Fat Controller Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Hi all, Can any experts identify the vans on the right-hand road in photo JVol5067 (post 578)? Many thanks, Bill Not sure about the one nearest the camera with the pronounced ducket, but the other two look like a Gresley 4-wheel brake (didn't Finelines do one?) and an ex-LMS 50' brake. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Prism Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 It's a Gresley 4-wheel something, but not the same as the D120 pigeon van (it has got too many panels and no toplights). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwealleans Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I think it's a 6 wheel ex-NER CCT. I'd have to look at the books for the diagram but the panelling is a dead giveaway. The older low roof vehicle almost out of shot could be one of all kinds of antique passenger brake vehicles. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold DaveF Posted May 20, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 20, 2013 Another mixed bag this afternoon, just to show that Dad photographed anything which had wheels and ran on rails - I was riding on the children's railway at the time.

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted May 20, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 20, 2013 The Volks of course still exists unlike most of the 'London Extension'. I juts love that shot of the C2X and Fairburn on BN Shed and weren't the 2BILS 'handsome' compared to some of today's plastic carts. Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted May 21, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2013 Almost all this afternoon's photos are in Nottingham. The photos of Caledonian 123 are not the same as the earlier ones, I have checked! These are the last photos from Volume 5. There are no prizes for guessing which print volume comes next, but it's not Volume 6.

RMweb Gold DaveF Posted May 21, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 21, 2013 This evening having finished Volume 5 we go back to volume 1. When I started the thread I had expected just a few views so at first didn't upload all the suitable images. So I have gone back through the scans and chosen the rest, including some which have been seen in other threads some time ago, but not yet in this thread (as far as I can remember). This evening we are visiting a number of locations at various dates.

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted May 21, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 21, 2013 I reckon the Flying Pig's number plate has been 'doctored'. It looks like the number has had an M welded on (left side)! Or it has been mended? P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the number has had an M welded on (left side)! Or it has been mended? P I think the M has been added as before the ex LMS engines had their number prefixed with either 4 or 5 the letter M was used, just as some of the other photos have an E in front of the LNER number before their prefix became 6.

LMS2968 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I think the M has been added as before the ex LMS engines had their number prefixed with either 4 or 5 the letter M was used, just as some of the other photos have an E in front of the LNER number before their prefix became 6. David The added M to the LMS number would not fit on the existing smokebox number plate, so was often left off the front; in which case only the cabside got the M, sometimes above the number if it would fit, otherwise below. Sometimes a sheet steel extension piece to mount the M was added to the front number plate, secured by the right hand (looking forward) number plate mounting bolt. The effect was to make the number plate off centre, as with M3003 above. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted May 22, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2013 Volume 1 continues this afternoon with some "people" photos which have also been in the thread on "The Human Side of the Railway", but you may not all have seen them yet. Then there are a few more of Rugby - I've checked I haven't already posted them (I hope). The Rugby ones show the limitations of the camera he had with him that day.

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted May 22, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 22, 2013 Like the two PO wagons following the "Pig" in 1050. An originally large letter CWS wagon repainted to just a panel with the name on and the other wagon now obviously in public ownership with a "P" series number.
