Peter Kazmierczak Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 David, Whilst you were at Kegworth, did you get any pictures of the mineral line to Kingston Gypsum Mine? Nice photos (esp the Cl.27) by the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have one in colour somewhere which will doubtless surface in due course. David 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted October 9, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 9, 2014 Hi, Dave. Such excellent photo's. Scout Green is a good place for photography, with some great photo's taken on September, 28th. The Midland mainline is always good to see, and I like that one of class 45 D101 at Kegworth in blue with small yellow panels. Also that class 27 is very interesting indeed, for I was not aware of much use of them on the line. Please keep the photo's coming. All the best, Market65.

RMweb Gold DaveF Posted October 10, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 10, 2014 A few from Northumberland this afternoon, taken earlier this week on Tuesday morning. The location is Ulgham Lane crossing, a few miles north of Morpeth on the ECML. There is space to park by the crossing on a nice quiet lane. The most open views are looking from the west (as in these photos), the light is obviously better from that side in the afternoon. It is possible to take photos from the east but the undergrowth and trees have grown a lot over the past 34 years since I started going there. There is a field on the eastern side a little way south along the lane which usually has a good view of the railway but this year the farmer is growing sweetcorn which is over 6 feet tall, so no view! Just to the north is Butterwell Junction where the coal branch from Potland Burn loading Point joins the main line, the junction can be seen in some of the photos I'll add tomorrow.

Thank you for every single pic you posted! Hear hear! But talking of Likes, have you noticed Dave how many more Likes the older stuff generally gets than your photos of the current scene? The newer photos are just as good if not better technically, so perhaps its a reflection of the age profile of RMWeb members? Or that nostalgia sells? Whatever, please keep them coming.

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted October 10, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) Wonderful Dave! I reckon the Peak in C857 is my old friend (D)15 following its repair and replacement of split headcode boxes and nose end doors with a centre headcode box. As to 1634 in C824 - do you think its 1834? 1634 was a western lines loco and had the usual W under the numbers which are lacking here - https://www.flickr.com/photos/59835095@N02/6263062449/in/set-72157627649152349 - also that looks like a black ER depot code sticker although according to Class 47.co.uk that wasn't an ER loco either.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted October 10, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 10, 2014 Hi, Dave. Great photo's tonight. Love those of Chesterfield. I think that the portable lighting would in connection with Power Workers or Mineworkers industrial action which was taking place at the time. I certainly remember the blackouts - you could make out all the stars in the night sky! Please keep the photo's coming. All the best, Market65.

cheesysmith Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 That first phOto of the 08 is on a trip working to the sidings just beyond the station. The T99 target on the front is a giveaway. Nice colection of wagons behind it, inclueding a very clean 16 ton mineral. The shed has since been demolished to extend the car park, and the line that leads off to the industrial unit now ends just over the bridge that goes over the bypass. The lighting looks like it is being used due to work on the bridge that passes under the station there, you can see some equipment on the other platform, and no other temp lighting anywhere else on the station.

Fat Controller Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Though one of the wagons bears the 'Motorail' plate, I'd suggest the train in C736 is an empty car-delivery train; 'Motorail stock was often used in these outside of the summer period. At the time there would have been workings for Ford from Dagenham to Wakefield, Gateshead and the Edinburgh area (Bathgate or Leith?); this is possibly one of these.
