RMweb Premium keefer Posted December 21, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 21, 2021 And it looks odd (to me) to see them while headcodes were still in use. I think I used to have in my mind the 45/1s from the late'70s/early '80s with dominos or sealed headlamps. But I now know that they were some of the first locos to get TOPS numbers when converted. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see someone has removed the air pipe off the 45/46 bogie. Just in case of that run down the midland to St. Pancras with a set of coffins Regards Guy 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love that photo, I can imagine the smell of the oil and diesel, the sound of the engine idling away and the anticipation of the next loco to appear, great stuff! 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev52A Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Hopefully some 'Peak' expert can identify this one crossing the High Level Bridge out of Newcastle with a southbound train on 30th March 1980. Part of the bridge structure obscures the number which seems to begin with 4603(x). That's the Swing Bridge in the background, of course. Many thanks in advance Trevor 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
