Rivercider Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Here are a couple more pictures taken by my brother Steve. They would have been taken between July 1980, when he joined the WR Civil Engineers in Bristol, and July 1986 when he moved to the SR Civil Engineers in Croydon on promotion. I think this is taken in Worcester, (SJR) Some grampus in the snow, probably also Worcester, (SJR) cheers 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Trainshed Terry Posted March 2, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 2, 2012 Not sure if this should be here but here is Ouse Valley viaduct from an unusual angle albeit in model form. Reminds me of a photo of the viaduct at Chappel in Essex. Terry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Taken from the Dyserth Branch, Class 40 No.40097 is passing Prestatyn with the 11.12 Trafford Park-Holyhead Freightliner on 4th August 1979. Progress has eliminated telegraph poles, goods yards, Class 40s and container trains to Holyhead. It will continue to eliminate bullhead track and semaphore signals.... 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southernman46 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Some lovely stuff here - love the B&W rail ends in the snow, a few from me Rubgy station roof circa 1984 after an all-nighter when watching the freight was worth freezing your nuts off for.... Yes - you've seen the photo in "Diesels West of Paddington" - this is my plaguarized effort - Taplow station footbridge Adams Radial (that's a beautiful engine) on the Bluebell Pretty standard but I like it - Folkestone bound boat train (MLV on the back - see the debate!) @ Paddock Wood New Cross Sunset - east end of Gillingham EMU sidings 1986 Probably my fav. - love the way the glass draws the eye to the subject...........or does the 4-VEP draw the eye to the glass ????? 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 A bit of creative reality distortion here, a composite of three separate shots. You can still see the joins if you look hard enough, particularly below the bridge. The worst thing was that the lighting levels, camera angle and possibly zoom level had all changed slightly between shots. If I went back to do it, I'd set up a tripod and kept the same framing.

coachmann Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Messing about around the shed (Lees) in 1960. The 'Crab' wasnt ours. I thought at the time it made a neat contrast with the Austerity design and solid bogie wheels..... An attempt to replicate it with Bachmann locos a few years ago.... 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
