RMweb Gold Market65 Posted March 1, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 1, 2021 Good evening, David. I like the latest Newcastle to Carlisle line photo’s, all of which are of interest. In C19379, at Plenmeller, with a class 156, on a Stranraer to Newcastle service, on the 29th March, 1994, you have captured another delightful ‘train in the landscape’ photo’.

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted March 2, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2021 Some photos taken in Yorkshire for today. The first photo, like many others in this thread, is one of Dad's. I don't know exactly where he was standing when he took it. I've no idea of the details of the train in the Class 56 photo, which is one of my photos.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted March 2, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 2, 2021 Good afternoon, David. I like the Yorkshire photo’s which are full of interest. In that first photo’ at Ackworth, with 56085, on an up freight train in September, 1990, you can also see how parched the grass was by then after a very hot and dry summer.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted March 4, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 4, 2021 Good evening, David. I like the Swayfield photo’s, all of which are of interest. In J3757, with an unidentified class 47, on a down service, the 12.20 Kings Cross to Cleethorpes, in July, 1974, you can see how the restaurant cars are at the rear of the formation.

RMweb Premium keefer Posted March 4, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) Did the Cleethorpes service split somewhere en-route? As Rob says, the dining cars are at the back, and there are two brake vehicles in the middle. Edited March 4, 2021 by keefer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium keefer Posted March 4, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) Courtesy Robert Carroll's BR LH-stock group: https://brcoachingstock.groups.io/g/main The formation of the train in the photo is basically as diagrammed except: The brake coaches are marshalled with the vans outwards (instead of van-to-van), The RUO/RB coaches should be marshalled RB/RUO (actually turned 180° so the RB has the Kitchen end facing South and the RUO has toilets North) Presumably there was a lot of luggage (or parcels) on this train, though why two brake coaches were used, placed in the middle, I don't know.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted March 5, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 5, 2021 Good evening, David. I like the Cumbrian Coast line photo’s which are all of interest. In the last photo’, at Seascale, with 153361, on a Barrow to Carlisle service, on the 24th August, 1994, you have captured a most bleak, desolate scene which I think only locals would go to. A total difference to Grange over Sands in the first two photo’s. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seascale, like all of the Cumbrian coast can be a bit bleak on a rough grey day with a strong west wind - but by contrast the Northumberland coast can be really bleak - I went for a walk today to the harbour, by the time I got home I wished I hadn't bothered! On a sunny summer day Seascale is very pleasant. David 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted March 6, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Photos taken around Blyth in Northumberland for today. The first two photos show the coal export facility built on the site of Bates Pit, using the original coal elvators. The third photo shows the line to Bates at Plessey Road level crossing when it was being upgraded to reopen for the coal export business. The fourth photo shows the remains of the line to Blyth station. Finally the last photo shows the remains of the embankment of the waggonway from Barrington Pit to Point Pleasant, on the north side of the River Blyth. The embankment is to the right of the big pale field . The remains of the jetty can just be seen from the end of the embankment going along the far side of the patch of mud across to the left of the photo on the far side of the river.

Popular Post Alcanman Posted March 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Fascinating photos of Blyth. The track-bed from Newsham to Blyth shown on your 4th photo is largely unchanged today, just more overgrown with bushes. This photo shows the original line but viewed in the opposite direction. The houses and allotments on the right of your photo are on the left of this photo. A J27 is returning to South Blyth shed. Thanks again for sharing, always a pleasure to see your B&T photos.

Robin I do have some but they are copies I have been given by other photographers and I can't post them on here. However, if you search for "Blyth Ferry Northumberland" using Google or similar you will find photos and details. David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted March 6, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Good evening, David. I like the photo’s from around Blyth. All are of interest and in J11877, at Blyth Bates, branch, with 56127, on a coal train to the Bates loader, in April, 1991, the second wagon, from the camera, on the right, has some well distorted sides. I think if you tried doing that on a model no one would believe it. With warmest regards, Rob.

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted March 7, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2021 Photos of the Ravenglass and Eskdale today. I've always enjoyed my visits to the line but I don't think I'd want to drive there and back in a day any more - any future visits will involve a couple of nights in a hotel, much more relaxing.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted March 7, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 7, 2021 Good evening, David. I like the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway photo’s of which all are of interest. That’s a very nice portrait shot of Ravenglass, with Severn Lamb, ‘Shelagh of Eskdale’, on the 7th August, 1987, in C8765. The diesel provides quite a contrast to the steam locomotives. The ECML in Northumberland photo’s are as interesting as always, and provide a most excellent insight into the main line as it passes through the county. In J13835, at Newham with a DVT and a class 91 on an up service, in April, 1993, you have a view which conveys the line passing through the countryside and the electric train provides a total contrast. If only scenes like that could be fully recaptured in model form. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
