J2857 would have been taken about 50 yards from Frampton crossing.
-
This photo was taken at Frampton Mansell probably, not far from Chalford, looking west, with the viaduct just out of sight on the curve. Was a photo of the viaduct taken the same day? The twisting lane on the left and lack of houses on the far hill rule out Chalford itself, I think.
-
J3264 - More likely 1969 from studying the number. C7431 - Definitely 37033. According to http://www.class37info.co.uk/history.aspx, 1Z43 12.30 Edinburgh - Dundee footex and return. .
-
J5100 - Both are blurry but to me the number and nameplate lettering don't shout out 55003 Meld. J5101 - Leading car is E50022. Does this mean trailer is E56022?
-
The loco is a class 40. Best wishes.
-
The last two digits of the loco number appear to be 70, which narrows it down to a couple of candidates of which D6870 is the most likely as it was transferred to Healey Mills at the end of 1966, according to http://www.class37info.co.uk. The eighth vehicle in train is a brake van, I think.
-
J3111 might even be Alycidon or Crepello. There are white smudges near the doors at both ends which show it has not been renumbered.
-
This might be hard to believe but the Deltic in J3111 has a number at both ends.
-
Meld, Pinza, Tulyar and Nimbus all had short nameplates of the same length.
-
1624 had a different boiler from 1524 as built according to http://www.class47.co.uk and the boiler experts might have something to say!
-
To my eyes, J3263 is 1524 or 1624 (second digit is the least clear) and J3266 is 5399 (the experts on air brakes might have something to say).
-
55019, I think.
-
D117 probably.
-
One of one then: D9003.
-
One of four with same-sized small nameplate: D9003 MELD, D9007 PINZA, D9015 TULYAR, D9020 NIMBUS What they were up to in 1963: http://www.napier-chronicles.co.uk/3-63.htm http://www.napier-chronicles.co.uk/7-63.htm http://www.napier-chronicles.co.uk/15-63.htm http://www.napier-chronicles.co.uk/20-63.htm If a Saturday, it would have been the 6th, 13th, 20th or 27th. D9007 looks too clean on the 27th: http://www.napier-chronicles.co.uk/7_27-4-63.htm
-
Is there some sort of grab handle quite high up on the left-hand side? It resembles the mirror image of a question mark.
-
Based on nameplate length I'd say candidates are D9000 or D9013. D9004 nameplate too long and same for D9016, I think. There is something between the louvres above the nameplate that is consistent with a round badge, therefore I'll opt for D9000: http://www.napier-chronicles.co.uk/0272.htm
-
Possibly 1949. Third digit definitely 4. Second and fourth look very similar.
-
I think one say to the nearest second how much earlier J4123 is than C1836 - one second! Deltics in order of first appearance: Queen's Own Highlander Argyll and Sutherland Highlander Royal Highland Fusilier Very apt for the snowy weather and either an inspired choice or a random fluke but to take our minds off the cold I would have preferred Bahamas.
-
Are these new photos? All can be identified. J4123 was taken earlier than C1836!
-
Until today I'd assumed "Pinza" would be larger but overlaying photos found on Flickr it appears to be the same size as "Meld".
-
A Spot-the-Deltic coin toss?
-
Class 87?
-
Size of warning panel means chance of a correct ID is better than 1 in 10.
-
47100.
