blueeighties Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Hi Dave. A bit of a long shot. I have been asked by a customer to re brand a J94 tank engine. It used to run on the Bowes railway, and had the bame 'Bowes' in LNER style typeface on it's boiler sides. I think it's running number was no 19. I don't suppose you have anything in your archives? Ideally looking for a colour shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold DaveF Posted September 17, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 17, 2015 J4900 looks like 44002 "Helvellyn" in larger format....... I've just had a close look at the original scan and am inclined to think you are right so I've changed the caption. It's one of Dad's photos so I think he must have written down the wrong number when he took the photo - easy to do as I've often done it. Many thanks, David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kazmierczak Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Can't have too many East Midlands pictures David. The Cl.58-powered MGR is almost certainly heading for Ratcliffe Power Station. Regards, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmrspaul Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 J1217: the nearer Sturgeon has had its door bangers removed, which I've not seen before. Is the (small) crowd admiring the class 37 or something else?? Bill The early Sturgeons had lift up and off doors so did not need door bangers Diag 1/638 eg http://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/brsturgeon/e84e0d4fand many others Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted September 18, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 18, 2015 Hi, Dave. Excellent photo's of Harrogate. In particular, J872 shows a mixed unit, with a class 101 DMCL, then a class 110 TSL and DMBC. Then there is a lovely parcels train to be seen in J1242, with 47 D1573 with a Van B, then an ex-LMS BG, Mk1 BG, ex-LMS BG and unidentified 4-wheeler. With best regards, Rob.

mark54 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 1N07 is the 09:40 SuO KX-Hgt. A Bradford portion would have been detached at Leeds. 1E83 is the 16:20 SX Hgt-KX. Complete 8 coach train through to KX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railsquid Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Ah man, how good does J0866 look?! Fantastic photo. Thanks Dave. My first thought. Actually looking at the leading coach, it looks like a brake composite (at least the model I have) but there appears to be a board where I'd expect the yellow 1st class stripe (or was it too early for those).

RMweb Premium keefer Posted September 19, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 19, 2015 It is a mk1 BCK and it is the yellow band which is visible. There are clips for a name board on at least this and the following coach though I don't think they saw much use by this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a Mk1 BSO. No yellow stripe, all blue-grey liveried coaches the first class seating was indicated with a yellow stripe. No 1 on the passenger door next to the guards door. No curved rain strip above the two doors I have just mentioned. Two windows between the guards door and double doors of the luggage compartment. BCK image. The leading coach in J0868 is a BCK.

RMweb Premium keefer Posted September 19, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 19, 2015 Quite right, my apologies - I misread the photo number and thought we were talking about the next one J0868! J0866 is a BSO, quite rare to see boards in use on blue/grey stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Controller Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 J1818;- the hoppers with the light-coloured load are almost certainly carrying sand from Redhill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Sorry David, the 304 can't be 056 as the class only went up to 045. Photos of a 304/310 combo are quite rare, and you have gone one better and posted a green/blue pairing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberdeenBill Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Hi Dave, All your (and your dad's) photos are wonderful, but those taken in the late 1960s and featuring AC electrics are just beyond compare. J1818 (already commented upon above) includes a Fruit D a part of the partially fitted freight. Presumably with the rather dodgy riding quality of those sand hoppers, it was quite severely limited in speed? I reckon that J0832 (the AM4/AM10 combination) must be near unique. Thanks again, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
