RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 21, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2018 Hi, Dave. I like the photo's of Bottesford. In particular, C5856, of two Class 20's lead by 20147, and the class 37, 37256, looks most stately in the first photo'. It's so good we can go back to the good old days in these glorious photo's each day. I hope they can keep going. With warmest regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERS Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 One of my favourite stretches of line, still has a very clear GN identity even today. The shot of 20 147 brings back many memories of this loco, it was one of the final remaining ones in green and gained something of celebrity status among the enthusiasts locally. It turned up regularly at Corby on mineral traffic from Toton and similarly had a number of weekends away at Skeggy, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

35A Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 This evening we'll have another visit to Bottesford on the Grantham to Nottingham line. Bottesford 20147 and ano to Skegness Aug 82 C5856.jpg Bottesford 20147 and ano to Skegness Aug 82 C5856 20 147 appeared many times on the "Jolly Fisherman" during August 1982 - always paired with 20 113, which this would appear to be, given that it's disc-fitted.

I had never associated the difference with being anything to do with the tablet catcher - I'd always assumed that the 1957-built locos (D8000-D8127) had the larger cabside windows and discs, whilst the 1967 batch (D8128-D8199, D8300-D8327) had the smaller cabside window and headcode boxes.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 22, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hi, Dave. I like the Great Western photos. The first one at Harescombe is a great view of Peak, number 30 at work on a down express passenger train, in April, 1972. I see a track had been lifted by that date, for Harescombe was originally four tracks. With warmest regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium D.Platt Posted January 23, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hi, Dave. I like the Newcastle to Carlisle photos. Apart from that one at Corbridge, the first one at Blaydon is of interest too. The Monkhouse and Brown building is good and grim! It's crying out to be modelled. With warmest regards, Rob. Sorry for the delay just seen the photo of Monkhouse and Brown and agree that it would make a good background in modelling my question,as a steel stockholder were they rail connected ?
