br2975 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Can anyone help, please. . A link featured on rmweb some considerable time, to a site which contained a number of monochrome photos (taken by a gentleman from the USA) predominantly in the Cambridge and (south) London areas during the early 1970s, possibly around 1973. . Included were not just locos, but also passenger, parcels and freight stock. . The same site also contained a number of shots of US railroad subjects. Can anyone recall the site ? . Can anyone post the link again please ? . TIA . Brian R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 ...Can anyone recall the site ? Can anyone post the link again please ? ... Yes and no respectively (unfortunately). Tried a site search with Cambridge and a few other terms, but to no avail. Wasn't there some interesting background rolling stock? Any more clues?

RMweb Premium keefer Posted October 8, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 8, 2012 thought it might have been the peter j. vincent collections, but on looking at the site again, the british photos are from 1979: http://www.pjv101.ne...bw/fldrbw08.htm (select folders 1394-1415) mainly cambridge, e.anglia, london and surrounding. great scrapyard views of interesting rolling stock and nice detail shots of in-service trains a lot of the earlier folders are australian, but the are US, japan, europe etc etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted October 9, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 9, 2012 A great pity they are not indexed, 1408_130ipg intrigues me. Could this possibly be the body from an RAF vehicle or similar from WW2. There is something like it to the left of the control tower in this link to a nearby airfield. http://www.controlto..._St_Edmunds.htm Regards Bob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Could this possibly be the body from an RAF vehicle or similar from WW2. There is something like it to the left of the control tower in this link to a nearby airfield. http://www.controlto..._St_Edmunds.htm Regards Bob It's a demountable comms/signals body, of a sort that was often mounted on an Austin K9 chassis; Matchbox used to do a similar, but not identical, one. One of the ex-servicemen on here (Clive M, for example) might be of more use with the details. I'd say it was 1950s/60s, rather than WW2; similar bodies, but without the 'clerestory' roof, are still in use- I've seen them, mounted on Bedford chassis, on the M20, usually with a generator in tow.
