RMweb Gold Iain Mac Posted October 17, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 17, 2012 Hi guys. It was all delivered to the publishers yesterday with appropriate correction. That date and the name were caused by miss reading and not by the authors! Mac. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Iain Mac Posted October 22, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 22, 2012 I do hope you like my friends. Its a coffee table tome and although technical to a degree, I trust not too baws deep in jargon. Time will tell gentlemen. I've enjoyed the the process. Well, occasionally! Mac.

Pubs Throught Time? Roy and I have a contact so its likely a goer..... Get drinking boys (just take photos before you do)! I'll start on the Lid, Grapes, Trap (well maybe not) and handle Hawick. Who's doing everywhere else and can I join in please? Mac. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

37175 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Balls .... I spotted that on ebay, didn't recognise the location as anywhere on the WR so didn't bother bidding. Now I know it's Stainton it all makes sense. DOH! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

62440 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Well, if there was a bounty on anyone's head for the senseless destruction of the Waverley it would be the axis of evil, Marsh and Castle, with Beeching and Marples close behind. But I don't mean Waverley's Most Wanted in that sense. No, this is a new thread for parking those Holy Grail items, places or cameos that have eluded Waverlites since 6th January '69, instead becoming entrenched in legend and folklore. In no particular order, here's my Top Ten. Please feel free to add the ones I've missed, and I'll keep this thread fairly close-cropped, so we have a target for research up to date at any given time. To close these out and remove them we really need a photo, although some will probably be information requests that can be answered with signalbox records, track diagrams, official documents, meeting minutes or BR publications. A Class 50 anywhere between Canal Jct and Millerhill (photo) A Class 27 on a service train (photo) Shank Bridge over the A7 (between Lady Victoria Pit and Gorebridge) Stainton Crossing and S/B Fauldmoor Crossing Bush-on-Esk Crossing(s) An 'Up' car train between Longtown and Carlisle post '63 A Longtown trip freight in 1970 The last through Brit, November '67 Last Langholm steam, "late" '67 RAC Rally competitors at Kershopefoot or Newcastleton in November 1967 or '68 en route Kielder There are mine, now over to the crew.... Number 1: A Class 50 anywhere between Canal Jct and Millerhill (photo) D416 approaching Hawick on a diverted mid-day service from Euston to Glasgow Central, I think in the second half of 1968. I was standing next to the photographer with my camera in my pocket. Bruce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

'CHARD Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Shameless bounce, as I haven't stopped recoiling from that money-shot yet. Looks like D416 is an obvious candidate for my first Red Box beauty renumber.... Already got the blanking plates on, just a matter of headcodes and numbers now... I'm guessing the British Thermal Unit generating machine is approaching Mill Path, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the old A7 before that Shank Bridge was eased off the map in 1977/78. Fantastic FIND!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
