RMweb Gold DaveF Posted June 23, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 23, 2015 What state is the loco shed at Marley Hill thought that there was a structural problem with it? At present it has steel supports outside on the front wall, inside there is scaffolding behind the front wall. The shed is still in use. I understand that the intention is to carry out remedial work in due course. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted June 23, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 23, 2015 DSC6561 - I love the wagons disappearing into the undergrowth in the background, especially the one on the right (numbered 1955...) you can only see a very small bit of.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 23, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hi, Dave. Really like both the photo's of the Tanfield Railway and those of the southern end of Polhill Tunnel. I particularly like the steamy effects in DSC_5554 and DSC_5555 of Sir Cecil A Cochrane and Number 2 at Marley Hill. It is good seeing the EMU's working 'unsung' in the Polhill Tunnel shots, for these really are the photo's of the 'everyday railway' that I wish more photographers would take. They are a valuable resource for future generations. All the best, Market65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffP Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Agreed, but what a shame the "designers" couldn't have made the emu's a bit less like runaway coaches and a bit more like .......well...a train? Virtually all our units from around 1955 share the same boring outline...a coach. IMHO, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted June 23, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 23, 2015 Lovely snowy pictures at Haughley and the steam from the heating in C4285 really captures the atmosphere... C4304...is that a motor worked detonator placer in the foreground? Jon F. The box, which would have been behind the DMU in the photo, was replaced by a panel in the station buildings next to the level crossing, so the only way to work a detonator would be by motor.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 24, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hi, Dave. More great photo's of the Tanfield Railway, with a good selection of loco's and stock to be seen. I like the Yorkshire photo's, especially the first one, C4443 at Dore with a 47 in April, 1979. Photo' C12073 with 142085 at Normanton on 5th April, 1989, is nice and wet and gloomy!

flapland Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 C4329 reminds so much of my last visit to Tinsley when it very wet although I would happily repeat the experience today to see the yard in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Kazmierczak Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Like the C.142 at Normanton; the passengers on the platform "make" the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Fitness Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Those 3 freight train pics are quite something. 11 years after the end of steam, but they are still effectively steam age freight trains with blue diesels pulling them. You could substitute those with a WD 2-8-0 and they would still look "right" Wonderful... JF Edited June 24, 2015 by Jon Fitness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted June 25, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2015 A few photos of railways in Derbyshire this evening, mainly taken in weather similar to that which I can see out of the window at the moment - dull and dismal. Hindlow Class 25 7601 and 7606 up light engines April 72 C919 Poolsbrook 56011 leaving Duckmanton Colliery - I think.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 25, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hi, Dave. Like very much the Tanfield Railway photo's. The photo's from Derbyshire are great ones as well. I find especially interesting photo' C979, of two 25's at Hindlow, numbers 7601 and 7606, with work on singling the line under way. Then photo' C3796, of 56011 at Poolsbrook, with the train leaving Duckmanton Colliery in April, 1978, is a classic scene. All the best, Market65. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted June 26, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) Dent in the second half of the 1960s this evening. A trip to Dent (and other places on the S&C) was a pleasant day out from Harrogate where we lived at the time. The loco numbers are probably right, they were taken from the slides. Dent BR Class 4 4-6-0 possibly 75041 up goods May 66 J530 Dent Class 45 D31 up ex pass June 67 J932 Dent Class 45 D12 down Thames Clyde St Pancras to Edinburgh June 67 J0933 Dent Class 47 D1855 down freight April 68 J1267 Dent Class 45 possibly D22 down Thames Clyde St Pancras to Edinburgh June 68 J1319 David Edited June 26, 2015 by DaveF 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
