RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted September 29, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 29, 2018 Supereb photos again Dave. I like the class 128 DPU poking it's face out from under the bridge in DAS000757 - but what is that 3-colour splodge near the Signal Box? Kev. Negative fault - some are slightly damaged and unfortunately 1 frame was lost completely, I did manage to scan it first although it was badly marked. It will appear eventually, a Peak passing Dore and Totley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 100%; Who would have thought Wigan on a wet Sunday (DAS00737) could look so appealing ?! Thanks again Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvdlcs Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Re: DAS00761 The wagon prefix is unlikely to be DH. DM or perhaps DW? The second letter tended to be the region, so Midland or Western in this case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium iands Posted September 29, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 29, 2018 Hi Dave, Yet more great photos, again, many thanks for all your efforts in sharing them with the rest of us. DAS000756 particularly interesting with the line up of parcel vans in the background, at least 3 different paint schemes - so much for standardisation!

The second letter tended to be the region, so Midland or Western in this case. It'll be DM xxxxxx- the wagon's a 'Sole' 12t ballast open, built to an LMS design, The wagon ends are inset about 6" from the headstocks, which gives a distinctive appearance.
