luckymucklebackit Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Looks like Crewe? And a 91 too? 90048 was on display at Crewe Works Open Day on 21st July 1990 along with several class 91s, I would think that this was taken shortly afterwards Jim 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I at the time needed a few 90`s, 90049 being one of them which I didn`t see at Crewe works it said by some enthusiasts that it was at the top of Crewe works, and other enthusiasts said it was in Crewe Electric.

Pyewipe Jct Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Only just seen this thread - coming from Lincolnshire, sparkies were always quite exotic & our paths rarely crossed, so I haven't got that many shots, but hopefully there are a few here that might interest people (I think Jez has already seen some of these). Class 81 Class 82 Class 85 Class 86 Class 87 Class 89 Class 90 Class 91 Class 92 I know there are more somewhere (including at least one 83 at Euston), but as yet I haven't been able to find where I put them 'for safe keeping'...

kevpeo Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Why is this one in Belgian livery? :confused: 90 128-30 were painted in 'foreign' liveries (German/Belgian/French) as part of the freightconnection92 event. 90 136 also later got a version of French 'sybic' colours. Some of us 'sados' even did repaints of them all! Kev. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Turpin Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) I apologise for the quality of these. These three pics show one train passing the site of the old Brinklow station on the Trent Valley line sometime in January 1979. No exact date or engine number I'm afraid.

These three pics show one train passing the site of the old Brinklow station on the Trent Valley line sometime in January 1979. No exact date or engine number I'm afraid. PICT101.pngPICT202.pngPICT303.png That last picture is interesting because it shows how the streamlining of the undersides of the Mk3s created a new problem. The snow is blown and channeled underneath and around the smooth sided Mk3s but is less apparent around the MK1 BG at the end, flow being more disrupted and turbulant. Snow gets where rain doesn't, Eurostar fairly recently suffered with snow ingress. I remember one winter in the 80s where HST power cars were dropping like flys with power earth faults. By the time they got looked at on depot there was nothing detectable. The traction motor connections were bolted lugs and sleeved in a heat shrunk sleeving. If the sleeving had not been done properly or was deteriorating it allowed snow in which caused the earth faults. The nearest thing we could do to replicate the problem was to have a guy underneath pointing a jet wash at the connections while we tested the cables upstairs. Don't know if the AC electrics had similar problems when the were shoving a push/pull set. Probably not if the connections were in sealed boxes like on most locos....

Dave I read somewhere that the AC electrics used to connect up to the DVT when heading back to London as the snow affected them in push mode. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Turpin Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 A couple more from the snow at Brinklow 1979. The bridge on which Brinklow station building once stood. And a class 87 about to race under it heading south towards Rugby. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Turpin Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) And a little more up to date, though a tad rare for Northallerton on the ECML, 21st August 2008. I think it's the only class 86 I have ever seen on this stretch of line. Light engine, travelling south towards York. 86639 Edited January 8, 2017 by Dick Turpin 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
