RMweb Gold martin_wynne Posted May 9, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 9, 2013 Great pic. Here's a direct link: http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2013/images/04/26/exhibit.bert.hardy/lg.05.jpg "War-Time Terminus, Paddington Station, 1942" (Bert Hardy) from http://cnnphotos.blogs.cnn.com/2013/05/01/briton-captured-the-drama-of-war-and-of-daily-life/ I believe it would be acceptable to hot-link this image, as hot-linking is not a copyright infringement, but I will leave the Mods to add the [img] tags.

BR(S) Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Lots of human interest in this footage from King's Cross in 1956, as well as some lovely shots of steam locos: 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bon Accord Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Seeing the porters in that video triggered a memory, didn't Intercity East Coast reintroduce them at Kings Cross sometime in the early 90's? How long did they last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubber Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Last week I watched this human doing this......where is he? If this is of any interest to RMWebbers, I have more but it's a bit off-centre, interest wise! Doug 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Is it the Schafbergbahn in Austria, featured in Michael Portillo's Great Continental Railway Journeys? I seem to remember some stunning scenery on the route.

Chubber Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Cor! Spot-on, BR(S)......The same programme inspired us to get the caravan out and drive up to Austria from SW France for a visit, we were not disappointed except with the weather on the day of our ascent, which was not the best. I might put up a few more piccies on a separate thread if you think it would appeal to enough members, Doug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69843 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 One from the other week: 'Happy Snap' The shunter at Sydney Terminal, having helped prepare 3642 and 3265 for the run down to Moss Vale takes a photograph of the occasion. After all, it's not every Sunday there is a double header steam special in Sydney... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 A few from the Gloucestershire Warwickshire railway yesterday... Before a trip in the brake van of the freight train from Toddington to Cheltenham, the coal is damped down The photographers are photographed (I guess I will be spoiling a few pictures ) Inside Greet tunnel (not showing any humans, but they were there!) Is it on or off, better check (on subsequent journeys, this signal had been attended to and was properly showing on or off) Waiting at Gotherington Cheltenham waits at Winchcombe, to go to its namesake Waiting to change the token Disposing of 2807 at the end of the day 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bike2steam Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 A veritable gallery of men who were masters of their trade;- http://svsfilm.com/nineelms/men.htm of which 3 were most notable, Reuben Hendicott, Gordon Hooper, and Gordon Porter, the 3 'Nine Elms racers'. When the LSWR pneumatic signalling between Waterloo, and Basingstoke was upgraded in mid-1966 they took it as a chance to really see what the Bulleid Pacifics were really capable of. Their exploits were well documented in D.W.Winksworth's book 'Bulleid Pacifics', but I had an added advantage of Reuben being a next door neighbour when I lived in Wallisdown, Bournemouth, who was always keen to talk about past exploits, which was sheer coincidence as I had got to know all three, in passing, as a regular 'spotter' at Nine Elms in the last years of steam. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivercider Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Taking Numbers A visit to Glasgow St. Rollox Works in 1975.
