Cheers Dave that's my reference too. Apologies for using wrong terminology - they were slotted post signals not somersault Phil
-
Exposure to formaldehyde can work wonders! Phil
-
Wasn't there a nasty prang at Abbots Ripon - IIRC somersault signals got frozen in their posts in a blizzard? Phil
-
Interesting signals on C2194 Are the 3 arms on that bracket Up slow Up slow to up fast Up fast If so wouldn't it have been more normal practice to split the 2 x up slow and up fast arms on to separate brackets/posts? Cheers Phil

Perhaps we should arrange a trip over to Moreton on Lugg with Brian from Howes to get the sound file right? Phil
-
Thanks Johnny - that's definitely an improvement! Is there anything else that can be done as part of the scanning process to make them better? Phil

That's great Neil Heres a couple of mine - as I didn't get a decent camera until August 1976 its just the end of the Westerns am afraid... Managed to avoid protruding lights but rather underexposed... was my first film Same day - protruding light and underexposed!!! Will edit to get accurate date when I get my hands on my records book again but its about 23rd August 1976. Phil

Ah sorry misread your week as month! Hydraulic hallucinations.... Plymouth never seemed to be an easy place to get photos for me - too much clutter, those lamps were always in th e wrong position! Cheers Phil
-
Nice ones Jonny! Had forgotten how bad those locos had been allowed to get externally - but I bet 1015 still gave you a good run back to Reading And if that was a month after 9th October must have been last knockings for Invader - withdrawn 10/11/76, 1376000 miles on the clock. Only 1005 and 1041 beat that total. Phil

No worries John - it looks great any way!!!! Phil
-
Oh ! Who photoshopped out the terraced houses, hop warehouses and floodlights for St Georges Lane footy ground in the distance? Hee hee Guess they just didn't fit with the Malverns background any way Phil

Brilliant Dave More 16 tonner weathering inspiration in J843 Phil
-
Heavy rain at Devil's Bridge? Surely not Dave!!! Phil
-
Looking at the 47299 gallery on the Class 47 site she certainly got around more in RFD days - plenty of earlier Humberside oil traffic there and also Aberthaw. Don't know how she avoided me..... Phil
-
Thanks Johnny 47s were pretty ubiquitous but being confined to one location would fit with why I never saw her Phil
-
Ah - she must always have been at the other end of the circuit when I visited Immingham or Nottingham then! Phil
-
Know what you mean Kevin - I never did manage to cop the fated D1866/47216/47299 - it was the only 47 I never saw with the exception of the two early scrappers. Perhaps I should have consulted a medium ? Phil
-
Remember my first Trains Illustrated annual - must have been about 1966 - every picture of an east coast Class 40 was either D252 or D272. Funny how locos haunted us isn't it? Phil
-
That's a very interesting look at railway operations Phil - thanks for sharing P
-
Hmmm - not from that part of the world - but was it Tyne Commission Quay Dave? Phil
-
Knowing where the train is might help - do you have that info? Cheers Phil
-
No luck with photos - not a flutterby to be seen! great day out on the railway though Phil
-
Ah - always wondered about this working, that accounts for it! http://www.miac.org.uk/worcs1965.html, scroll down to 3rd June 1966. Many thanks Phil

Nice shot Robert! 842 will be rapidly morphing in to this livery as D847 when it arrives Work to do? Nameplate logo and numbers off, loose those headcode vents, OHLE flashes on nose moved up.... And there are no drivers name card holders on any of the Bacchy versions - some etched brass 1/32 .5 calibre ammo belt clips are a good representation if we can find any..... Renumber, logo, flashes and nameplates... varnish and light weathering, hope that nice new windscreen comes out easily. Phil -
Ah - the perils of butterfly ID! Thanks for putting me straight Chaz. Am off to the Severn Valley tomorrow - last time I went there were a lot of fritillaries on the buddlia outside the engine house, will try for photos if there again Phil
