RMweb Gold russ p Posted June 20, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 20, 2015 Excellent pictures as usual Dave, 6328 got me thinking. How many sets of boom gates still remain? I know Redcar still has them. There is also an example of the other strange north eastern region crossing at nunthorpe,mechanical barriers. With regards to boom gates I know parkeston had a set but were there any more outside of the NER? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 20, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) Hi, Dave. Love the photo's of Morpeth. Also some great photo's from your Dad as well - especially interesting to see those of 35029 Ellerman Lines. I also like photo' C5266 of Deltic 55005 'The Prince Of Wales Own Regiment Of Yorkshire', at Morpeth on 17th January, 1981, in the snow - a truly wonderful shot. All the best, Market65.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 21, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 21, 2015 Hi, Dave. I like the GCR photo's, especially the one of Butler Henderson with the smokebox door open. The Midland Railway photo's at Kibworth and Wyfordby are true classics - I love them. All the best, Market65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERS Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Interesting pic of the iron ore empties at Wyfordby. Presumably these would have been heading for Cottesmore/ Exton from Scunthorpe. Pics of workings to and from Exton seem pretty rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted June 22, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) A few from the Tanfield Railway this afternoon. They were taken yesterday at the "Legends of Industry" weekend, with visiting locos "Mech Navvies 71515", an RSH Austerity from the Pontypool and Blaenavion Railway and Kitson A No5 from the North Tyneside Railway. I'll add them to the thread in the order I took them over the next few days. The first batch are all taken at Marley Hill, where the loco shed, carriage shed and stock sidings are situated. Note: As usual all the photos were taken from locations accessible to anyone. DSC_6523 Marley Hill A 5 andTwizell Twizell was built by Stephensons in 1891. DSC_6525 Marley Hill A 5 and Twizell DSC_6531 Marley Hill Armstrong Whitworth No 2 and Hawthorn Leslie No 2 DSC_6536 Marley Hill Cochrane Sir Cecil A Cochrane was built by RSH in 1948 DSC_6538 Marley Hill A general view from the carriage shed. DSC_6541Marley Hill A No5 Heading north to Sunniside. The line in the foreground is on the trackbed of the Bowes Railway which had a flat crossing with the Tanfield Railway - the cutting on the far side has been filled in and is now the car park. The line is now the headshunt for the loco shed. Edited (several times) for punctuation and spelling. My keyboard seems to have an aversion to double letters.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 22, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 22, 2015 Hi, Dave. Liking the photo's of the Tanfiled Railway, and look forward to more of them. The photo's of the GE at Haughley Junction in January, 1979 have made me feel very cold! Good to see 31195 performing a run round and then departing ECS to Stowmarket - plenty of steam escaping from the Mk1's in the bitter cold conditions. In the last photo', C4304, the DMU, on enlarging the photo', looks to have the larger buffers of a class 114, but perhaps I'm wrong... All the best, Market65.

It is a 114, I've just checked another photo taken of it - already on this thread and also mis-captioned as a 108 (I've corrected it now). Thanks very much once again.

Jon Fitness Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) Lovely snowy pictures at Haughley and the steam from the heating in C4285 really captures the atmosphere...

Hi Market It is a 114, it has no lights below the cab windows and a light mounted above the destination blind. Class 108s had lights below the cab windows and none were fitted with the light above the destination box. This means of telling them apart is a recent discovery for me, I only noticed it when building my 114 unit. Class 114 units were later fitted with lights below the cab windows when they were refurbished. Edited June 22, 2015 by Clive Mortimore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
