Anthony_S Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Really enjoying the discussion these photos have generated. Time for a couple more, taken at Winwick Quay. The on below is 46225 Duchess of Gloucester 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted July 29, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 29, 2014 Thanks. They were both built at Wolverton during 1950. I don't know if that helps? The scenes don't look so early to me. The lack of any discernable logo on the 3F is noticeable. Paul The shed plate on the Jinty looks like from when Sutton Oak was 8G, certainly not when it was in the 10s, so that would put it later than March 1958 I think.

Anthony_S Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 Scanned a few more this morning. The first from Liverpool Lime Street and I think the following three were taken at Crewe, though I may need to be corrected. 45721 Impregnable 45557 New Brunswick 45714 Revenge and finally 45740 Munster [url=https://flic.kr/p/ofGT2j] 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward66 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Interesting all the pictured Jubilees are Fowler tender ones. Love those fifties pictures, hope you have lots more. 45557 appears to have a strange extension to its chimney! Edward Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryD1471 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Congratulations on an excellent selection of photos. It is very gratifying to find a new source of pictures and, be assured, they will be of interest to many! Terry D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony_S Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) It's been a while since I added any new photo's. How quickly time passes! A few from Warrington Bank Quay this time. This is 45684 Jutland passing Warrington No. 2 signal box. 46108 and finally an unidentified train passing through platform 2/3.

Anthony_S Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 Haven't had time to post more pics recently due (over)work and life in general. At the rate I'm going, I'll have the last one uploaded just in time for their centenary! Not sure where this was taken, but it looks a lot like Crewe. 45572 Again, not sure where this was taken, but I'm guessing its the West Coast Mainline just to the East or South of Newton-Le-Willows Finally a couple of views from Manchester Victoria showing the signal box and a nice gantry of semaphores. 45601 'British Guiana' 45635 'Tobago' As always, if anyone can provide some insight into the locations and the trains they were hauling I would be interested to know. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMS2968 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I think the one of 5553 is at Red Bank on the Winwick Jct - Golborne Jct cut-off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony_S Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) Slow progress scanning and uploading these photos. Here are a few interesting ones from Warrington Bank Quay and a few from Manchester Vicoria. Dates and details as usual unknown, hopefully others who know more than me will be able to give some more insight than I can.

Anthony_S Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Took me a while to figure out what I did wrong, but the pictures should be full size now. Sorry about that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony_S Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Merry Christmas everyone! I have just scanned a few more pictures from Earlestown station, a short distance from the now demolished Vulcan foundry where many locomotives were built. I had a distant relative who was transferred to Earlestown works where he painted wagons. As someone who was used to painting coaches (I think at Newton Heath but not sure) he was not at all happy about painting far less glamorous wagons. It's almost like a Thomas the Tank engine story! 45645 taking the Liverpool direction just to the East of Earlestown station. Part of the signal box can be seen behind. There was once a further junction here for a line that passed through the centre of Earlestown towards a coal mine near Haydock. The track bed is now a car park, but the road bridge over the line is still evident by the post office in town. 73090 At Earlestown station on the curve heading towards Warrington which will also take it past the Vulcan foundry Heading in the other direction is 46239 about to take the route to Newton-Le-Willows 46241 The Royal Scot heading North in the curve platforms at Earlestown. I am guessing that this train has been diverted from the West Coast mainline which is a fairly common occurance here. Best wishes for a very enjoyable festive period.

Porcy Mane Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Gents' sorry to wake this thread up. (I've just found it) The two pics of 47366 were taken from the signal cabin opposite Earlestown carriage and wagon works. Hth P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
