Irishswissernie Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 I have added two collections which will be intended for covering ex Midland Railway and ex London & North Western Railway locations. First batch of photos cover West Hampstead to Bedford prior to electrification and scenes on the Richmond - Willesden Junction line in the 1970's. Not brilliant images unfortunately. http://erniesrailwayarchive.fotopic.net/c1811374.html http://erniesrailwayarchive.fotopic.net/c1802667.html regards Ernie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irishswissernie Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 Over the last few weeks I have acquired over 500 new images which will gradually be added to the various fotopic galleries. The views date from the 1960's to the 1990's ; however there are 50 odd that I am unable to pin down as to the location' I have accordingly created a new Gallery http://erniesunknownrailwaylocations.fotopic.net/ There's nowt on the telly so if you looking for a challenge, have a peek! Some are no doubt glaringly obvious. If you can assist put a message on the gallery. Many thanks Ernie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Flying Pig Posted March 23, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 23, 2010 This one looks like Wigan Wallgate (I've never been there - just guessed from the destination blind!). Interesting how the brick building on the left has changed colour, presumably with cleaning. What happened to the photo of the large disused trainshed, btw? Did someone identify it?

Adam Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 http://erniesunknownrailwaylocations.fotopic.net/p63799187.html Brush 4 with a headcode 0K47? Looks like a preserved jobby, possibly on the East Lance somewhere? I would have left a comment, but I push buttons and nothing happens............... Definitely the bridge at the top end of Keighley station and equally definitely a preservation era shot (note the Austin Metro in the background).

Thanks, I went down to Workington yesterday to sample the 'shuttle', 47501 & 57012 and managed to photograph them passing the 'trip' leaving Workington Docks with 66102. 66423 & 66427 also top n tailed 19 bogie opens; does anyone know what this working is?. It could be a training run as I think the same pair passed me near Flimby. Ernie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Andy Kirkham Posted April 5, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 5, 2010 Wonderful! Is that really a Schools at Yeovil Town? How common was that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Wonderful! Is that really a Schools at Yeovil Town? How common was that? 'Tis. In their latter days, probably not so unusual - they used to work semi-fasts from Salisbury apparently - long before my time. I've seen a selection photos over the years of these machines at Junction, but this is the first (that I can recall) on shed at Town. The chocolate and cream liveried slip coach (or former slip coach) at Chard Central is a welcome and unusual find too. http://railwaysofcornwall.fotopic.net/p64054547.html Adam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekEm8 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Ernie, Your 'unknown location' pic with 73004 etc is at Dover. I had a strange feeling when I looked at it - checked my pics and came up with this one taken from an almost identical position, taken on the 9th August 1981 but minus the 33s. (Strange because I've only visited Dover twice.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
