avonside1563 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 A visit to south west Scotland for today's photos. The first photo is of the Caledonian Railway station at Annan, on the line from Kirtlebridge which went across the Solway viaduct which joined the North British line to Silloth and also the M&C at Brayton. Many years ago, when I was a member of a modelling group, the Blyth 61172 Association, we built a model named Challoch Junction, inventing a station at the location. It went to a number of exhibitions in the north east. Annan CR branch July 74 J3822.jpg Annan CR branch July 74 J3822 David J3822... A fine example of one of those new fangled railway drains...

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted October 20, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) Some photos of the West Coast Main line today in the north of England. For those who don't know the area Plumpton is a small village a few miles north of Penrith. Hincaster Junction is south of Oxenholme and is where a branch of the Furness railway north from Arnside joined the LNWR.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted October 20, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 20, 2017 Hi, Dave. The WCML photos are superb, and the class 87’s hauling typical trains, for the era, of Mk2 and Mk3 stock all look so right. A great series of photos to help those who are purchasing the new Hornby model. With warmest regards, Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Swindon 123 Posted October 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2017 What's the crack with 8 and 54 signals I can't see why they have two arms as there doesn't seem to be a diverging route? If you look very carefully at the box diagram, on signals 8 & 54 it shows only one lever number applying to both arms, indicating both arms are worked by the one lever, indicating co-acting arms, as noted by others. On signals 56 & 57 and also 58 & 59, the two arms have separate numbers next to them, indicating the signals are cleared by different levers, indicating separate routes. The GE was very fond of stacking main semaphore on one post, Ipswich having quite a few as seen below. CBR 2-103 by Paul James, on Flickr They weren't afraid of stacking miniature arms either, sometimes on multiple dolls, as seen below at Harwich. CBR-5-124 by Paul James, on Flickr CBR-5-125 by Paul James, on Flickr I did most of my MP12 driver training on the GE out of Liverpool Strret, so quickly has to get use to this style of signalling.

And what is the 'black and white' disc to the right of 'down platform'? Thanks, Bill Hi Bill, I suggest that it is a "shunt" signal controlling movements in to the siding - controlled from the ground frame rather than the signal box, hence it is coloured "black and white" on the diagram.

( CBR-5-124 & 125 ) It's actually just after what was Parkeston Goods Junction. The signal featured in the two photos can just be made out on the RH middle edge of the full size version of the photo below.

Covkid Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Did I see a couple of those Southend Pier vehicles parked up in the yard of one of the Conwy valley stations some years ago ? Also appears the leading car has a naval style circular windscreen wiper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted October 21, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 21, 2017 Hi, Dave. I like the Southend photo's. The funicular railway makes a great contrast to the cliff lifts in Scarborough, and the pier railway is quite charming. The trains, at the time of the photo's always reminded me, to an extent, of the stying of some of the diesel units over in Ireland in the 50's and 60's. I think that they all had naval style windscreen wipers fitted. With warmest regards, Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted October 22, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 22, 2017 Hi, Dave. I like the Midland Railway trust photos. The first one shows how good those two engines were looking in MR crimson lake livery. Interesting to see the Jinty in the ‘fake’ crimson livery which it did not carry in LMS and BR service. With warmest regards, Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35A Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 That brought back a few memories. My only visit to the MRT was a few months later (by which time the repaint of D4 was complete). Much of the stock was in exactly the same position as your photographs. I remember being made very welcome by the crew and given a cab ride on the Jinty, across the reservoir to Hammersmith and back. It was a cold and miserable early December afternoon and the warmth from the firebox was very welcome! I really must get back there for another visit some time.

For those who don't know the area the Class 101 and Class 37 photos are on the Newcastle to Carlisle line, east of Blaydon. The others are taken south of the line, not far from the cokeworks.
