'CHARD Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 To quote Graham Johnston, who took this unrepeatable photo, and to whom we're indebted for permission to reproduce it here: 'Another 'Last Week' shot rescued from the rejects file. The 0920 Carlisle to Edinburgh speeding through Eskbank on December 31st 1968. Sorry, loco number not recorded.' 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paydirt!! On this page https://lnerlocomotives.livejournal.com/2930.html she's shown to good effect. If the caption is to be believed the photo was taken slap bang in the period I'm modelling, June 1957, and shows she still had a cycling Lion on the tank side. However the caption is a little suspect as it claims the loco was still allocated to 64A even though just above the picture confirms her move to Hawick in April 1956. Thanks for a great steer pH!

'CHARD Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 Let's see if this works, the Google car, or more probably bike, has traversed the section of route between Parkhouse and a point north of the new A689 near Kingstown Ind.Est.
