An early morning 'glint' shot of a DMU climbing towards Pelaw from the Sunderland direction, circa 1979. The first two vehicles are in the refurbished livery, the others in plain blue. Trevor

Ghosts in the Machine.
Trev52A replied to TheSignalEngineer's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
Not sure if this is still there today, but this North British Railway cast iron(?) drinking tap surround was certainly a 'ghost in the machine' on the platform at Drem station (between Berwick and Edinburgh) in August 1977 Trevor -
That's disappointing - I thought we were all about to be proved wrong(!) Thanks for trying, though. Trevor

Hi Henry, any chance you could show us this picture from Hornby, please? All we have from them so far seems to be the picture posted last week by rembrow, which doesn't help the discussion as it appears to be taken of 70013 in preservation days. Thanks Trevor

Class 43 Photos HST 🇬🇧, XPT 🇦🇺 & HST 🇲🇽
Trev52A replied to GWRPhil's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
On the eastern approach to Newcastle, an Edinburgh to London Kings Cross HST powers through Heaton on 8th August 1980, three days before the station closed. Trevor -

Thanks, Northmoor. Here's another from the same era and area: an 8-car formation crossing the Ouseburn Viaduct near Heaton, Newcastle in June 1976, with preparatory work for the construction of the new Metro Viaduct proceeding in the foreground. I can't remember if this was a normal strength train on the coastal loop at busy times or if it was some sort of special working. Trevor

One from my 'oldies' file - seen from the top of the (in)famous Gateshead multi-storey carpark, a two-coach DMU calls at Gateshead (East) station with a train from Newcastle to South Shields in 1976. The train had just crossed the High Level Bridge (centre left) which still had three tracks on it at this time. A second DMU can be seen to the right of Newcastle Keep. Trevor

Here's a 1967 view of 65892 at Pelaw with what appears to be be a load of logs. And here's the actual 65817 at Low Fell in 1965 with the type of job most of us remember Trevor

The front numberplate looks like 65857 to me Trevor

60s Industrial Steam (i.e. non-BR)
Trev52A replied to Trev52A's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
Hi AB - thank you for the kind comment. The De La Rue Factory was actually off the edge of the picture to the left, in front of the viaduct. I was looking north and their factory was to the south of the viaduct on the opposite side of the road to where I was standing. Trevor -
Brake tender length of service and where to be mainly found
Trev52A replied to TravisM's topic in UK Prototype Questions
Cue my 'mystery photo' taken at Low Fell, Gateshead, which has been aired before. I have now tied down the date I took this to 2nd August 1967, but I did not make a note of the locos at the time and am hoping someone who also saw this unusual working can provide the details. The Brush Type 4 on the northbound Car Carrier/Motorail train has apparently expired and has been rescued by a BR Type 2, complete with brake tender which has now gained immortality by wearing Class 1 headlamps! Pity we don't know its identity also - yet(?) Thanks in advance! -
Deltic Class 55 Photos
Trev52A replied to PinzaC55's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
Ah, nice to see my picture taken of 'Ballymoss' at York on 3rd August 1981. Which makes me wonder, when people post other peoples pictures on Pinterest and such, why don't they include the original details such as location, date and photographer's name? (Just wondering, like) PS This question is not aimed at you, Ray Trevor -
On This Day In History
Trev52A replied to johnw1's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
Saturday 4th January 1969 was the penultimate day of the Waverley Route between Carlisle and Edinburgh and I travelled on a 'special' over the line from Newcastle pulled by 'Deltic' 9002, seen here during a photo stop at Riccarton Junction station. Hopefully tomorrow someone might post a picture from the last day, which included another special behind D9007. Trevor -
This is 47425 either passing through or pulling away from Newark North Gate on 1st August 1975 with an Aberdeen-Kings Cross train (1E11) Looks like a pair of Class 31 on the left but I didn't make a note at the time Trevor

Deltic Class 55 Photos
Trev52A replied to PinzaC55's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
55011 approaches King Edward Bridge Junction, Gateshead, with a northbound train on 27th December 1975. The steam in the background is from Norwood Coke works, which closed in the 1980s, became part of the National Garden Festival in 1990 and is now the site of new housing. Trevor- 525 replies

Peak Photos and Memories
Trev52A replied to johnw1's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
Thanks for pointing me in the direction of Rail Gen Archive - I now look forward to many hours wasted spent trawling through the listings and comparing with my observations! Obviously 1V92 was a forerunner to 1V93 which was a Deltic stronghold in 1981. I have updated my original post with the correct information. Cheers! Trevor
