RMweb Premium Popular Post Andy Kirkham Posted August 16, 2022 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2022 One of my own taken in 1995. I like it becasue there is nothing in it (apart from being in colour) to tell you it isn't, say, 1928. I like to imagine I'm H.C.Casserley exploring some rural byway in Ireland. 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote After running round its train, 47727 propelled its stock into the loop. The FR train duly arrived and apparently was one coach length too many for the points mechanism! 'Management' decided that the de-railed FR coach was not fouling the tour stock (only just though!) "Management" wasn't impressed and told the Little Engine if he didn't behave, he would be sent to Woodham’s Scrapyard! 😢 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post Andy Kirkham Posted August 18, 2022 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2022 Only indirectly about railways, but I thought these would be of interest. They were taken an Pen-yr-Orsedd slate quarry in 1991 and show the system of aerial ropeways (by then disused) known as "Blondins". 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithMacdonald Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Another 1000-piece jigsaw picture? With thanks to Warwick Falconer. Quote Steam in the Metropolis - Any commuter who was waiting for a train at Vauxhall on Thursday 20 December 2007 probably remembers the experience... Bulleid Pacfic 34067 obliterating most of the South Bank as she gets away from Waterloo with a Cathedrals Express to Sherborne. With thanks to Ed Hurst for having a word with the crew, which they really took to heart! 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithMacdonald Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 The same event, two or three seconds later, from a different angle, but an even better title from Ian Docwra. Quote Leaving The Low Emissions Zone The Bulleid light pacifics in their original form were known for their volcanic exhaust displays. This is 'Battle of Britain' class 34067 'Tangmere' working a "Steam Dreams' train away from Waterloo towards the photographers at Vauxhall. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium keefer Posted August 19, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) i was wondering about the topography of the area and was pleased to find a LiDAR map - seems to be a scan of the terrain. Shows the colliery area to be pretty much a plateau and the line in the photo goes from there to 'ground' level in a shallow cutting. Amazingly the LiDAR map also shows the extent of the bings/tips at the end of the two eastern 'sidings'. OS map with LiDAR layer (use blue dot slider, bottom LH corner) As an aside, a really useful feature rather than trying to decipher contours etc. on an OS 'Landranger'-type map Edited August 19, 2022 by keefer 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they came from the Radstock Wagon Works.

Nearholmer Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 If that’s 1991, the Shell advert is weirdly retro, or do they not post new bills very often in Gwent? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearholmer Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) Shell trying convince people they were living in the golden age of motoring, I guess.
