I think I have found out why all RMWeb messages were getting sent to Spam. Having exhausted every possibility with Virgin and Thunderbird, I finally prodded something on my mobile, and that seems to have done the trick. Why that should be, I have no idea. Pictures. the 02, plodding onwards, passes a D11 which will take the 1000 to Grimsby. On the down main, Woolwinder comes through with the White Rose. 27 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium great northern Posted August 20, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 20, 2020 A better supported poll, despite concerns over the area covered, which I will try to avoid today. Two main contenders, and in the end Hexham 5 Bishop Auckland 3 was the score. Today then our country junction staions will lie anywhere north of the Newcastle to Carlisle line and up to a line running from North Berwick to Greenock. And so finally Graham...... the time has come. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love shots like this, so full of atmosphere. Possibly just a little bit of cropping (if you can be bothered); I'd lose a little bit of the bottom and right hand side to get the loco in the bottom-right 'golden section' position. 2 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarrMan Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Such a choice for this one. Riccarton Junction? Redesmouth Junction? But I will go for Carstairs Junction, for the Dolphinston branch, as well as the Edinburgh line. Apart from the psychiatric hospital, not a lot else there, so definitely bucolic, despite being on the WCML. Lloyd 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodcock29 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I don't know this area at all but I 'd like to support Graham now he can legitimately go for Reedsmouth Jct! So Reedsmouth Jct for me. Andrew 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37Oban Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Reedsmouth Jct for me too. Or should it be Redesmouth Jct as it spelled on various maps? When did the spelling change? Roja 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNER4479 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) According to Wikipedia (which is never wrong, of course), Redesmouth is the modern spelling of the settlement; Reedsmouth is the old version. The river Rede has a confluence with the north Tyne there, hence the name. New one on me! Edited August 20, 2020 by LNER4479 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted August 20, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 20, 2020 I am going to controversial and nominate Deadwater. I know it isn't a physical railway junction but it is the nearest station between the junction of England and Scotland. Plus it is the English version of the Norman name Mortemer. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the two spellings were interchangeable, at least at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. An OS six inch map from 1888-1913 has it has Redesmouth but a Bartholomew half inch map of 1897-1907 has it has Reedsmouth! Roja 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNER4479 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I'm with you - I'd have laid money on 'rede' being an olde worlde word. In some respects, perhaps it is. This from the Wiki entry for the river: The name of the river derives from the Old English Rēade, meaning the red one. The river lends its name to Redesmouth, the point where the mouth is. Meanwhile, been musing whether I can do proper justice to the station within my 'last great project' plan - think I might be able to! Anybody know of the location being modelled previously? 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume like others that you've worked from carriage working books and or prototype pictures. Do you have a spreadsheet that describes the consists. Would that make a good starting point for an article? Could you give any further pointerstell to determine what goes into the rakes. I've got Robert Carroll's PDFs for 1958/60. Where else should I look? Thanks. Edited August 20, 2020 by davidw Addition and spelling 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
