Good evening, David. That’s a delightful replacement set of photo’s of Sleaford. The last photo’ of an unidentified class 44, on an up goods train, in January, 1977, is a most excellent portrait shot of the locomotive. On enlarging the photo’, it maybe the last digit is a 4. If so, that would make it 44004.

The latest Morpeth photo’s are an excellent set, and in J9404, with a two car power twin of class 101, on a Newcastle to Alnmouth  service, in January, 1988, it is giving a good impression of a steam locomotive with the thick white exhaust. 
 

With warmest regards,

 

Rob.

I thought we'd have a few more photos this evening.  They were taken at an Open Weekend on the Middleton Railway at Claytons works in Leeds in early September 1965.

Good evening, again, David. That’s a fascinating selection of photo’s of the Middleton Railway at Claytons works in Leeds from early September, 1965. J362, of the Sentinel engine, is of particular interest from the LNER point of view. I cannot recall whether that particular example was ex-LNER or not. The ex-GWR, former broad gauge, steam crane, and tram, J367, will be of interest to all those who like the GWR, with some good details to be seen of the crane.

 

With warmest regards,

 

Rob.

LNER Sentinels had a number 54 see, https://www.lner.info/locos/Y/y1y3.php

The photos are from opposite sides, but it may be the same loco.

Photo J367 shows the Swansea and Mumbles tram that was scheduled for preservation. Unfortunately it was vandalised along with several other trams stored at the site, and eventually burnt out.

I like how there is just a merest hint of "blue" in the parcels train in C2582.

[corneliuslundie]

Is it just a trick of the light or are all the other vehicles "blue" but too dirty to tell?

And David, I feel that you deserve tomorrow off.

Hi Dave, 

 

Just to say thank you for your continued posting from your marvellous photo collection, 'm really enjoying some of your 'replacements' which I hadn't seen first time round, due to the comparatively late date I first discovered your thread.

 

Wishing you and those who follow your thread the Best possible Christmas and a Happy New Year.

 

Wholeheartedly agree with Corneliuslundie that you deserve the day off from posting here tomorrow.

 

Regards,

 

                 John

I'm not sure yet about toimorrow and photos, I shall be at home by myself for the first time (I used to go to Mum's and cook us both a meal) so I might have time on my hands.

 

Some black and white photos at Trent Junction this afternoon from the early 1950s.

Displaying perfectly well here Dave, on an Apple Laptop running Safari.

 

Thanks so much for continuing to post these pictures which are both entertaining and informative, daily.  Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year!

[russ p]

Thanks David for keeping us entertained on a daily basis for another year. Hope you can find some form of enjoyment tomorrow,  I feel for you dearly as I lost my mum earlier this week 

[Andrew P]

I'll never catch up with the 18 pages that I have missed since last on here, but I will have a look over the next few days.

All the best at what must be a difficult time of year for you this year. 

Seasons Greetings and here's to 2023.

[Market65]

Good evening, David.

 

Firstly, I hope you can have a good day tomorrow, and please don’t worry about posting photo’s if you don’t feel able to.

 

Now, those black and white photo’s of Trent Junction, from the early 1950’s are all displaying correctly, and are such gems. The first photo’ of a  2F, on an up goods train, c1949, seems, on enlarging the photo’, to be 43807, which, combined with the boiler side handrails being on the same level with the one on the smokebox, and the height of the chimney, a class 3F.
The photo’s of the Kent and East Sussex Railway at Tenterden in the 1970’s photo’s are a delightful selection, and the last one of Terrier, number 10, Sutton, & No 26, leaving, in September, 1978, is a most delightful three quarter shot of the Terrier. 
 

With warmest regards,

 

Rob.

Dave.

As others have said, thanks for your postings, and have a Merry Christmas and a good New Year.

If it is 43807 as 'Market65' states, it was a 1906, Deeley 3F, later re-built by Fowler with a Belpaire boiler.

It was allocated to 15C Leicester in 1952, but had gone by 1955. (info' from Combines and Locoshed Books).

Nothing better to do! Research is always good. What is fun is using the formula at the front of the Ian Allen spotters books to work out the tractive effort of the listed locomotives and see if it matches! Try it. You will still be sitting there 4 hours later......🤪

Trent 8F 48666 down goods Dec 54 JVol7036

Nice to see a photo of 8666 in earlier times. I have several shots of this engine, which showed its displeasure at the coming end of steam and winning immortality by dropping off the track at Rose Grove on 2 August 1968.

Happy Christmas Dave.

Hope you have a decent day.

 

[DaveF]

Merry Christmas everyone.

Actually Dave's earlier photo is of 48466 ...

[LMS2968]

You're right.

 

Both Dave and I should have gone to Specsavers!
