Pyewipe Jct Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Lovely pic I think its a Bedford O , looks BR but a lot of other businesse had similar liverys ,however I think there was a big BR goods yard off to the left of pic . Bet this view isn't half as interesting today ! Yes, there were several goods yards to the left of the shot (i.e., south of Brayford Pool) - ex-GNR, ex-GCR & ex-MR. All now gone, sadly, although the GCR goods & grain warehouse is still there, converted into a library for the university. The view now would capture nothing but bars, restaurants, & a huge cinema. The boats are still there, but all pleasure craft rather than working vessels... Cerainly is B R. The fleet number is in the Eastern Region layout. The model is The Bedford OSS (model O, short, Scammell coupling) Merf. Facinating picture. Thanks for that Merf, never did get to grips with identifying Bedfords...

Pyewipe Jct Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Worked in Lincoln in 1988 and this area was very interesting from industrial view if a bit derelict , took no pics sadly , looks very modern but sterile now. Sterile's a very apt word - industry has pretty much withered on the vine & been replaced by an almost obsessive focus on the university (& more importantly, its apparently cash-rich students) as seemingly the only source of prosperity for the city... Unfortunately, I took most of the railway infrastructure for granted 'back in the day', so didn't think to record it before it disappeared, although I did photograph the ex-GNR engine shed before it was absorbed by the university's first phase of construction (it's still there, but incorporated into a bar & concert venue).

Only the Western Region had any of these, as artics, vans and flats. But does'nt the trailer look small ! I'm not sure but I think it's an Austin, despite the WR usually buying Morris badged ones.

Not seen this one before but I did find the Oxford yard ones when I searched the Stilltime site. Merf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merfyn Jones Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I think it is a rail vehicle, possibly the cab of a crane as used for P way renewals, or possibly a tamper or ballast cleaner. Note the wording 'Engineers Dept.' Merf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted May 26, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 26, 2013 Do the links in my NRM photos post 1568 work ? They do not for me, they just take you to the sight. I clicked on the 'photographs' tab but there is no identification numbers on the photographs. On your postings there looks like a gap between 'Liverpool' and 'Street', when posting links there should be no gaps. On the pics I looked at there was something like %20 between Liverpool and Street? When I post links I always check in preview (click on 'More Reply Options') to make sure that they work before posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the unfortunate job of replacing a clutch on one of these for British Rail when TNT Truckcare had the maintenance contract for all assets. No one had ever done one... the transmission jack didnt adapt for such small gearboxes. Great fun road testing it when eventually finishing the job. So wished I had photos from back then.

Merfyn Jones Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) Something different from my workbench . I recently bought one each of the two Goods Yard Models lorries. Very pleased with them. A repaint has been done to their Austin K4 as a 1948 model from the Midland Region. No alterations have been done to the model. Forgot to say, these are 7mm scale. Look so much better than all those 50th scale models we see on layouts. Merf. Edited June 2, 2013 by Merfyn Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
