    I have this photo of 3406 recorded as taken at Radyr Station on 22 August 1963 in my catalogue. Can anyone confirm this location. Again, taken from the train while I was on my way from Cardiff to Abercynon.

    The photo was taken on 22 August 1963 while on a all line railrover

    Spot on Mike. Found this on Flickr which matches the houses in the background.. https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3879/15165595735_8b92bd20bc_b.jpg Thanks.

    A couple more here taken on 22 August 1963, I think at the same location. It was a grotty dull day, not ideal weather for an Ilford Sportsman with no light meter! Not a lot here to identify the station which I think is South Wales. The next photos on the film roll are at Cardiff east Dock shed The first is Large Prairie 5101 class 4174 which was shedded at Pontypool Road. The second is an unidentified 2800 class.

    This was the next one I was going to put up as an unknown location. However. thanks to Google images, I have identified it as Quaker Yard Low Level station. Here we have pannier tank 9668 approaching the station on a freight (trip working C13?). Aberfan tips can be seen in the distance.

    Anyone know which station this is? At or between Carmarthen/Whitland and Haverfordwest?

    Thanks Ian. I will do a new thread once I have finished scanning in more negatives and entered the data into my electronic catalogue. I have a couple of thousand more negatives to process, most which have never been printed, they have just been in folders for the past 50 years.

    Thanks for the info guys.. I catalogued my photos when I got back from my railrover over 50 years ago from my notebook which was not as accurate as I thought. After comparing my photos with images on the internet i think this photo is cataloged incorrectly. I have it down as 7804 Baydon Manor at Whitland shed but I think it is the yard at Carmarthen. Can anyone confirm this?

    I took this shot of a Hall passing through a station on a freight while on a railrover in South Wales dated 23/8/1963. Taken from the train and going by the negatives before and after, I was travelling between Whitland and Neyland. Anyone recognise the station? I wonder where the beer was goiing...

    A friend of mine from Carlisle, David Goodfellow, took this at noon today at Kingmoor.

    Still unnamed, BR/English Electric Class 55 Deltic No. D9019 at the platform of Newcastle Central Station, on a down express 1A22 on Sunday 18th April 1965. It was named 'Royal Highland Fusilier' five months later on 9th September 1965. It was later renumbered to 55019 under the TOPS scheme.

    Definitely in the cutting at Brisco. I have some photos which show the same trees in the background

    Although now based in the power box at the south end of the station, they still leave the microphone on these days as well!
