RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 20, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 20, 2017 Hi, Dave. A great set of photos of Inverness and Georgemas Junction today. In the first photo at Inverness, on the right is a class 122 car, which I think is standing in for a class 120 Cross Country DMBC. It certainly would have been a long way to travel in a suburban unit whichever of the services it will have worked in from. With warmest regards, Rob.

All the best Guy Hi Guy and David The wagons in J2077 are not ore wagons. They do belong to Stewart Lloyds of Corby but they are coal tipplers built by Charles Roberts. They are often labeled as iron ore hoppers but they carried coal.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 21, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hi, Dave. An truly excellent set of photo's. So nostalgic, and the last two are very wintry. An great photo' of a class 31 in J2078 at Ashwell, it would be wonderful to see a model weathered like that. With warmest regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastMidlander Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Always good to see photos of my old stomping ground on the Syston and Peterborough, albeit three years before my interest started. Incidentally i've just happened across some photos of Melton Mowbray c.1980. I just need access to a scanner.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 22, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hi, Dave. I like the photos of Morpeth. In C5894, with the 101 on an ECS working, the drawhook on the bufferbeam under the driver's cab is at an acute angle. I just hope it was safe, when so angled, to couple up another unit. The photo of 37015 in the last photo on a coal train makes a sight for sore eyes. Again, Dave, thank you for taking all these photos. They are all such gems. With warmest regards, Rob.

Smashing shots again Dave Phil Ooops - those clips were fitted from new to at least some of the WR D68XX and were also fitted on at least some of the Hymeks from new and of course on the D10XX and were intended for a new pattern of headboard (an example being duly tried on a D10XX although not in traffic if the photos are any guide). So they date from around 1959/60 in drawing office terms, so long before the Central Wales Line was reduced to near 'light railway' status with a requirement for a headlamp at certain level crossings. However I think that apart from a try out at Swindon with a new style headboard the only thing they were ever actually used for was the bar carrying the headlight on Central Wales Line equipped locos Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted February 23, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 23, 2017 Hi, Dave. Such excellent photos of Harrogate today. So nostalgic, and show there was a good variety of trains still running back in the mid sixties which we don't get so much on today's unit railway. D171 was looking very good, and of the Pullmans two had white roofs from, I presume, a recent overhaul. With warmest regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
