RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 21, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 21, 2016 Hi, Dave. Excellent photo's of the Settle and Carlisle line today. The first one of Black 5 45461 is good. It reminds me, to an extent, of a model, as already mentioned. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

67A Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Hi Dave, Luckily for me I was worn out last night so no painting (or any other modelling) was attempted, probably best if I leave it as it is, many thanks for sharing more wonderful S&C shots. As you are modelling a bygone era you are fortunate in not having to drastically weather your rolling stock but I presume most of it has to be scratch or kit built, my hat is off to you.

br2975 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 J912 is not a 108 or even a pair thereof but an assemblage of the Cravens units with huge combined destination and headcode boxes - Class 112 or 113. Chris Agreed..... and the only time I saw any of these, was a raft of a dozen or so being dragged through Cardiff General en route to T.W.Ward's Giant's Grave yard and ultimately, oblivion. .

35A Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Today would have been Dad's 90th birthday, so I thought we'd have some more of his photos taken in Harrogate during 1965 . Once again the images are from half frame slides. That would make your Dad four days younger than my Mum! I've just returned from celebrating her birthday and I'm just catching up with the thread. Had I realised, I would have raised a glass to your Dad as well - no matter, I shall do so when I next crack open a bottle of red, in grateful thanks for this wonderful catalogue of stunning pictures that thrills us every day, capturing an era when I was (very slightly) too young to fully appreciate what was happening on (and off) the railway!

luckymucklebackit Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 J3595 - very unusual view, I take it the loco was running tender(s) first.

RMweb Gold The Pilotman Posted June 23, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 23, 2016 Excellent pictures David. J6989 is interesting; I never knew there were 2+9 HSTs running about in 1980.

br2975 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) Skipton Class 113 Colne to Skipton June 67 J912.jpg Skipton Class 108 Colne to Skipton June 67 J912 As I mentioned a few posts ago, many of these somewhat troubled children were cut up in South Wales. . Most were stored at Rose Grove following withdrawal, and from there despatched en-masse to Rugby where they were stripped of reusable fittings (including their engines) during September 1969. . From there they were dragged (I believe) to T.W.Ward at Giant's Grave, Briton Ferry. The rake I saw heading west through Cadiff General included MBS cars M51731 / 38 / 40 / 42/ 49 / 52 and MC cars 51758 / 59 / 64 . Unfortunately, I no longer have the date.

You could use this one as a warning - "Don't trespass, this could be the last photo you might take of Flying Scotsman" jim Flying Scotsman was on its way from Market Overton to Nottingham, at Market Overton it faced south, so it had to run tender first to Barkston via High Dyke and Grantham, where it went along the south to east connection so it was facing the right way round to go to Nottingham. Dad was standing on the end verandah of (I think) the GER saloon belonging to Bill McAlpine when he took the photo.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 23, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 23, 2016 Hi, Dave. Lovely photos of Peascliffe Tunnel on the ECML. In J6989, the last photo', it is the time when the catering cars on the class 254 HST's were marshalled saloon to saloon between the first class and second class sections of the trains.
