RMweb Gold Market65 Posted July 31, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 31, 2014 Hi, Dave. What terrific photo's of 'everyday' trains here. Two which I have particularly noticed are J0918, Steeton and Silsden, June, '67, with Black 5 44778 and an 8F. I was always told that the nickname for 8F, in East Yorkshire, was 'Black 8'. Not sure of its origins. The photo' J651, at Kildwick, September, 1966, of a Morecambe to Leeds DMU, has a '108' DTCL, followed by a '111' Rolls-Royce(the different exhaust pipes are just visible, along with the larger radiators) DMBS, then a twin '104', with a DTCL leading. Really enjoying all of these remarkable photo's, and please do keep them coming. All the best, Market65. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted August 1, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2014 A few trains crossing Harrogate Stray this evening. This viewpoint is to the south of the station. The Stray is about 200 acres of grassland mainly to the south and east of the Town Centre. At the time we were living about 100 yards from this viewpoint. These photos were taken with a Fujica half frame camera so the original slides were half the size of a normal 35m slide Harrogate Class 37 and brake tender up ICI tanks June 65 J201 Harrogate B1 Harrogate to Kings X Aug 65 J244 Harrogate Class 37 D6733 White Rose Harrogate to Kings X Oct 65 J411 Harrogate LMS Class 5 44617 with snowplough Harrogate to Kings X Jan 66 J434 Harrogate Class 40 D282 up goods April 66 J466 David 27 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny777 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 There was a certain "quality" about EE diesels in BR green livery. I know the corporate blue enthusiasts disagree, but I thought all over green (or the two/tone equivalent) with the old BR symbol and a small yellow panel, looked very good on most classes of 1960s diesels. Maybe it is because I grew up with them painted that way? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kazmierczak Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 With the EE Type 3s and 4s in particular, the green/small yellow panel really suited them (in my opinion). Whether EE used a better quality paint or had a better application process I don't know, but these two types always seemed to have a certain "sheen" about their bodywork that BR-built Peaks and Type 2s never had . Hated full yellow ends on green diesels though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted August 1, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 1, 2014 Hi, Dave. Great to see The Stray, Harrogate. Yes, the EE loco's in green do have a certain appeal about them. I remember a class 37 on a York to Hull via Market Weighton train back in the summer '64, which looked really good in its green livery, as does D6733 in photo' J411. Please keep these photo's coming. All the best, Market65. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted August 2, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 2, 2014 Hi, Dave. Exceptional photo's this evening. NER hopper wagons and class 14's. A wonderful combination. I've examples of both on my layout. Photo' C5425, Lynemouth to Ashington, June, 1981, is an incredibly atmospheric photo', and I also like C5897, Ashington Sidings, December, 1982 - such a collection of wagons here. Please keep these wonderful photo's coming. All the best, Market65. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 31A Posted August 2, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 2, 2014 What a variety of wagons in C5897 - the whole span of coal hoppers, almost - from wooden to air braked! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Scottish Modeller Posted August 2, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 2, 2014 What a variety of wagons in C5897 - the whole span of coal hoppers, almost - from wooden to air braked! Hi all, Agreed - walking round Ashington could be like a Wagonphiles best dream! Wagons ranged from ex NE hoppers to modern HEA hoppers with a wide variety spanning the ages between these wagon designs. How many varieties of the ubiquitous 16t Mineral Wagon would you want to see? Nearly everything that had either bottom or end doors including ex LNER, ex LMS and ex MOD ones! Still loads of ex PO wooden bodied wagons as well. Such things are memories, things to be shared..... Just a shame I only had an Instamatic 126 camera at the time! Thanks 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
