RMweb Gold Market65 Posted March 21 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 21 Good evening, David, and everyone else. Firstly I want to thank you all for your support and help, and your supportive pm, David. It is very much appreciated after yesterday evening’s mixup. I still don’t know exactly what I did. I have decided to leave that errant post as a reminder so, hopefully, I will not have anymore mixups. So, with permission, I think I will post my comments to yesterday’s photo’s, and then follow them up with the comments on today’s photo’s. So, from yesterday, that’s a great selection of photo’s of the Midland at Kegworth. The first photo’ of a Class 44 on an up coal train, in January, 1970, is an excellent head on shot of the locomotive, and it can be seen that the discs only have very faint lights, not the bright lights to be found on some RTR models. The photo’s at Otterington, on the ECML, are a superb set. J494, of WD, 90011, on a down iron ore train, in May, 1966, is a most excellent photo’, and how well weathered the WD is. And now for today’s excellent photo’s, the Sittingbourne and Kemsley as preserved in 1975 and 1979 photo’s are a delightful set. C2095, Bagnall, Superb, running round, in May, 1975, is a lovely portrait shot of the locomotive. The photo’s at Kirkby Stephen on the Settle and Carlisle, in the 1990’s are a superb selection. C21772, of 142093 and 156471, on a Leeds to Carlisle service, on the 10th April, 1997, is a well composed shot of the train. It also reminds me of a story where a friend, at that time, was travelling over the line regularly, and one day an old couple asked him about the train. He strongly advised them not to travel in the Pacer, but in the 156. They did so, and enjoyed the journey. With warmest regards, Rob. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted March 22 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 22 Good evening, David. That’s a fantastic set of photo’s of railways without trains in North Wales on the Cambrian and LNWR line to Blaenau Ffestiniog. The last photo’ at Roman Bridge, on the 23rd July, 2002, is a most enchanting, scenic view. The photo’s from trips to Scotland in 1973 and 1974, taken at Craigendoran, are a superb selection. J3333, of Class 303 043, on a Helensburgh to Airdrie service, in August, 1973, is a delightful and well composed shot of a Blue Train before the cabs were disfigured with the vandal proof replacement outer cab windows.

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted March 23 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted March 23 (edited) Switzerland again this morning, this time at Emmenbrücke just north of Luzern. It is the junction for the Seetalbahn which runs partly along the road to Lenzburg while the main line goes to Olten and beyond. If you go there today you will find it looks very different, the junction to the Seetalbahn has moved and a completley new stretch of line built to link to the old route. The stripes on the loco and coach in the first photo are to improve visibilty on the section where the railway runs along the road.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted March 23 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 23 Good evening, David. That’s a great set of photo’s of Switzerland again this at Emmenbrücke just north of Luzern, on the 3rd August, 1988. C10076, of Ee3/3, 16410, is a most delightful portrait shot of the locomotive. The photo’s at Ardwick in Manchester, from January, 1972, are a superb selection, and, as stated, show a typical day with that dull and cold weather. C0785, of Class 506, M59601, on a Manchester Piccadilly to Hadfield service, is a great photo’, and the cab front of the EMU is just so stark, adding to the gloomy conditions.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted March 24 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 24 Good evening, David. That’s a great set of photo’s of Carlisle. C9420, of 85020, on a down empty steel train, on the 12th April, 1988, is a well composed photo’, and there appears to be a light out in what was the headcode box. The Laindon photo’s, on on the London Tilbury and Southend line, are of great interest. The last photo’ of 302243, on a Fenchurch St to Shoeburyness working, in May, 1979, is a superb shot of the train going about it’s everyday work without any fanfare. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
