Yard End photo plank

[SouthernBlue80s]

I got this out again,  all the old pictures were lost in the big outage.

33053 as I remember her in the early 80s.

Thanks Kevin. I am going to see if I have any of the old photos about.

These are all seem to be able to find, so I will take new pictures of my expanded collection of locos and stock.

That is the world I grew up in (give or take a few DMU’s).  Perfectly captured - thanks for bringing this back, Keith.

Thanks Keith.

Early 80s BR blue was the world I grew up in too, full of atmospheric memories. so I did my best to recreate a tiny bit of it.

Taken just now. This is my first time in months I have had time to do anything railway.

Next visitor is 37034.

Great to see this photo plank again - I'd forgotten just how good it was.
Perfect grot, grime, rust, dust and weeds :)

First couple of wagons to be photographed. I only have a camera phone these days.

Ferry Waggons.

I am hoping to eventually recreate a typical Dover Town working.

Nice shots of these two ferry wagons. I do like the weathering you have achieved on these wagons.😊

25190 has turned up at the run fown yard end sidings. This loco always seemed to follow me about. So I had a soft spot for it.

Southern CCT with early 80s grime.

Reworked 50037 into that dirty late 70s early 80s state. I keep meaning to get hold of a large logo 50 and lightly weather it as a contrast.

 

 

 

Iooking at the pictures, I think the roof could do with a bit more work

@SouthernBlue80s your photo plank is very good. I like the grotty looks to the diesels and wagons. Brings back so many memories growing up.
