RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 30, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 30, 2016 Hi, Dave. Truly excellent photo's of Little Bytham. Express trains, Deltics and 47's. You can't really ask for more. With warmest regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted January 30, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) "How did they get away with 105s on the KX-Cambridge trains?" They certainly did, and a little later than 1969 there was an evening KX-Cambridge working that was a 105. Not only rattly but very dusty. Sit down and clouds of dust flew up. Purgatory after a couple of hours overtime. The Brampton branch served a yard just east of and behind Goytside Terrace (eight three storey houses) which was originally a colliery, ran along what is now called Goytside Road and terminated roughly where Morrisons now is. Talltim of this parish can give more information. It was cut back in this area many years ago. Yes, that fancy gate does mark the route. Part is now a footpath. And Little Bytham in your photos is difficult to reconcile with Tony Wright's layout often illustrated on this site. I am afraid I prefer his version.

35A Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Dave - The green class 47 in J2420 on 1N12 is captioned 1989 - but if you blow it up it's clearly D1104. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porcy Mane Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Still awaiting cemflo pics!! Mike, I'll look after you son. Some rather tasty colour pics have recently appeared on Flickr of Cemflos passing through Newcastle in 1965. Rather than do my normal thing and hijack Dave's topic I've started a new thread. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/107721-cemflos-cliffe-uddingston-flow-silver-queens/&do=findComment&comment=2185185 *Warning* You may need the assistance of your nurse to sooth palpitations and administer kleenex.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 31, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 31, 2016 Hi, Dave. Great to see how things were at Tyseley back in September, 1970. It was fairly early days for preservation back then. The Great Eastern photo's are a good selection. There is a most excellent portrait of 08 767 in the last two photo's. With warmest regards, Rob.

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted February 1, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Mostly Class 47s at Swayfield on the ECML south of Grantham (for those who haven't seen the thread before and don't know the ECML well). Once again the photos are from the early 70s and were probably taken on Saturdays, though looking at the months some might have been on a weekday. It was a period when you never knew what might turn up and there was still a mix of liveries to be seen.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 1, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Hi, Dave. Some great photo's of Swayfield today. It is good seeing all those class 1 trains powering by. You really must have enjoyed yourself. A good mixture of 37's and 47's, which seem to have been the two classes of diesels in use on the ECML at that time after the Deltics.

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted February 1, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) More Smashing stuff Dave I reckon that 37 in J2484 is one of the 6960 - 6968 air braked series allocated to Stratford - the additional lamp bracket above the headcode box is the give away, haven't seen that fitting on any others. Freightliner would be AB working of course Terminal digit looks like a 7 perhaps which would make it 6967 Cheers Phil Edited February 1, 2016 by Phil Bullock Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark54 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 1A08 was the 07:55 Bradford/08:30 Leeds-KX. 1A26 was the 13:35 Leeds-KX. I can't find anything for the oil train. Maybe it was diverted off the GN&GE Joint line through Peterborough? 4C60 was the 07:40 (or thereabouts) Leeds Stourton FLT to Tilbury FLT. 1L13 was the 11:30 KX-Harrogate (Saturdays formation). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted February 2, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Mum returned home yesterday evening from hospital. At present she needs a lot of help but at least I have flexibility in times of going to help her - and she is now only 5 minutes away. Many thanks again to all who have sent their good wishes. Today the photos are from near Ayciffe on the ECML in County Durham. They were all taken on the same day, 5th August 1976. They were taken during a "pit stop" while heading to Scotland for a holiday.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 2, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hi, Dave. That is excellent news about your Mum. At the very least she is now back home, which is where she needs to be. I understand what you are saying about all the care that she will be needing, but at least she is home, which is the main thing. The photo's of Aycliffe are very good, and show how parched things were by early August in the long, hot, sunny summer of '76. A great selection of trains to be seen in those photos. With warmest regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caradoc Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 David, better news about your mother, hopefully she will continue to recover.

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted February 3, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2016 A few photos from two visits to Carlisle in April 1987 for today. I'm now wondering why I went to Carlisle twice in a month - I wish I'd kept a dairy then as well as making notes of the photos I took. Very often when looking at my photos I wonder why I had gone somewhere on a particular day.
