luckymucklebackit Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Post 287 - Think image 1 is actually Nairn this time. Google streetview suggests a bit of restoration on a chimney, and vegetation obscuring the dormer-windowed house in the distance (although it's still there) Image 3 is at Alloa. Think you mean 8 is Alloa, (or did you mean the third one down Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted December 9, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 9, 2015 Is that a 4-COR? If so, might be the "Nelson to Waterloo" farewell railtour, shown as stopping there in 1972 - http://www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk/70s/721001se.html It looks to me to be a 4 COR but I'm no expert on SR units.

eastwestdivide Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 It looks to me to be a 4 COR but I'm no expert on SR units. Think so - whatever it is, it's a very uncommon type (i.e. old SR express unit) for the SE division/Orpington, which is why it piqued my curiosity. And again, there's a lot of platform-end activity for a normal service train as opposed to an enthusiast special. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) Thankyou very much to everyone who has contributed to the latest identifications. Yes, the Nelson To Waterloo tour of 1/10/72 does seem a very good shout, as the station is Orpington. I bet they didn't get many 4-CORs there, if any, until that trip. If the tanks on 14 are at Cranmore, then I suspect that 13 was taken from the same railtour - The Somerset Quarryman of 16/4/72. The other reversal points were Radstock West, Writhlington, Merehead, Witham and Yeovil. Could that be St Nicholas' Church, Radstock in the distance on 13, with the track leading to the site of a turntable in the foreground?

jonny777 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Could someone please put me out of my misery and identify this location please. I have been looking in likely areas, (the destination blind reads Cambridge) but there are lots of stations which tend to look the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny777 Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 That is great, thanks. It has saved me hours of searching for what I thought was a single line junction with double track. Now I realise that the singled track must be what remains of the old slow lines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
