devonseasider Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 68095 at Edinburgh St. Margarets shed 16 June 1963: 68095 at Edinburgh St. Margarets shed 16 June 1963.jpg By the end of 1966, 68095 had made its way south to Lancashire and was at the premises of Helical Springs Ltd. in Lytham, twixt Blackpool & Preston, where it was intended to establish a railway museum. I helped with some of the initial "muck-scraping" in those early days and took this photo' on a very murky day in December of that year. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pH Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Yes, Graham, 68095 had an interesting time after being withdrawn. Incidentally, the Wikipedia entry for the NBR 'G' class says that 68095 was bought by J.Morris "straight out of traffic at St Margaret's Shed, Edinburgh". This is wrong - it made it to a scrapyard in Shettleston before it was purchased - I saw it there in August 1966. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohmisterporter Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Talyllyn Railway number 1 Talyllyn standing at Abergynolwyn earlier this year. I think the black livery suits this engine. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold JCL Posted August 12, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 12, 2013 Two from Fort Steel just down the road from me: This one starred in Shanghai Noon, and would you believe is pulling a Mk1 coach? Sorry about the quality, I horribly over-exposed them... And I think this was used in the coal mine in Kimberley. I believe it ran on compressed air. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohmisterporter Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 A railway that I have not seen posted before is the fifteen inch gauge Heatherslaw Light Railway in Northumberland. Running for 6.4 kilometers between the villages of Heatherslaw and Etal, this line uses a steam loco named Bunty shown in the picture on the turntable. It is a tank engine with a tender. I think the tender is somewhere for the driver to sit, and houses a compressor for the air brakes. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted August 14, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 14, 2013 SD40-2, Nigel, as evidenced by the HTC trucks (three holes in the side-frame between axles). Some other important differences between the models, not least a longer frame and modular electronics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGC Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Here's a picture of Oliver Cromwell heading The Norfolkman just South of Stansted Mountfitchet as it heads towards London Liverpool Street from Norwich on 2nd July 2011. In case anyone notices there's no high intensity headlight - it's amazing what you can do with Photoshop! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
