EddieB Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Out of curiosity, from C1637 are both shunter and coach still in existence? Apparently the carriage is now at Embsay. See here: http://www.cs.vintagecarriagestrust.org/se/CarriageInfo.asp?Ref=828 and here: http://www.statelytrains.com/a-special-saloon.shtml D2381 was at Carnforth a couple of years ago - I don't know whether it's still there.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted April 19, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 19, 2015 Hi, Dave. Great photo's today. Love those of High Dyke and the ironstone lines. I think the saloon is now on the NYMR. The photo's of the ECML show a good selection of trains - especially the class 56's. All the best, Market65. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

avonside1563 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Hi Dave, just a quick correction to the caption on C1420, the left hand loco isn't an Avonside, it's Bagnall 2680/1942 Birchenwood No.3, now running as 'Courageous' at the Ribble Railway.

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted April 20, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 20, 2015 Good to see photos of pairs of 50s on the WCML; few books seem to include them. The two at Beattock in C1360 could be 429 & 417. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted April 20, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 20, 2015 Hi, Dave. A terrific set of photo's posted tonight. Particularly it is good to see the combination of a Midland Railway box and North Eastern design of crossing gates at Steeton and Silsden in J410. Then in photo' J906, there is also a class 108 DMU as well as the class 101 at Gargrave in May, 1967, and it is good to see the rear car of the 108 in BR Rail Blue at this date. All the best, Market65. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swindon 123 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Some Midland photos tonight, heading north from Keighley at various dates. i Gargrave Class 101 Leeds to Skipton May 67 J906.jpg Gargrave Class 101 Leeds to Skipton May 67 J906 David Not only is the rear 108 MBS in blue as mentioned by Market65 above but the double arrow appears to be on the drivers door, which usually indicated at that time that it had a small yellow warning panel on the front. There are quite a few photos of 108's in use around that area and on the S & C in that livery around 1967/8. Paul J. Edited to clarify post as I'd missed something out.

jwealleans Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Fourth van back in J1461 is a French ferry van of the kind now held in the NRM. What interests me is that it's still in PLM red, thirty years after the SNCF was formed. They must have had a hell of a lot of paint to use up. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted April 21, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hi, Dave. You have indeed been so lucky to have seen the Roadrailers. A truly remarkable photo', and thank you for posting it. In the last photo', C1690, at Grantham,on 27th July,1974, is a great view of a class 40 running at speed through the station. Overall a tremendous set of ECML photo's. All the best, Market65. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny777 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) 4N22 was the Saturdays Only 1155 Temple Meads to Tees Yard. It is shown as 5N22 in the 1968/69 WTT, but the ER in those days had a habit of changing the first headcode classification depending on the make up of the train. Edited: to add that the driver was probably very pleased on that day, because the train was normally booked to run on the slow line from Werrington Junction to Stoke but has been left on the fast line on this occasion. Edited even further to say that in a fit of over confidence I would say that the photo was taken on 14th Sept 1968. It certainly was not either the 21st or 28th, as they were cloudy, wet and windy. There is a possibility it could be the 7th, but the high clouds in the distance look a little unstable in character which fits with the weather pattern for the 14th. I'm on a roll now. 1A40 was the 1500 Kings Cross to Newcastle. The sky does look meteorologically similar to the 4N22 photo, and I would guess this photo was taken on the same day but about 35 minutes later.

The date you suggest could well be right too. I know I was there as I took a photo of the 47 at Corby Glen, it so it was just before I went to Manchester.

jonny777 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Hello David, The intriguing thing is, do you have any more photos from that day? The reason that 4N22 was normally switched to the slow line was to allow 1A38, the 1420 Kings Cross to York, to overtake. Maybe 4N22 was running late and had been overtaken at Peterborough? However, if this was the case and your father knew the timetable, it would be a bit of a risk to move even the short distance to Corby Glen and maybe miss 1A27, the 1300 Newcastle to Kings Cross in the opposite direction; which was due in the up direction between 1A38 and 1A40.
