jabbathehutt Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 When Tidal Sidings were a 'steel sector hub' - wagons which would previously had no business being there, would appear from time to time. . ASW did however 'hire in' a number of internationally registered wagons about this time - I may have details somewhere. . Brian R ASW used S-Fins & Habfis wagons to transport mesh rod in coil to the Drulingen area .

jonny777 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I will never forget the sound these two made. 37138 and 216 bring a stone train up from Acton to Willesden High Level. A 'mobile earthquake' would sum it up 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B&W #30.jpg Topping out on the Lickey, rear end view taken 1981, looks like the rear one is 280 or 286 with small black numbers just visible below the headcode panel...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted September 28, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 28, 2013 Fort William 37191_37026_fw_1_1_84.jpg 37191 and 37026 That brings back an OT memory. On the West Highlander railtour - can't remember which one, but it was around the time when the 37/0's were getting their "Loch" nameplates. We're on the platform at FW, lining up shots of our traction for the trip home. My mate has his Zenith EM on my tripod. He's about to take a pic when just behind him, a 37 roars into the platform on a service train. It makes him jump and in the process, he knocks over the tripod in the direction of the oncoming train. My first thought is "my tripod!" as it bounces towards the plaftorm edge. His thought is "my camera!". Luckily, it doesn't fall over the edge. Only afterwards did we really consider the implications of it falling in front of the oncoming train. I wonder what would've won? The Zenith EM or the 37? For those that don't know, a Zenith EM was Russian engineering at it's heavy best! The tripod was unharmed, the camera had a bent lens surround, but still worked. The platform had a hole in it!

jonny777 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Yes, I had a Zenith in the 1970s. It was built like a tank, but it produced some decent results at times. I have a strange fondness for its chunkiness, despite replacing it with an Olympus OM1, which felt as light as a feather in comparison. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGJ Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 The majority of my pix in the 80`s and 90`s were on either a Texet point and press ( the calculator company ), or a Prcatica MTL 50, the texet was a very good camera for a 12 year old and did take good enough photographs this was on the texet http://www.flickr.com/photos/midland-road/9638762525/in/set-72157635327456066/lightbox/ SGJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
