johnw1 Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 On This Day in History – Ratcliffe On Soar – 14th July 1972 A favourite lineside spot when I was a lad was Ratcliffe on Soar which is located just south of Ratcliffe Power Station and the relatively new East Midlands Parkway station. To get there from Clifton entailed a cycle ride along the now notorious A453, something I would not recommend today. Class 20 (8016/73/83, 8135/93), class 25 (7563), class 45 (25/90, 103/07/23/34) A number of the above were photographed later in life and can be found in this collection.

Lenton South Junction Class 20 (8037, 8158), class 25 (7523) Trowell Junction Class 20 (8007/47, 8137/47/59/73/97), class 31 (5813), class 37 (6811), class 45 (63/93, 118), class 46 (163), class 47 (1806/23/27/77) Toton Class 08 (3026/29, 3404), class 20 (8006/61/63/64, 8114/38/41/43/47/48/50/52/62/76/79/88/89), class 25 (5227/32/42/44, 7500/12/16/29/87, 7602/05/18), class 27 (5375), class 31 (5805), class 44 (2/6/10), class 45 (11/17/37/62/68/76/80/91/97, 108/26), class 47 (1519/46, 1694, 1729/41/59, 1824/29) Of note are 1519, one of the original batch of twenty class 47’s which did not often stray from the ECML, the ill fated 7605 which would be destroyed three years later just “down the road†at Lenton South Junction and class 27 5375 which is a reminder that during the 1960’s half the class 27 fleet were Midland Main Line engines. Also at this time Toton was receiving class 20’s transferred from the London area and from Scotland and on this day I saw for the first time 8006/07 ex London and 8114 ex Scotland.

RMweb Gold Downendian Posted July 19, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 19, 2012 July 1975 week ending 19/7/75 was the first major cull of class 24s. Scottish and some LMR 24s 24001-008/010-012/024-027/029/031/ 065/095 were all put in store. 24 025/026/929 and 031 at Crewe depot, 24 006 at Eastfield, 24 003 at Polmadie and a further 10 at Cadder yard, In those days without the speed of the Internet we could only find out from the monthly edition of modern railways, which we normally scanned with horror to see which Westerns had their call. I had not expected the 24s to go, and relished that May when Crewe was swarming with these wonderful little type 2s. My source of information on this and when I first found out was on delivery of my monthly Inter City Railway Society newsletter - not till September was this reported. Incidentally 1200 Falcon was put in store this week 37 years ago as well. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnw1 Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 On this day in History - North Nottinghamshire – 20th July 1969 The school holidays have just started and forty two years ago on the day that man first set foot on the moon it was out with the push bike for the forty mile plus round trip to Shirebrook calling in on the way at the old steam shed at Kirkby in Ashfield which was still being used as a stabling point. Kirkby in Ashfield MPD Class 20 (8010/12/16/39/40/45/47/48/59/62/68/91, 8111/14/37/44/57/62/67/71/72/74/81/85/91/96), class 45 (66), class 47 (1752, 1807/31) Shirebrook MPD Class 08 (3325), class 10 (4057/66/69), class 31 (5584, 5684/87, 5806/14/19/23/24/26/30/33/35/44), class 47 (1518/24, 1791, 1801/97/99, 1998), Brush Prototype HS4000. Of note are 1518, one of the original batch of twenty class 47’s which did not often stray from the ECML passenger duties, what that was doing at Shirebrook, a freight depot I do not know. HS 4000 of course was the Brush Type 5 prototype Kestrel and was at this time on trial with British Rail and a Tinsley engine. It was regularly out-stationed at Shirebrook working coal trains to Whitemoor yard, March. Also at this time Toton was receiving class 20’s transferred from the London area and from Scotland and on this day I saw for the first time 8010/12 ex London and 8111 ex Scotland.

johnw1 Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Joh: did you ever see anything on the old GC? I once saw a 46 at the Brirtish Gypsum works at East Leake, rushed back for my camera, but it had gone. Around 1974. My first lineside visits as a young lad was to Ruddington around 1965 when the traffic was almost all steam (no records survive) with the highlight being the Darnall EE Type 3 (class 37) on the afternoon Bournemouth - York!!!!!!!! By 1966 I was old enough to be allowed to go to Lenton South Junction on the Midland which was far more interesting and so abandoned the GC, although I did travel on the DMU from Nottingham Arkwright Street to Rugby Central in 1969 just before it closed completley to passenger traffic.

johnw1 Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 On this day in History - Mystery Excursion – 26th July 1970 A popular business venture by British Rail in the late 1960’s and 1970’s was the Mystery Excursion where you bought a ticket for a day out by train without knowing where you were going. In this case through knowing someone in the local control office I actually knew where I was going when I boarded the train at Nottingham station. We left behind two class 25’s (7524, 7649) for a run to Morecambe on the north west coast via Derby, the Hope Valley and Manchester. Class 03 (2130, 2386/88), Class 08 (3037, 3246/53/54/83/86/93, 3310/40/71, 3404/05/10, 3571/73/77/80/81/89, 3783, 3845/54, 4030), class 11 (12098), class 17 (8521), class 20 (8136/59), class 24 (5012/90/96/99), class 25 (5156/69/72/73/74/77/81/97, 5227/67/76/81/87, 7518/24/51/70/72, 7608/35/36/49/73/76), class 27 (5359), class 37 (6802/68), class 40 (202/13/49/94, 300), class 45 (13/44/57/96/97, 111/23), class 47 (1508/15, 1633/35, 1850, 1946/56), class 50 (418), class 84 (E3038) Locomotives of note are: 3037 which on withdrawal in December 1972 became snowplough ADB966510, which was not a success and was broken up in March 1979, 12098 which would be withdrawn a few months later in February 1971, sold to NCB for further use, entered preservation but was broken up as recently as June 2006, 8521 withdrawn in October 1968 and used by BR Research at Derby as a mobile Generator, broken up in October 1978, E3038 was at the Derby Research Centre at a time when the whole class was stored unserviceable, 5359 what was this Scottish engine doing so far south around Preston, and finally train engine 7524 which would be an early class 25 casualty due to accident damage. On the 5th August 1976 25174 (7524) coupled to 25030 was involved in an accident (being hit by runaway wagons) at Aylesbury. 25174 suffered a crushed cab, however whatever damage 25030 suffered was not as visible. After the collision 25030 and 25174 were initially taken to Cricklewood, where 25030 was withdrawn. On the 9th August 1976 both headed north to Derby Works, 25030 for component recovery and breaking up and 25174 for evaluation. They arrived just in time for the Annual Open Day, with 25174 parked in the Works arrival sidings, a location where its crushed cab was visible to most visitors who toured the Works. The evaluation proved to be the end of 25174 as it was withdrawn in September 1976 and it would lie rotting at Derby until June 1978 before being broken up A number of the above were photographed later in life and can be found in this collection.

johnw1 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 On this day in History - Grantham – 1st August 1973 A mid week summers day (Wednesday) spent sitting on Grantham station watching the traffic. Class 08 (3074), class 25 (5190), class 31 (5698), class 40 (258), class 46 (170/92), class 47 (1101/03/04/06/08/09, 1510/14/25/32/41/42/45, 1620/91, 1778/79, 1869, 1970/88), class 55 (9001/02/04/05/07/08/10/11/12/13/14/16/17/18/19/20/21). On this day I saw seventeen out of twenty two Deltics in service, this representing an availability of at least 77%. Of the five not seen this day 9000/03/09 were in Doncaster works undergoing classified repair (Intermediate/Light/Intermediate respectively), 9006 was making its way from Edinburgh to Doncaster works (which it entered the following day) for an unclassified repair (No.1 power unit change) and 9015 was spare or on exam at Finsbury Park. Also of note is the fact that at this point in time Grantham still had the requirement for a class 08 pilot engine (3074) out-stationed from Lincoln (40A). 3074 still exists as 08060 on the Cholsey and Wallingford Railway. A number of the above were photographed later in life and can be found in this collection.

johnw1 Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 On this Day in History - Barry – Swansea – 4th August 1971. The family holiday in 1971 was to Barry Island, South Wales and it was the last year I went on holiday with them. The family holiday was the one time in the year that I would have a day out on the railways with my Dad in tow. He was not the slightest bit interested in railways but always felt that this was the time to take a more direct interest in my hobby and spend a day with his son. I had already dragged him round the graveyard of steam the previous year, so in 1971 we had a day out to Swansea and this is what we saw that day.

Rugd1022 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) A day late with this one as night shift has intervened... 5th August 1982, a dismally grey but very humid day at Paddington, struggling to get anything decent with a poorly Kodak Instamatic... 50 013 'Agincourt'... 50 047 'Swiftsure'... I've lost my notes of that day so there are gaps in this list, but seventeen 50s were seen at the terminus with some still in 'plain' blue livery... 50 002 / 007 / 011 / 013 / 019 / 023 / 031 / 035 / 046 / 047 / 050 (six missing from the list), also various WR named 47s and Old Oak's 'skinhead' stalwarts 31 117 and 121 ever present on ecs duties, 31 261 and snowplough fitted 31 273 also on ecs, plus 37 189 on a parcels from Didcot and 45 134 on the Liverpool - Padd.
