talisman56 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 There are two signal posts in the picture: the one at danger adjacent to the track applies to the line to the right of the train. There is another signal to the left of this which applies to the line the train is on - you can just see the white board behind it. This signal is clear so there's no imminent SPAD. That's what I meant... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium uax6 Posted July 20, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 20, 2016 That first shot of Dent Head shows the signal wire running at probably waist height. Presumably this is so they are clear of snow.... That Derby Lightweight is a standard one. The very first series had Lysholm-Smith torque convertors, and were red triangle coupling code (not to be confused with the later Bed-pan red triangle cars, which were really blue square...) and the waist level jumpers had (from memory) a triangular junction box, and I think single piece windscreens. They were used between Bradford and Leeds and AFAIK didn't wonder off that route. Andy G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted July 20, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2016 Back in 2010 I did a "365 project" which involved taking (at least) one photo every day for a year. I used the images for a camera club talk and posted many on flickr at the time. I came across the folder on my PC this evening and thought I'd post some of the railway ones here.

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted July 20, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 20, 2016 Not quite an 'OFF' indicator but it was a repeater for the Dolly (GPL) at the North End of the Down platform to allow Down trains to set back in to the Up Yard! This was how trains from Widdrington would access the Blyth & Tyne before running around to go to the Furnace Way to again run around for either West Blyth or Cambois Power Station!

Mark Saunders Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Presume that was "as was" when Dave took his photo, 125 is a main aspect these days The East Coast from York to Berwick was resignalled with the Electrification in the 1990's and from Northallerton to Berwick had simbids (simplified Bidirectional) signalling installed; hence why there is a main aspect rather than a backover dolly!

They were taken when the Motor Show was being held at the NEC in October 1978 so there were a lot of extra trains. They also show the rebuilding work at the station.

Always viewable at New St on my spotting trips in the early 1980s! https://flickr.com/photos/tutenkhamunsleeping/5489899954/ In your photo Dave, its got white cab window surrounds.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted July 21, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 21, 2016 Hi, Dave. Three excellent sets of photos. Those two sets of photos from 2010 show that things continue to change so quickly. Interesting to see Tornado which had not long been introduced into service back in 2008. The class 312 EMU at Marston Green has certainly received aluminium window surrounds. The surrounds are certainly not painted white. With warmest regards, Rob.
