BA14EAGLE'S photo scans
ba14eagle replied to ba14eagle's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
Last set for today. 37802 & 37796 arrive Cardiff Central with a special service. 06/06/99 Back to the mid 1980's. A pair of unidentified 37's run round at Westbury on a very damp evening. I was waiting for the return of the 16.18 Bristol to Weymouth, which must have been something quite exotic to get me out on a school night, in such rubbish weather. Exotic traction to Weymouth? An unidentified "dutch" 37 hammers out of Trowbridge. undated. Another unidentified 37. Westbury LIP, undated. 45104 rests at Bescot. undated An unidentified "peak" races through Dawlish Warren, with an up train. Undated, but, I suspect 1984 or 85. Bristol TM. This was early on a Saturday morning and from memory, the train was an overnight relief from Glasgow or Edinburgh. I don't know where the 45 (Id previously thought this was 46026 but it cannot be) had failed, but a 47 has come to the rescue. Undated. -

Last batch of class 33's for the time being and we are back to Cardiff / Portsmouth trains at Trowbridge. Some of these werent even 35mm photos, but captured on a 110 instamatic or even a disc camera! Unfortunately, all are unidentified and undated. This first shot is the earliest, pre-dating the wonton vandalism that was the demolition of the main station buildings. -

No DVT in the Euston shot - 3 x 90's definitely. -
Toto, we're not in Metcalfeshire any more!

Just been reading through this thread and I am totally green with envy. Your scratchbuilding skills are by far the best I've ever seen. Keep up the amazing work. -

Where the track was flexed and in the hottest of the sun, is where I had the most breakage. -

There was too much expansion and contraction John. Maybe, shorter pieces would have been more effective? -
So, is there any chance that O gauge items from the Heljan range could appear? - Or, perhaps I should rephrase that - how about some EFE Rail "Dogfish"? pretty please.
-
I hope it arrived in working order - unlike mine. Waiting to hear what is going to happen to it.

Phew! What cracking weather. There has been more work going on (planting, ballasting and soldering) than playing trains, just lately, so, before I start my next run of shifts and the weather turns, I had a little running session. All EE locomotives - my 3 x 37's and my 3 x 50's. Split into 2 films - one for each type.
