railway name designations, here and abroad.

Would that have influenced the choice? The S&D had their own pub close to the station The Somerset & Dorset Hotel. Of course a GWR green king might have travelled on the Bristol & Exeter line a mile or two to the east, although I am not sure that they were allowed across the Somerset Levels.

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted September 24, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 24, 2017 Maybe that would make a good photo challenge for tomorrow? Pub signs/names etc. with a railway connection. e.g. in Aberystwyth there is "Y Hen Orsaf" A 'Spoons establishment Similarly eating & drinking establishments overseas.

As far as I know, Ivatt's wide-firebox GNR Atlantics* were never a regular sight in the GER heartland of Bury St Edmunds! *The distinction is important as Ivatt's GNR Atlantic tanks (LNER C12) were fairly common there around the time of nationalisation - perhaps the sign painter misheard the instruction.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted September 24, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) A few more from my travels last Thursday. My transport arrives at Blackburn One of the 150s was the recently refurbished 150136. Bright interior to fool people that this is a 30 year old train. This forms the Blackburn-Wigan service via Burnley, Todmorden and Manchester. Confusing to the average traveller at Manchester Victoria as trains to Blackburn depart in opposite directions....... Northern 158 and a WY Metro 333 at Leeds. A 158/156 combo at Nottingham Cheers, Mick Edited September 24, 2017 by newbryford 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieB Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) Some "establishments" with a railway connection. First of all "The Railway" which is opposite the closed former station at Saffron Walden, and built in a sympathetic yellow-brick (from a local source). I have no explanation of how it came to have a sign which features an SLM Mallett tank of the Chemin de Fer du Vivarais (CFV). There's a clue in the name of the North Euston Hotel at Fleetwood, although never a railway building. It was built by a local landowner (and designed by Decimus Burton) in the 1840s, before the construction of the railway over Shap, when passengers travelling from London Euston connected with a coastal shipping service to reach Scotland. Finally, a restaurant at Istanbul Sirkeci station just had to be named for the famous train which terminated there.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted September 25, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 25, 2017 Going back to the compass theme. How about North and Northern today? I'll kick it off with one of the early variants of the Northern Rail livery - angled stripes on a 156. Cheers, Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bingley hall Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) Former Australian National GM22, freshly painted in the colours of short-lived open access operator Great Northern Rail Services, at Islington Works, South Australia on 16 November 1998. GM22 was originally built by Clyde Engineering for the Commonwealth Railways in 1962, now owned by Southern Shorthaul Railroad and still active. I was pretty much a steam snob and more interested in partying while travelling across North America in the summer of 1981, and much to my later regret largely ignored the local railscene. Just occasionally I would have a moment of weakness. Arriving on a Greyhound bus at Grand Forks, North Dakota I caught a glimpse of this F9A/B lash up sitting 'on shed'. Luckily the Greyhound had a 15-20 minute scheduled stop, so I quickly legged it back to grab just this one shot.

EddieB Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) This topic really gets my goat! Here is former DSB MY1108, at the time (2001) one of two locos acquired by Tågåkeriet i Bergslagen in Sweden, painted and lettered in tribute to the Great Northern Railway (not Railroad) of the USA - complete with that company's famous mountain goat emblem. (A case of rescuing an under-exposed slide as the specular reflection had fooled my dear T90's meter - thank Fuji for the latitude of Provia!)
