AndyB Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Enjoying your photos, David. Especially the LTS and Great Eastern. Any remote chance you might have photos taken between Ilford and Manor Park; my old spotting location. Best. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted July 14, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 14, 2014 Hi, Dave. Good to see the Great Eastern. I like the Stratford 47, even if it is a little grubby looking! Is that a 'portion' that the class 37 is hauling at Manningtree South in May '75, I wonder? Please keep the photo's coming. All the best, Market65.

I think the nearest would be Stratford to the east and a few at Harold Wood area to the west. I usually avoided the "built up" bits when I could.

I do wonder that, both Dad and I took a photo of it so it must have been one evening when we had met up for a meal (he worked in Ipswich for a while when I was living in Basildon).

eastwestdivide Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 ... Is that a 'portion' that the class 37 is hauling at Manningtree South in May '75, I wonder? ... There were such things as relief boat trains, at least in about 1981, when I caught the relief from Liv St-Harwich, a 37 and 4-5 Mk1s. Could be one of those?? Although I don't know the location well enough to say if that photo's on the branch or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi There were also a weekly train taking disabled people and their carers on holiday to the Shaftesbury Society at Dovercourt, normally these would be a couple of coaches and a full brake for the wheelchair users, may be this one of these workings. There is a photo of a Shaftesbury Society train in Dr Ian Allen's "Diesels in East Anglia". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold DaveF Posted July 15, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 15, 2014 A few I took at lunchtime today, more older ones to come this evening. I happened to be in Morpeth and called in at the station on the way home. The 142 was the service from Newcastle to Morpeth and back, roughly hourly. Morpeth 91107 down Morpeth 142 026 Newcastle to Morpeth Morpeth 142 026 ecs to sidings Morpeth 142026 ecs from sidings Morpeth 142026 Morpeth to Newcastle Morpeth 221 down David 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porcy Mane Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) Wrong side of the Tyne, pet.. Pedant and trivia mode ON: Only if you're relating to the car park. Some Get Carter scenes were shot in Manors station. Specifically the Subway entrance opposite the "Power House". In the railway arches that lies directly under the first car in the DMU set, a "baddie" took his last breath in the 1960 film "Payroll". Pedant and trivia mode OFF: IIRC, the red-brick building behind the 47 was the offices above/next-to the power station for the former tramway system; by the time we moved up there in 1982, the downstairs bit was some sort of Corporation depot. Became "Generator" Night Club. Yee haa...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted July 15, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 15, 2014 Hi, Dave. The photo's of Toton are very good. I particularly like the first three, for they are useful from a weathering point of view. Please keep the photo's coming. All the best, Market65.

buckdancer Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 A visit to Manors, just "north" or east of Newcastle Central this evening. b Manors Class 101 Morpeth to Newcastle Feb 80_J6785.jpg Manors Class 101 Morpeth to Newcastle Feb 80 J6785 David Thanks David - I now realise the platforms on my layout don't look authentic because they are way too narrow....

Porcy Mane Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 How can you tell? That black patch on the end? Cleats in the middle of the side/end panels and drop door. (With ties still dangling) P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 How can you tell? That black patch on the end? The black patch on the end was for the person uncoupling the portions (cuts) for hump-shunting to put the siding number on for the hump controller. The hump controller sat in that building to the left of the picture; the very building, in fact, in which that was explained to me when visiting Toton Yard during the Easter holidays in 1972. Lots of merchandise wagons had a small plywood panel on the RHS of the end for the same reason. I wasn't aware any 16-tonners had cleats for attaching sheets to; you learn something every day, don't you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porcy Mane Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I wasn't aware any 16-tonners had cleats for attaching sheets to; you learn something every day, don't you? I think it was a batch of 100. Must go and find my reference. P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I think it was a batch of 100. Must go and find my reference. P Presumably these were replaced by the ice-blue Covhops? The only 16-tonners I'd seen cleats on were the cupboard-door ones that SNCF returned at the end of the 1940s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwealleans Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 That was what I thought the black patch was for and my eyesight wasn't up to picking out the cleats. I've been educated as well this morning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
