Nobody believed me when I said that an S&T gang on loan to us from Oswestry District turned up at Saltley ... SECR Brake Third No.2302 built by Metropolitan in 1900 - became Southern No.3256 ( Dia.145 ) and ran in set No.909 - demoted to service stock No.1719S in 1942 .... "must have been west of Exeter when those lines were transferred to the Western Region, for it spent the rest of its long life on the WR. It travelled around a lot, being seen at Southall, Friary Jcn.,Banbury and Tyseley. The end finally came around 1970" according to Phil Coutanche ( SE&CR Carriages : Lightmoor 2007 ) where another photo can be found. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithMacdonald Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Some SR and GWR coaches a long long way from home territory - at the Kyle of Lochalsh terminus. Quote On a June evening in 1968, D5330 stands at the head of an Inverness train consisting of three ex-SR parcels vans and three coaches, the last of which I now think was an ex-SR Observation Car. Nearer to the right, between another ex-SR parcels van and three LNER/BR-pattern fish vans is a real rarity for Scotland - a GWR-pattern Hawksworth bogie brake. On the far side of the station there can be seen the roofs of three coaches, the middle low-pitched one of which is an ex-HR coach that would be in departmental use. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Green too Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 The observation Car is not 'SR' of course - but Pullman Car Company ....... though the Devon Belle did run on the Southern. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted August 6, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) Though not Flickr, here are a couple of old photocopies of what appear to be either an ex-GNR or GER coach. I acquired this from the late Nigel Hunt's effects. He modelled both of these railways so one would assume that that it was from one of those. A wonderful study in dereliction.

Wickham Green too Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 With that elliptical roof it's definitely not GER - and looks very GNR : No.42853 was a Howlden 45' Brake Composite of 1899 according to Nick Campling's Historic Carriage Drawings Vol.1. 2 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted August 6, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) I didn't take much notice of this one until I saw the bogies on the lav compo - I would have expected to see Spencer-Moulton Gresleys on it? Or was this type also built by the GNR perhaps? Edited August 6, 2023 by Bucoops Spencer Moulton not Moulton Spencer... 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Green too Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Lots of earlier ( & lighter ? ) Gresley coaches had Fox bogies. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more details with the photo itself other than August 1959 and 'a local service'. .... but one of the contributors comments said "As this is a Saturday and the BSE to Liverpool Street stock can be seen stabled on the Thetford branch this is almost certainly the SO 07.45 BSE to Marks Tey. The LS train departed at 07.58. The train should have been a dmu. BSE depot closed at the turn of 1958/9. On M-F the 07.45 was a through train to Norwich via Colchester! The tender certainly seems well filled." This is an amazing Sherlock Holmes style deduction resulting from spotting the Liverpool St. stock stabled in the far distance and can just be seen to the right of the J15. That seems to confirm my hope that it was a Marks Tey service via Long Melford - very usefull as I am with a group modelling Lavenham in P4. Wonderful photos on the Robert Gadson/ Flickr site. I particularly liked the photo of the 309 electric unit passiing Colchester diesel depot as after electrification, I travelled to school on them in the 60s. We just referred to them as 'red electrics' in those days when all the other EMUs were green. Thanks again Keith 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
