Boris Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Boundary marker from the old L&NWR Sefton Park Station. Snapped today (02/02/12) That's quite nice, there was a cast iron strip at Darlington until fairly recently showing something similar but of an NER origin, until it was ripped out for a re-tarmac job, thankfully recovered from a skip and donated to a local museum. I keep meaning to take my camera into Bog Hall sidings next time I am in Whitby, some quite interesting stuff in there, loads of detection arms and other signalling bits, more interestingly is what looks to be a section of straight rail, but on slide chairs (the points long since gone), which I think are part of the old junction to West Cliff. Also a couple of things I haven't a clue about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southernman46 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 During my stint as tME at Woking (2009-10), we discovered a GWR ATC ramp lying in the cess near Bramley - which I hope we managed to transport to the GW society at Didcot (arrangements were made).............. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ess1uk Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 As if by magic - the Blue Pullman poster from Euston Edit - still appears to be a problem uploading pics, I'll add it when the problem is sorted. I also have some 1920-30's posters I discovered recently! Stewart did you manage to upload it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ess1uk Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 There were a few if I recall. Shame there couldn't be a proper effort to photograph this area before the building work started Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bon Accord Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Inverurie and Insch stations both have their fixed (i.e. large) weighing scales intact on the the platforms, with the mechanism houses in locked wooden enclosures - these are circa 130 years old, i.e. from GNSR days. Will grab a snap next time I'm down the station. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted April 30, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 30, 2012 how about this, i think it had an advertising hoarding over the top which has recently been removed revealing this..... the original wooden gwr sign on one side...... and an enamel sign on the other...... dunno what the plan is for it though, hopefully it will stay on display 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted April 30, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 30, 2012 Hi Jim I suppose beneath the BR(W) enamel sign could be the other side of the GWR original. Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugd1022 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Nice one Jim! Let's hope they don't get mucked about with too much and stay in situ. Both types of 'running in board' come up for auction occasionally and some go for pocket money (relatively speaking), mainly due to their sheer size as they are difficult to store or display unless going straight into a museum. One of Maidenhead's WR enamel running in boards came up last year, I fancied a punt on it but changed my mind as it is so big, I think it went for peanuts in the end.

ForestPines Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Wandering around south Bristol one day I discovered this boundary marker - apparently dated 1900. It's at the bottom of an embankment which has been disused for over 40 years now; and was only just round the corner from another old survivor - a patch of 1950s prefab housing which made it into the 2010s! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted August 25, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 25, 2012 spotted this today in tyseley also been past this wagon a few times but never really had a look at it, made by R T pickering in glasgow, 1954 last inspected by my step dads company a month before i was born! 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointstaken Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 If it is still there, an LSWR plate on the face of one of the SWT main line platforms at Clapham Junction. Dennis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggesford box Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 When the station site at Braunton was being redeveloped in the late 70s/early 80s the waiting shelter on the up platform was demolished and behind one layer of boarding these where revealed:- They ended up in the goods shed at Barnstaple for onward movement to the NRM as far as I know. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptic Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) The last remnants of the 1874 built, Bournemouth New Station's (West) Refreshment Room(s). Ex- Poole and Bournemouth Railway. This single storey frontage once faced the station. The eastern (LH) extremities were later incorporated into the Queens Hotel. (Now 'The Pig & Whistle') The western facade once had a gabled bay window, matching the entrance, with a semi-circular bow window on the end wall. As you can see, this section was rebuilt, some time later. The building contained, L to R, Bar / Bar Parlour / Dining Room / Refreshment Room. The two storey building, behind, the roof of which, can be just seen, is also part of the original structure. These rear views show the one-time Sitting Room / Kitchen / Scullery / Larder / Coal House / Yard & WC, with living accommodation upstairs. The view from the 'Pig and Whistle's Beer Garden. Some 1874 brickwork ? Edit....Oops....One pint, too many....Hic!. Edited October 6, 2012 by Ceptic 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivercider Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) On holiday staying at the Tregenna Castle Hotel in St Ives last week, I saw this, and thought of this thread The Tregenna Castle was leased by the GWR in the 1880s as a hotel, and later purchased. It became part of British Transport Hotels, and was privatised in 1983, cheers Edited March 19, 2013 by Rivercider 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southernman46 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 If it is still there, an LSWR plate on the face of one of the SWT main line platforms at Clapham Junction. Dennis No - it was on the Up Fast platform wall - it went AWOL when the Down Fast was renewed in 2007 - someone in Balfour Beatty Track Renewals has a nice ornament - I'm only miffed cos I'd didn't get to it first Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 96701 Posted June 14, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 14, 2013 I took this sometime in May this year. I'm not giving any clues as to where I took it. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM42 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 The boundary marker between the LNWR and MR was still on the wall of Holliday St tunnel outside New St station when I was last legitimatley in there around 2000. I have no reason to presume it is not still there. I am also reminded of a very worn (from people staning on it) GWR boundary marker not too distant from here. Must see if it is still there. Andy.

ForestPines Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 There's a GWR road traffic weight restriction sign I know of in Bath. It's of the standard diamond pattern that are fairly common, but what's unusual is that it's not on a railway: it's by a road bridge over the Kennet & Avon canal, which the GWR bought up presumably as it was their only competition. Must take a photo when I next pass it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
great central Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Found this a couple of years ago, under a bush in Hemsby, probably still there. Absolutely no indication of where the railway ran, I suspect where the relatively new (compared to other buildings) row of shops is? Sorry it's a bit blurred, phone camera in bright sunshine, whatever that is! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
