Bill Jamieson Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) Not a new image, but until a few days ago the caption stated "an unidentified B1". However the final digit on the cab side looks like a '6' to me and the number of B1s ending in '6' known to have run over the WR is quite limited - 61076/116/46/76/216/46/346/56/96. I would suggest that anything with a '1' after the leading '1' can be discounted, as can anything with a name. That only leaves 61076/346/56/96, of which the first three had their smokebox number-plates positioned below the top smokebox-door strap. Ergo it must be 61396, which did run with a high front numberplate - unless of course it's one which slipped in and out of Hawick unnoticed. Any thoughts? https://www.railscot.co.uk/imageenlarge/imagecomplete.php?id=26146 PS I should have said that the Railscot caption was changed at my instigation Edited August 11, 2015 by Bill Jamieson 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfisher24 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Well going by the chimney and smokebox door id go with the caption and 61396. Also this loco features in the railways of scotland vol 2 if memory serves correctly, although ive just spent the last two and a half hours trying to get my oldest baby girl to sleep when she dont want to so may be wrong haha. Will look zombified in the morning now - even more than usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will look zombified in the morning now - even more than usual. Do you mean Steam in Scotland Vol 2 by Anderson and Cross? 61396 doesn't appear in that album and perhaps you're thinking of the B1 shot taken between Galashiels and Bowland (although captioned as between Bowland and Stow) with the loco identified as 61389. It may have been discussed here before that this is almost certainly in error as 61389 was an ER machine all its life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfisher24 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I was thinking of the section of film taken in 64a - a really murky few shots but i think that this was the loco that appears.

The Border Reiver Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Here are 3 photos I took en route to Edinburgh from Carlisle in September 1963. Has anyone any idea where on the line they were taken (between Longtown and Hawick). Haulage by by a BRCW Type 2 Class 26/0. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveArkley Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Here are 3 photos I took en route to Edinburgh from Carlisle in September 1963. Has anyone any idea where on the line they were taken (between Longtown and Hawick). Haulage by by a BRCW Type 2 Class 26/0. Judging by the curve and low retaining walls outside I'd say the last one is at the North exit of Whitrope tunnel, although the bank to the left is lower than I've seen in other pictures. What say yea locals? Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37175 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Top one is on the climb from Steele Road to Riccarton. Middle one I'd hazard a guess at being on the approach to Milepost 65 between Riccarton & Whitrope. Bottom one is as Dave has already said. Great shots by the way, thanks for posting them up!

The link which I posted on 2nd January no longer works. I had another look at Locoman1966's Flickr Photostream this evening and it appears he has taken down the Waverley Route demolition images.
