Regards Guy I was wondering the same thing but looking at it again, it looks as though there may be more further back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 J2513 is a cracking little junction scene - full length expresses going past a junction with sidings. Could have the passenger trains going roundy-roundy while shunting the mineral trains going on/off the branch I think Mr Jackson of Retford fame and Mr Wright of Little Bytham fame did exactly that some years ago, although I was never lucky enough to see it!

mark54 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 1A14 was the 08:48 Halifax/09:00 Bradford/09:30 Leeds-KX. The 3rd coach is the 1957 Cravens prototype SO. 1A22 was the 11:00 Newcastle-KX. 1A14 again, but retimed now 08:30 Halifax/08:50 Bradford/09:20 Leeds-KX. 1E11 was the 12:00 Edinburgh-KX. The set is return working of the down Flying Scotsman from the previous day. C3119 from the coaching set was the 09:20 Newcastle-KX. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted November 3, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 3, 2016 I was wondering the same thing but looking at it again, it looks as though there may be more further back. Hi. It, on close examination, is a Cravens Mk1 prototype. The rest of the train is Mk1's with not a Thompson in sight. Regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leander Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I think Mr Jackson of Retford fame and Mr Wright of Little Bytham fame did exactly that some years ago, although I was never lucky enough to see it! I don't think that Mr Wright was involved with 'High Dyke' which was built to EM gauge. Along with Mr Jackson, Messrs Kent and Phillips certainly were though.

don Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Farringdon view west of BR lines May 79 C4501.jpg Farringdon view west of BR lines May 79 C4501 Good evening David,some memories brought back with that picture. That little spurr off to the left was the home of The Snow Hill Banker,probably the most hated rostered job at Hornsey depot,especialy on the night turn,having your brain rattled in the cab of a 350 diesel for 6 hrs,oh how we wished for a busy night but usualy deadly quiet after 2am! Occasionaly a LT maintenance train to break the monotany and a returning south London exchange freight on its way to Ferme Park and home! Happy days? Don.

35A Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) Another lovely set from my old ECML stamping ground. Always good to see the aerial views of High Dyke sidings - I only ever got to see them as we sped past, usually occupied by two or three of the tablet catcher fitted batch of class 31s (D5670-D5676). J2517 - a nice shot of "Gordon Highlander". At this point she was the last remaining Deltic to carry the D prefix in her number. Later in the year she was outshopped from Doncaster with a new coat of blue and, uniquely, with the numbers in a slightly higher than standard position, which lasted until renumbering.

Do you mean tablet catcher as opposed to trip cock? Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Fitness Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Bus anorak mode...ON. J1732; lovely picture of a North Western AEC Reliance! Did a bit of digging on the registration VDB 920. Although it says North Western on the front, I think it possibly did some time with Trent too. When it was retired it went on to further service in (I think) North Wales. On a slightly different tip (bear with me here!) , a privately owned ex North Western Leyland Leopard with an Alexander body with a registration VDB 916 has been unearthed and work started on a very major restoration. When the present owner obtained it the correct registration mark had already been sold off so a suitable replacement one has been purchased....VDB 920! So although the bus has gone, the mark still exists on another bus...which happens to be parked about 60 ft away from my own vintage bus at Freckleton. Bus anorak mode..OFF!

leopardml2341 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Agree about the DMUs David, my local transport on Rotherham/Sheffield and Rotherham/Doncaster spotting trips in the early and mid 70's - hated them! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted November 4, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 4, 2016 Hi, Dave. A great set of photos. The units are the 114's, that had a tendency to sway from side to side when traversing point work! I love the scene in C3461, the station had clearly seen better days. With warmest regards, Rob.

RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted November 4, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 4, 2016 I assume that "Troublesome Truck" is for refuelling the ferry rather than the DMU - or was this some secret BR experiment?! Jonathan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

talisman56 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) C8969 - a nice 'pile up' in the background. I can see a Mk.1 Escort and a Marina, a Mk2 Cortina(?) and possibly a Merc - any advance on the others? Edited November 5, 2016 by talisman56 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
