Modelling notes; don't worry if your platform signage doesn't hang straight and true. or if your etched footbridge railings are a bit bent!

RMweb Gold 4630 Posted March 5, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) Please let me go right, just for a change! Spoil sport. You always send me left. On 5th March 2022 Northern Trains 195105, working 1B22 Blackpool North to York, correctly takes the 'Down Leeds' line at Micklefield Junction. In case anyone thinks that I'm on the wrong side of the railway boundary, the photos were taken from the footpath that leads from the York/Hull platform (which is not the platform in the second photo) to the adjacent car park. This Google Maps image shows the position; Micklefield railway station Edited April 4, 2022 by 4630 re-upload photos 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben B Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 W&M Railbus on the KWVR last weekend; we were actually using it as public transport, changing onto a 333 EMU at Keighley to continue on to Bradford 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 4630 Posted March 6, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) Away from its usual route on 5th March 2022 due to engineering work - the ECML was closed between Doncaster and south of York at Colton Junction, LNER Azuma 800108 speeds through Micklefield east of Leeds with 1S12, London Kings Cross to Edinburgh.

eastwestdivide Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) Two views of the same train, one zoomed and one wide, from the towpath at Rotherham Parkgate. A 158 on an Adwick-Sheffield service. 1) the big steel overbridge at Aldwarke Junction is in the centre distance, and the limit of the tram-train electrification is on the left: 2) there's a trolley but there's no catering on board. On the left, a tram-train is waiting for it to pass before heading back to Sheffield Cathedral: Edited March 8, 2022 by eastwestdivide re-cropped photo 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Kazmierczak Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Rather a hackneyed shot, but there you go. Today's 0710 Penzance - Padd, formed of 800003 + 802006, passes near the Somerset/Wiltshire border. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Northmoor Posted March 18, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 18, 2022 Hackneyed? I wouldn't say so, not enough photographers take those few steps back, so instead, take hundreds of versions of this: 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kazmierczak Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 No, I wasn't taken by surprise. I deliberately got INTO the car to take this shot... 800315 on today's 0937 Padd - Paignton. 6 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Davexoc Posted March 18, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) I think the graffiti on the bridge sums up the unit crossing it, even if it started out basically as an EMU rather than DMU....

RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted March 20, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 20, 2022 Dangerously close to the Three-Quarter view, but quite a variety of DMU's in Sheffield today. 150, 2x158, 170, 195 & 222. There was also a pair of 156's in the platform to my left ! Cheers, Phil. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Northmoor Posted April 3, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 3, 2022 Considering that the seawall at Dawlish is just about the most photographed location on the UK rail network, well done for finding that first shot @Ramblin Rich. I'm not sure I've ever seen a shot through any of the tunnels before. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! 😀I've seen one in a book, possibly by Colin Marden, zoomed in more with a class 50 in a similar position and a track worker standing alongside. It inspired me to try this. These were off a phone camera, having tried it I'd like to go back with a proper zoom lens another time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
