Michael Delamar Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 I think the atmosphere of this shot of Stockport tiviot dale at the end of steam is superb. http://www.flickr.com/photos/blue-diesels/8363452299/ 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Delamar Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 does anyone have any recollection or shots of class 31's on freight on this route in the steam era? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue47766 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Didn't see any 31's between Skelton Jct and Glazebrook East Jctn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Delamar Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Class 31's worked into Walton Liverpool on freight over the CLC in the early 60s from Sheffield so I was wondering if they took this route. another nice shot at Bredbury junction.

Michael Delamar Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 this is a superb shot of 8f 48356 at Woodley junction on the last day of Heaton mersey in 1968, one for the mineral wagon thread too. http://www.flickr.com/photos/71592768@N08/7925654652/ 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Delamar Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Im going to try and find out some more info on the Brush type 2's that would visit Walton CLC shed Liverpool in the early 1960s., the shed closed in 1963, they may have continued to work into Walton but I think we are looking at pre 63 moreso. they worked freights from Sheffield, the men would lodge overnight. I have a photo of one at Walton and have heard some recollections from people who saw them there. If they didnt come via this route, the only other I can think of is via Manchester Oxford road? and Im assuming they would work unaided via the Woodhead?

Michael Delamar Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 The more I think about it, I think they will have come via Caddishead, but would have gone via Cheadle heath and the Hope valley. could maybe have gone via Romiley I guess? my first thought was that they would have taken the LNER route via Woodhead? someone on a Liverpool railway yahoo has come up top trumps with sightings of no less than 35 different Sheffield Darnall 41a locos between 1961 and 1965 on this working, I expected a handful so this is an interesting surprise. "the Monday - Friday return was a 6E16 22.05 Walton Sidings to Sheffield E.S.S.. On Saturdays thistrain was booked to leave at 18.45hrs Here’s the full list of Brush Type 2 locomotives I actually saw on the line... D5680-8/90-2. D5810/15/24/6/30/2/6/41/3-5/47-52/56-61 Notes made by the late John Ward, who lived in a house that backed on tothe old CLC north of Gateacre station, are helpful. For Friday, 30th June1961 he wrote, “10.15 D5687 41A Out Freight.1st diesel on CLC.” Johnrecorded nothing of the class after Friday 11th June 1965, when D5684 wasseen heading light towards Walton at 21.15hrs. Perhaps significantly thenew WTT commenced on the following Monday, 14th June 1965 Timings shown are drawn from the 1962/63 WTTLocomotives used were based at Sheffield, Darnall (coded 41A), until itlost most of its Brush Type 2 allocation together with its shed code to thenewly- built Tinsley Diesel Depot on opening from Sunday 26th April1964. However,I did once record what I think was a Wath (41C) resident when D5832appeared on Monday 12th October 1964" Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Delamar Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 just had it confirmed that 6E16 was booked via the Hope valley...

Michael Delamar Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 just a heads up that John Whitehead will be exhibiting his 2mmfs model of Stockport Tiviot dale at the Liverpool model railway show, 27th-28th April.. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/66871-liverpool-april-27th-28th-2013/ Im looking forward to seeing how he has progressed with it.

Michael Delamar Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Ive had the pleasure of operating John Whitehead's excellent 2mm scale model of Stockport Tiviot dale at the Liverpool model railway show this weekend and will be doing so at Stockport in a fortnight. when I asked John if there was anything from a research point of view he would like, the main thing was colour shots of the station buildings, so if anyone knows of any im sure he would be delighted to see them.

Michael Delamar Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 they are great, John is still looking for colour shots of the actual station buildings, for reference of the brickwork when he comes to paint them. and also a shot of a diverted Midland pullman if anyone knows of any.

gismorail Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 D244 Woodley Junction 4.5.68 by George of Dufton, on Flickr Have to say some truly excellent shots of this much loved area of the network. So much atmosphere I can understand why Barry Norman produced a layout design based on Stockport Tiviot Dale in his book 'Designing a Layout' (page 90/91) The extra effort of going out side the shed to get the approaches right would be well worth the final scene. I was showing my eldest son the above photo of the class 40 at Woodley Junc as he's well into 'old school fords' and he was telling me that at current market prices the train of Mk1 escorts would be worth a fortune ( a real mint one can command a price of 20k ) Keep the shots coming really look forward to new shots. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold A Murphy Posted June 8, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 8, 2013 Re post 196: Michael Delamar colour shot of Stockport tiviot dale station building but captioned wrong The first six shots in this string, 177-01 - 177-06 are of Godley Junction. The next group, before you get to Tiviot Dale may be Heaton Mersey? This is another great collection, thanks very much for posting Michael (and Mrs Sutherland). best wishes, Alastair M Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
