Guest B Exam Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 C4338 is the coffee and cream SYPTE class 114 DMU by the looks of it. Mike. That wasn't painted until 1983. The photo is dated 1979. To my eyes its in the refurbished all over white with blue stripe livery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 1, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 1, 2015 Hi, Dave. Lovely photo's this evening from Beighton and Dore. The first one, C4337 of class 37, 37201 at Beighton in January, 1979, is a classic. A great shot of the 37. The class 114 DMU in question in C4338, is in the refurbished white with a blue waist-band. I enlarged the photo', and it is much easier to see the livery. All the best, Market65. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the original scan it is clearly in the refurbished livery, also my notes made on the day say refurbished livery. I thought I had a photo of the one in the SYPTE livery, but not according to my notes . I know I saw it but for some reason didn't photograph it.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 3, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hi, Dave. Excellent photo's of the ECML at Swayfield. Photo' C363 has what would seem to be a Gresley Buffet as the fifth vehicle. Then in photo' C368 there would appear to be a possible Thompson contender in the fifth vehicle in the formation. All the best, Market65. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark54 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 1A11 is the 09:00 Hull-KX (with an extra TSO on the front it should be the FSO train. 4th coach should be LFK E14900) The class 40 is on 2N45 the down Highwayman Finsbury Park-Newcastle (normally with a Thomson RB) The 47 on an up train is the 09:20 Leeds-KX (with Bradford & Halifax portions at the rear, out of sight) 1N18 is the 15:00 KX-Newcastle 1N10 is the 11:00 KX-Newcastle (which would normally have been Deltic-hauled) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted June 3, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 3, 2015 g Lune Gorge Virgin Class 220 down ex pass 19th July 03 C26295.jpg Lune Gorge Virgin Class 220 down ex pass 19th July 03 C26295 Just catching up with the thread. C26295 is a Class 221 as it's a five-car set. (There were originally 34 four car 220's, four 4-car 221's with 40 5-car 221 sets as the original build. One of the four car 221's was split to make two others into 5 sets) As for quality of picture - keep 'em coming, even if they are battered slides. The quality is in the content displayed.

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted June 4, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) A few photos taken in Leeds at various times for this evening. Sometimes when visiting somewhere you simply have to put up with dreadful light and try to come home with some sort of photo. This was much harder in film days when you couldn't see the results until the film was processed. Some of these photos were taken on days like that. Leeds Central LMS 4MT 43130 ecs Nov 66 J697 The next three photos were taken on a trip from Manchester to York, to see the (old) railway museum on a bitterly cold, icy and foggy day in November 1971. For some reason I had to change trains in Leeds and so tried to take a few photos. Leeds Class 101 Liverpool Lime St to Hull Nov 71 C739 Leeds Class 47 D1961 up Thames Clyde Nov 71 C761 Leeds Class 101 Nov 71 C763 Leeds 141119 Leeds to Marsden 3rd March 90 C14091 David Edited June 4, 2015 by DaveF 34 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 4, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 4, 2015 Hi, Dave. Love the photo's of Leeds. The first one, J697, with 4MT 43130, is a good example of the everyday steam railway as in the final days of steam. In photo' C739, I think that the class 101 unit will be a replacement for a failed class 124 DMC (Trans-Pennine). This happened every so often, for I remember seeing a class 104 DMCL standing in for a class 124 DMC as the unit left Hull for Liverpool in the late '60's. All the best, Market65.
