RMweb Gold rodent279 Posted January 2, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 2, 2023 Had to do a double take, as at first I thought this was a historical photo, but it's actually in the preservation era. NS 512 at Binnenstad. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted January 2, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 2, 2023 Sadly not a great picture as there was a lot of detritus in front of the locos, as well as a signal. 08511 and 08683 shunt 59003 at Eastleigh on 3rd September 2021. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is mainly retaining wall for the road access to the old Westbourne Park Lost Property Warehouse, which is the building in the middle of this image, which at the time of the image has already been surrounded by the RMC yard etc... https://cdn.ca.emap.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2014/06/Costain-Bachy-Crossrail-Paddington-New-Yard-12.jpg I guess it was all done as part of the A40(M) Westway construction and the warehouse got swept away during the construction of Crossrail, revealling some interesting GWR things buried beneath https://archaeology.crossrail.co.uk/exhibits/westbourne-park-depot/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photographer would be standing on the passenger platform at Royal Oak Station and, if he'd turned 180 degrees, would have been looking across the GWR lines with Ranelagh Bridge Depot beyond. Lord Hills Bridge is visible on the left and these days Crossrail has just dropped into a tunnel below where the 08 stands in the photo. https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=17.3&lat=51.51940&lon=-0.18868&layers=168&right=BingHyb 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are tucked under the Westway but it does look wider there to allow for the slip road on from Ranelagh Bridge... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely by Royal Oak, in the '80s and '90s that platform was used by London taxi drivers taking rest from the hurly-burly of the Westway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted January 3, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 3, 2023 Back to the 1990s for the next two, both featuring 08649 in different guises at Eastleigh. Not great, but these are scans from pictures taken with a fairly rudimentary camera! Probably circa 1993 Circa 1995/96. The withdrawn 33 languishing in the background was 33047. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The white van belonged to 'Jenks', our C&W man at the time. 09 022 was one of our good Jockos, it had quite a turn of speed and wasn't nearly as rough riding as the others we had. Before I left EWS to join Freightliner I put a Stratford Depot 'cockney sparra' decal on one of the cab sides, which I picked up for a couple of quid at Crewe Works open day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted January 3, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 3, 2023 Even though the rugby pic was taken ‘not that long ago’ it’s hard to imagine class 08/09 in rugby handling workings like that now, it’s all non stop block trains and intermodals through there now, no real interesting freight variety any more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
