bingley hall Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) A shot taken 32 years ago that I recently rediscovered and scanned for the first time a few days ago. Built by Nohab of Sweden to the Prussian G8/2 design, a Turkish Railway 2-80-0 ambles across the landscape with the morning Sivas to Samsun passenger in March 1984. .

eastwestdivide Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Don't think I posted this yet - train slicing through the dense jungles of the South Yorkshire Joint line near Maltby in April 2014. I hope the driver had a machete and was up to date with the malaria tablets. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted May 8, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 8, 2016 On the 8th May 2016 as the early morning mist burns away, the first train of the day from Huddersfield to Sheffield crosses Paddock Viaduct at the start of its journey. 144017, 2B37 09.19 Huddersfield to Sheffield. 144017 2B37 Huddersfield 08052016 RMWeb.jpg Nice viaduct - shame about the train.

Southernman46 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 This part of West Yorkshire has several similarly splendid structures, Mike. I must get around to photographing a few more of them, especially before the wires go up along the Standedge route in the next few years - probably ! The rather annoying thing about that pic was that I was actually waiting for a returning engineers' train to cross - locomotives along the Huddersfield to Sheffield line being a rare occurrence - but as it hadn't turned up and 2B37 was sent down the single line, I figured that it had either been cancelled or sent via a different route. It subsequently ran about an hour late, long after I'd gone in search of breakfast. I reckon it's all the better for having a short train that fits the girder section - adds something to the composition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike morley Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) Not the sharpest of images, but one to show Summer may be coming I'm trying to work out what's happening on the pitch. Two batsmen at the strikers end, one of them walking towards the square-leg umpire? Apparently no batsman at the bowlers end?

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted May 18, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) I'm trying to work out what's happening on the pitch. Two batsmen at the strikers end, one of them walking towards the square-leg umpire? Apparently no batsman at the bowlers end? The padded figure to the left of the stumps is, I think the wicket keeper. Looking at a slightly earlier frame there was a batsman heading to the pavilion. It looks as though the new batsman wasn't ready to come on and that the outgoing bat had been run out on the last ball of the over - hence the general disarray. The most puzzling figure is the crouching one near square leg. The ball appears to be coming towards him. It was all taken from a fair way off - from the seafront. Anyway if one's five-year-old moves one's set of Langley cricketing figures around randomly, you have a perfect prototype scenario. The only thing you can't have is a train in modern Southern livery - unless it's 73 hauled! Edited May 18, 2016 by phil_sutters 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold martin_wynne Posted May 18, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 18, 2016 The batsman is going to ask the umpire if he got the number of the passing unit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
