Mol_PMB Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Great photos as ever. I’m always interested to see PO wagons with the utility lettering and remnants of original livery. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 28 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 28 Good evening, David. That’s a fantastic set of photo’s of Radcliffe on Trent, and the remains of Bingham Road station on the GN and LNWR Joint line to Melton Mowbray and beyond. The first photo’ at Radcliffe on Trent, of the River Trent bridge, newly rebuilt, in April, 1980, looks superb, and it was clearly looking as good as new. The black and white photo’s of Lenton North Junction in Nottinghamshire, from c1948, 1950 and 1952, are a splendid selection. JVol2242, of 3F, 3711, on an up parcels train, in c1948, is a superb shot of the short train being hauled tender first. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 29 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 29 Good evening, David. That’s a fantastic mixed bag of photo’s, with four in North Wales - two LNWR and two Cambrian Railway - and two others. C7486, of Holywell Junction signalbox, on the 19th April, 1986, is a superb photo’ of the box. The Woodhead route photo’s are a great selection. C3268, at Torside, with two Class 76’s on a westbound coal train, in April, 1977, being a splendid photo’ of a typical coal train in later years.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 30 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 30 Good evening, David. That’s a great mixed bag of photo’s on Midland lines. C3898, at Awsworth, with a Class 20 on an up light engine movement, with the GNR viaduct behind, in June, 1978, being a most excellent composition. The viaduct makes a fascinating backdrop to the class 20. The photo’s of Carlisle are a superb selection, and the last photo’ of 47482, on the 12th April, 1988, is a splendid portrait shot of the locomotive at rest.

The photo shows the main line heading north, taken from Alfreton Road. The junction for the Midland Railway Butterley is a bit further south.

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted January 31 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted January 31 (edited) I am very near the end of the current batch of reinstated photos so there are a lot of odds and ends. I will be starting on the next folder of 12months photos in just over a week. Hence today there are 4 photos on the London Tilbury and Southend and one in Devon on a less well known line which closed over a hundred years ago.
