RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted April 2, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 2, 2017 OK, I suppose you could say that I am being a bit unfair using Dad's photos, but they seem quite popular. I will include this one and then offer a wildcard. Let's see what a wildcard brings forth. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted April 2, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) I assume we are allowed ex-LMS on ex-GWR - This one is almost 20 years before the closure of Swindon Works, in 1986 and steam had gone by the end of the 1960s, so I am not the only one thinking that pre-1970 is OK. As for the next photo, can we have a goods train within five miles of the south coast, of England Edited April 2, 2017 by phil_sutters 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted April 2, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) At least one! I had a nice 08 one as well - http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/gallery/album/4096-modern-1990s-onwards-miscellaneous/ How about an Essex terminus? Sorry if it's a tricky one. There seem to be 7 on the Network Rail map, apart from any preserved lines. The best I can do is Chingford, which is just over the border in Greater London. I am sure I took one of Harwich Town some years back, but I can't find it. Edited April 2, 2017 by phil_sutters 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieB Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) Essex termini? That's playing to my strong suit, particularly when it isn't specified whether the stations are open or closed. So, to be even-handed, here's one of each... Exhibit A - the former elaborate station buildings at Maldon East. This is a shot from 1977, when the buildings were more accessible and not surrounded by parked cars. Maldon was seen as quite an important town and its coat of arms incorporated into the Great Eastern Railway's armorial device. Exhibit B - from a train about to reverse out of what was then known as St Botolph's, taken in 1975. The station has since been renamed Colchester Town and now acts as a terminus for an hourly service from Liverpool Street, in addition to trains serving Clacton and Walton (apparently now called "the sunshine coast") reversing in and out of the station, as before. There is a famous, much reproduced photo in the NRM collection of an asian elephant being loaded on to a train here. The next one will be a locomotive in a class of its own.

Class 31/4 on LT stock at Norton Junction, Worcestershire - 1976 The train will go in to the yard at Shrub Hill to reverse before returning through Norton, taking the left hand fork to Evesham, Honeybourne, Long Marston - and a date with the scrappy at Birds Phil Edited April 3, 2017 by Phil Bullock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted April 3, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) I think I'll play my 08 set here - While waiting at Oxford for a train back to London, 08 507 rolled into the up platform from the south. In tow was 47 425, what I took to be a barrier coach and a dead dmu. So I conjectured that the dmu had failed, somewhere between Didcot and Oxford. 47 425 had been sent to the rescue and had failed itself and then the Osney sidings shunter had had to haul the lot into Oxford. Alas - beaten to it! Why didn't I see Phil's tube train scrap delivery? He must have been editing it. I see the website's clock is still on GMT. But as Phil 2 says - And next?
