RMweb Gold DaveF Posted April 16, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 16, 2017 the black of the headcode and lights stand out oddly like they were added on in paint or photoshop When I looked at the photo I thought the same, but it really was just like that. Dave, C0821, the leading DMU car is a Class 108, but the rest of the train appears to be 101s Many thanks. Will I ever learn to identify dmu vehicles?

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted April 16, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 16, 2017 Hi, Dave. A great set of photos from Crich, with in the first photo, what looks like a perilous situation, with the right hand rail possibly terminating just in front of the tram. I hope I've got it wrong. I hope that there are more photos from Crewe. Crewe is a true railway centre of great significance. With warmest regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In photo C8347 (page 391 post #9760) the DMU running number is M54247. In photo J550 (page 393 post #9813) the 3rd vehicle in the train looks like an early Mk2 FK...

RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted April 17, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 17, 2017 Raskelf BR Type 2 D5230?? down freight July 66 J543 Class 25 Having looked close at the pic, I too would query the number. The last digit isn't a 0, and as this bodyshell ended at D5232 I don't think its D523X, looks a bit like D5226/8 to my (ropey) eyes. Any further offers?

I think it will have been a photo taken on a day when Dad didn't write down the numbers but took them off the slides later on. Agfa film was never that sharp, especially when the camera produced half frame images (24x18mm) so working out the numbers was very difficult. I would be very pleased if someone does work out which loco it really is. David Edited April 17, 2017 by DaveF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot post the whole image as I sold the negative with copyright some time ago, but as part of the sale terms was able to keep a scan for my own use. Below is a small part of the scan showing the number. So it really is D5230. David Edited April 17, 2017 by DaveF 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted April 17, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 17, 2017 Hi, Dave. I like the Darlington to Stanhope photo's. The first photo of class 141, 55518 and 55538, show that those units were placed in service on journeys which they were not really fit for. I know that happened to first generation units too, with, for example, suburban sets put into service on London to West Country holiday extra services. With warmest regards, Rob.

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted April 18, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) Yesterday I visited the Tanfield Railway. They had an Edwardian Weekend over Easter. I'll post a few photos each day for the rest of the week of the trains and people. As you will see you can still walk around the engine shed. The "normal" daily posts will continue as well.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted April 18, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 18, 2017 Hi, Dave. A great set of photo's of the Tanfield Railway from your visit yesterday. It's a great railway. The East Yorkshire photos are excellent, and they would fit in well in my East Yorkshire Railways thread. The last one of Beverley station level crossing could have been taken today, for although the photo is undated, it is still exactly as in that photo. With warmest regards, Rob.

I would like to put forward D5135 as the identity of the class 24 in photo J2107. That's what the number looks like to me in a larger version of the photo, and if the dates on other photos are to be believed, D5135 was in GSYP livery until 1972, and had the radiator overflow stain just behind the radiator fan as in your photo.
