    May 3rd 1986 25 266 & 25 278 at Blea Moor with (according to my notes at the time) a diverted Birmingham/Peterborough to Carlisle parcels during a WCML weekend shutdown.

    Excepting that to my eyes the overhead warning flash appears to be on the opposite side of the steps up to the water filler point. It could have been moved I suppose!

    Doh! So you did. Missed it.

    It did. Track retained so that RhB could get at their strategic reserve stored in the tunnel under the hillside.

    Enjoyed listening to my old Horslips LP yesterday, so I'm going to do it again today!!!

    Spent the morning listening to Horslip's "Drive the cold winter away" - Brilliant! I'd forgotten just how much I enjoyed it.

    Just stumbled upon this Facebook group: Inverness Motive Power Depot (https://www.facebook.com/groups/396202670456634/?ref=gysj) - you may already be aware of it. Some interesting pics on there.

    There was a thread a few years back (Sep 2013) which might be of interest to you. Can't remember how to post a link to a topic! Search for "NSE coaches outside of NSE area". I've remembered! http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/76641-nse-coaches-outside-of-nse-area/?p=1171622

    The OS One-inch, Seventh Series, 1952-1961 map shows sidings in that complex. See one of my favourite old map sites: http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=14&lat=54.9706&lon=-1.7245&layers=11&b=1 Although on further inspection I may have got the wrong complex. I was looking east of the station not west. Ooops! This link (I think) shows the right location. http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=18&lat=54.9667&lon=-1.7150&layers=168&b=1

    Well I must confess to reading the original as troughs with diesel fuel to be picked up not pickup enabled diesels! I had visions of some rather oily looking trackside workers and equipment and a whole new meaning to trackside fires.

    Extremely ropey scan of a contact print of a photo taken on a box Brownie early 1960s. It's at Bingley near the 3 rise locks, probably a Morecambe to Leeds or Bradford train. Note the old Midland warehouse/grain depot on the left. It still stands and now visible on it is the wording proclaiming its Midland Railway origins. Let's stick with the same theme.

    Steam Days June 2017 has an article on the Swindon to Highworth branch including 2 or 3 photos of Stratton station area and coal yard.

    Has just seen an A4 and a Merchant Navy roll by across the valley.

      12" to the foot scale, but yes I suppose they were expensive.

    Posted links to some of these before, but they don't work anymore. 27050 at Kyle of Localsh, September 11th 1984.

    Off the top of my head how about Hurricane, Thunderer and, at a pinch, Glorious?
  17. 60021 Pen-y-Ghent
    Those were the days! 27003 and 27004 in Oban when the original station still stood, July 1979. Now how about the West Wales coast? Train or infrastructure, old or new, used or unused, I don't care.

    I've done a bit of googling and I think that the second clip to which I refered was of the Great Central Raikway crossing over Swithland reservoir. Very bizzare!!

    Hope this is in the right place - can't find anywhere better to put it. I've just been watching episode 2 of Robert Redford's The West on the History channel. Among other things this dealt with the construction of the Union Pacific railroad and the golden spike at Promontory Point. Among the bits of docudrama the usual dosage of archive pictures was rolled out, including one that looked incredibly like a view from near the southern portal of Blea Moor tunnel showing the signal box and siding with Ingleborough in the distance. Then at the end of the programme an Ivatt 2-6-0 and maroon coaches appeared running over a small viaduct, but I couldn't recognize the location. Very strange bit of film editing!

    Yes, but I was really thinking about the ones dolled up as space rockets etc during the illuminations time in October!
  21. 60021 Pen-y-Ghent
    Seems to have been a bit of an obscure request - sorry! Time for a wildcard then.
  22. 60021 Pen-y-Ghent
    Don't know if this is good or not! It's the only one I have. Let's stick with the tram theme and have a Blackpool illuminations decorated tram please.

    This one? Scarborough Spa Express pulling into Leeds, 26th August 2009. Next, some Sulzer type 2 power on the Highland main line.

    May 3rd 1986, 25 266 and 25 278 at Blea Moor during a WCML diversion weekend. Let's stick with the S&C theme and have a Royal Scot during BR days (pre-preservation) please.
  25. 60021 Pen-y-Ghent
    Lille March 31st 2017 Next: how about a pre-preservation Royal Scot on Ribblehead viaduct Beaten to it!
