Good evening, everyone. Firstly, many thanks, Mick, for posting that superb photo’ of D20, 62396, at Bridlington, in 1957. This evening, with thanks to knoxrj, and John Turner, on Flickr, we have another four photo’s to enjoy. The first one is of class K1, 62005, at Filey Holiday Camp station, on the 6th March, 1965. It was there as part of The Whitby Moors Railtour special. Next we have a photo’ of class B1, 61216, at Scarborough, in about the mid Fifties.

Good evening, David. That’s a fantastic set of photo’s of Deltic’s at Swayfield, on the ECML. The first photo’ of Class 55, possibly 9001, on the 12.00 Edinburgh to Kings Cross, in September, 1971, is superb, and I can hear the Deltic as it passes by. The black and white photo’s of Cambridge in 1947 and 1948, are a splendid and historical selection. JVol1211, of a class J39, on a down goods train, in 1948, is a beautifully composed photo’ from track level, which makes the engine look most impressive. With warmest regards, Rob.

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, thank you, Mick, for that most interesting photo’ of Harold. It is fascinating that it possibly was used in the construction of the Joint Dock, in Hull. This evening, courtesy of John Law, Andy Hughes, and knoxrj, all on Flickr, we can enjoy four more photo’s. The first one is a view of ex-H&BR, 0-8-0, 2510, on Springhead shed, in c1925.

Finally, we have a photo’ of 37521 `English China Clay', as it passes the back of HMP Hull, and approaches Southcoates Lane at the head of train, 6D54, Hull Docks to Doncaster Belmont, on the 14th June, 2004. Best regards, Rob.

Good evening, David. That’s a great selection of photo’s of the Talyllyn Railway at Abergynolwyn and Tywyn Wharf, and the Vale of Rheidol at Aberystwyth, in 1969, and 1979 respectively. C067, at Tywyn Wharf, with No3 Sir Haydn, in August, 1969, is a superb portrait shot of the locomotive. The photo’s of the ECML north of Newcastle are an excellent set. C5259, at Chevington, with a Class 254 HST, on a down express, on the 3rd January, 1981, is an excellent ‘train in the landscape’ shot. With warmest regards, Rob.

Good evening, everyone. This cold evening, we have another four photo’s to enjoy. They are courtesy of blandford1969, John Turner, John Law, and Richard Stewart, all on Flickr. The first photo’ is a portrait of H&BR, 231, according to the caption, rebuilt as 2511 with an NER style boiler. At Springhead shed, Hull. No date for it’s photo’. The second photo’ shows Sculcoates Goods Yard, with Ivatt 4MT 2-6-0, 43069, which made the journey to North East Hull from the Midland Railway depot at Manningham (55F) in Bradford. The 1950 Doncaster built (to LMS design) "Mogul" is believed to have met it's end by 12th December, 1966, and is seen earlier that month. Next we have a photo’ of H&BR 0-6-0, 2520, at Springhead shed, possibly in the late 1920’s. Finally, here’s a photo’ of 37425 "Concrete Bob", as it passes Hutton Cranswick on train, 3J51, York Thrall to York Thrall via East Yorkshire, RHTT, with 37407 on the rear, on the 15th November, 2023. Best regards, Rob.

Good evening, David. That’s an excellent mixed bag of photo’s, with three photo’s around Hindlow and two others. The last photo’ at Kingsbury, on the MR Derby to Birmingham line, of the bridge over the A423, in May, 1971, being a superb shot of the bridge clearly illustrating its design. The photo’s at Winning and Freeman's crossing on the Blyth and Tyne line to Cambois and North Blyth, are a splendid set. C6459, at Freemans crossing, with 37217, on an old ballast train working, in March, 1984, being a particularly excellent composition which also shows the state the 37 is in. It will make a superb weathering project for one of the new 4mm scale models. With warmest regards, Rob.

Good evening, everyone. This evening, we have four more photo’s to enjoy, courtesy of John Turner, Richard Stewart, knoxrj, and John Law, all on Flickr. The first photo’ is a view of H&BRlwy, 2-4-0, 36, at Cannon Street station, Hull, so this will be a very early photo’. No other details are given. Next, we have a photo’, taken from a passing train, of Thompson B16/3 (rebuild of Raven B16/1) 4-6-0’s 61444 & 61463 in store at Dairycoates, Hull, in c1964.

Best regards, Rob.

Good evening, David. That’s a fantastic and most atmospheric set of photo’s of Switzerland, on the 5th August, 1978, looking at the Blonay Chamby line which is preserved, also with photo’s of the CEV to Chemin der Fer electriques Veveysans, all taken at Blonay. The first photo’ of Blonay Chamby ex-Brunig & ex BAM Ed3.3, 6, is a truly superb photograph, of both the train and the mountain in the background. The three photo’s on the Midland line from Nottingham to Lincoln, with two others from the Midland, are an excellent selection. The first photo’ at Burton Joyce, with a Class 120, on a Lincoln to Crewe - despite that indicator blind reading Derby - service, on the 8th August, 1977, is an excellent three quarter shot of the unit in what must have been dull weather since the interior saloon lights are clearly visible. With warmest regards, Rob.

Good evening, everyone. This evening, we have four photo’s to see thanks to Richard Stewart, John Law, John Turner, and JSB303, all on Flickr.

The churned up land on the left, previously mudflats, probably afforded access to the site for plant machinery. The photo’ is from c1966.

Such a classic composition. The photo’s of Nottingham Midland station from the 1970’s are excellent and full of atmosphere. J2102, of Class 45, D67, on a down coal train, and Class 45, D54, on a Nottingham to Manchester service, in May, 1970, is a superb composition by your Dad. All so different today. With warmest regards, Rob.

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, I have no idea how I got the caption wrong about the first photo’ yesterday. I can only apologise. Well, this evening, we have four photo’s to enjoy thanks to John Law, and Andy Hughes, on Flickr. The first photo’ is at Springhead shed, and is of two 0-6-0’s, 2444 x 2457. The date is not known but possibly the 1930’s. The second one is a view of O4, 6617, again on Springhead shed, in the 1930’s. Next here’s a photo’ of 0-6-2T, 9116, and you are quite right, it’s on Springhead shed again, this time in 1948. Finally, this is a photo’ of 37667 `Meldon Quarry Centenary’, standing at Cottingham, with it's loaded spoil train prior to working train, 8T60, to Doncaster, on the 18th March, 2001.

The first photo’ at Bridgnorth, with LMS Ivatt Class 2MT, 46521, on a passenger train from Bridgnorth to Bewdley, in October, 1976, is a superb composition of what later on, in the mid 1990’s, was the star in Oh Doctor Beeching! The photo’s from North Wales, between Llangollen Junction and Blaenau Ffestiniog, with one of the Menai Bridge, are a splendid selection. C5796, of Roman Bridge station, in July, 1982, is a truly beautiful photo’, showing the outstanding setting that the station was in. With warmest regards, Rob.

Good evening, everyone. This evening, thanks to John Law, knoxrj, Philip Wheldale, all on Flickr, we have four more photo’s to enjoy. The first one is a view of H&BR, 0-6-0, number 37, on Springhead shed. This is undated. The second photo’ is at South Cave station, on the H&BR, with an unidentified 0-6-0, which appears to be number 118, if I have read the number on the bufferbeam correctly. Again, no date is given. Third, we have a photo’ of D49/3, 335, Bedfordshire, with oscillating cam operated Lentz poppet valves, rather than the rotary cam valves of the /2 Hunts.

The first photo’ near Rannoch viaduct, with 37259 and 37121, on the Newcastle to Fort William special train, on the 11th May, 1985, being a superb view, from the train, of the Scottish scenery. The black and white photo’s from the 1950’s at Nottingham Victoria, are a superb set. Each one is a gem. The first photo’ of K2, 61777, with a parcels van, in August, 1954, is a most excellent portrait shot the locomotive. The last photo’ of V2, 60831, running light engine, and B1, and you, in c1954, is a beautiful composition, and I see you have a publication of something in your hand. I wonder what it was. With warmest regards, Rob.

C4850, at Sittingbourne, with Bagnall, Triumph, in October, 1979, is a superb photo’ of the engine. The photo’s of Pilmoor, in 1967 and 1975, are a fascinating set. J4542, of a two car Class 101, on a Darlington to York service, in August, 1975, is an excellent photo’ of an ordinary train. The two photo’s of the same train, by yourself and your Dad, a down express passenger train, again in August, 1975, are both superb. However, I think yours has more definition and colour than your Dad’s. The trees have more clarity. With warmest regards, Rob.

The photo’s from Cumbria, at Dalston, Sellafield and Troutbeck, are fascinating.

That’s a fascinating mixed bag of photo’s. The last one at Southam Road and Harbury GWR, with a Class 25, on an up freight train, in April, 1971, is an excellent photo’, and just look at the state of the yellow cab end. It will make an most interesting weathering project on a model. With warmest regards, Rob.
