Trev52A Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) I don't think I've shown this one before: 45029 comes off the King Edward Bridge in to Gateshead with 1V92 (09.50 Edinburgh - Plymouth) on 24th December 1975.

Does anyone with access to the relevant timetable know when 1V92 was due to depart Newcastle, please? I would like to find out, to help me with sorting out a few details regarding some other pictures I took around this time. I may put it in the UK Prototype Questions section. Thanks in advance! Trevor According to Railgenarchive it is the 9.50 off Edinburgh going through to Plymouth. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for pointing me in the direction of Rail Gen Archive - I now look forward to many hours wasted spent trawling through the listings and comparing with my observations! Obviously 1V92 was a forerunner to 1V93 which was a Deltic stronghold in 1981. I have updated my original post with the correct information. Cheers!

Allocated on delivery to Gateshead both locomotives would spend their entire career allocated to this depot and both locomotives were stored at Swindon Works at the end of the 1980 Summer Timetable. 46034 was withdrawn in November 1980 and 46040 was one of five Class 46 locomotives withdrawn in December 1980 from those stored at Swindon Works awaiting their fate. Neither was amongst those reinstated at the end of 1981 and the Swindon cutting torches beckoned with 46034 being broken up at Swindon Works during November 1982. However one final journey remained for 46040. During the first week of January 1982 recently reinstated 46032 was in Derby Works for power unit repairs and 46040 was sent up to Derby from Swindon as a source of spares to assist with the repair. By April all useful parts had been recovered and the remains of 46040 were broken up by Derby Works. 46040 - http://www.flickr.com/photos/pics-by-john/7674504768/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivercider Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I have recently found a collection of photos taken by my late brother Steve Redwood. Among them were a limited number of railway photos, including seven taken around Uphill Junction south of Weston-super-Mare, alas with no notes. However with assistance on a fb group one pair of photos have been identified. A peak approaches Windwhistle Lane foot crossing on the Weston Loop Line some time in the winter of either 1978/79 or 79/80. It has been identified as 46012 working 1M85 07.40 Penzance to Liverpool Lime Street. A going away shot as the train heads for the Weston-super-Mare station call.
