It looks like it may be 'Ugly' 62 to me, which was on the NYMR at the time, and was owned by my best mate (and current boss) John Boyes then. I have seen other photos of 62 double heading with 'Joem' at this time, but I don't recall 'Waggoner' being there then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit that when I came to caption the photo I had to rely on my notes as I have no recollection of taking it. I could well have written down the wrong loco.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 19, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 19, 2018 Hi, Dave. I like the latest Carlisle photos. There are some great ones of 86’s and 87’s, and those in Intercity livery will help the debate about the Oxford Mk3’s in Swallow livery. Also the last one of 142029 will soon be historical in all senses since I think it’s later this year they start to be withdrawn from service along with the 144’s. They all have to be gone by December, 31st, 2019. With warmest regards, Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 20, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hi, Dave. I like the Morpeth photo’s. The first one is a classic photo of whichever split head code 37 it is. And the two class 40’s make a fine and nostalgic sight in the second photo. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 21, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hi, Dave. I like the L.T.& S.R. photos. C2087 of Gravesend and the SS Stefan Batory Polish ship is a good composition, with much to see. The Waverley makes a glorious sight in the last photo. With warmest regards, Rob.

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted February 22, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2018 Today's photos are probably best described as being north of York and south of Newcastle. They were taken over a 17 year period.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 22, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hi, Dave. I like the photos which are, like you said, north of York and south of Newcastle. The first one shows how the up and down slow lines at South Otterington, splay outwards to go under the outer arches of the road over bridge - indeed all such bridges north of York, on the ECML are the same. It also shows a class 40 on a typical freight train of that era, which, apart from the 40, were little changed from steam days. With warmest regards, Rob.

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted February 22, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22, 2018 Sorry I missed yesterday's photos so my comments are a day too late. I like J5724, nice bit of underframe detail on the Battery Driving Trailer Second (Lavatory). It is clear photos like this one I need for modelling my EMUs. I did think that the BDTS(L) on all AC EMUs had the same arrangement. I have a lovely drawing of a Class 304 (by Colin Craig in DEMU Update) and was going to use that for all of my EMUs. No the LMR units had two battery boxes on the left hand side and the charger on the right. All the ER units had a battery box on each side and the charger in front of the battery on the left. I discovered this while marking and cutting out batteries for eight units while supposingly being an expert demonstrating at the Doncaster show two weeks ago. A clear shot of the next coach the Motor Brake Second is a rarity, this one is pretty good. Now with C4225, those tension pulley mast look interesting ..........now how to put this without causing upset...... I wonder if anyone has taken a photo showing the pulley side of the mast?

That particular mast was impossible to photograph from the other side - the tree was in the way and there was no path on the north side. The only photos I have of LTS line masts showing the pulley side fairly clearly are these.

deltic17 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 (edited) C5440 - that Toad is a bit off piste! Phil I think there were 1 or 2? Toads based at Low Fell Engineers Sidings (near Tyne Yard). Not sure how they ended up in the NE?? I remember them appearing in a number of local Departmental/engineering trains along the ECML in my 'patch' just south of Durham, sometimes with a Gresley coach......

35A Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 A Spot-the-Deltic coin toss? Given the size of the nameplate I'm putting my money on it being "Meld" (55 003). If not, then it's "Pinza" - but I think that the plate is too small for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
