Zomboid Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 This topic really gets my goat! Here is former DSB MY1108, at the time (2001) one of two locos acquired by Tågåkeriet i Bergslagen in Sweden, painted and lettered in tribute to the Great Northern Railway (not Railroad) of the USA - complete with that company's famous mountain goat emblem. 2U01012b.jpg 1U02019.jpg (A case of rescuing an under-exposed slide as the specular reflection had fooled my dear T90's meter - thank Fuji for the latitude of Provia!) That was apparently done for a film where the star refused to go to their USA for some reason, so they painted that (because it looks slightly like an F unit) and a shunter of some sort in GNR orange & green, so they could pretend Sweden was Montana (or something similar). I keep finding models of it when searching eBay for Great Northern stuff (thankfully looking for HO scale eliminates that Doncaster junk ). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Class 37 no. 37403 'Isle of Mull' leaves Ravenglass on 24th August this year, bound probably for Barrow-in Furness. Although they look best on the WHL and Far North Line, the livery doesn't look bad in Cumbria. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted September 26, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) I don't think any of my railway photos show anything further north than Oxford, so it's another one of Dad's next - looking like a solid bit of motive power - but I could be wrong.

Liam Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 About 200 miles south east of the last pic, but most definitely still the north! LMS 'Black Five' no. 44806 enters Levisham on the NYMR with the diner on 9th October 2016. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal.n Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Train on left of pic, via ecml. I went the other way. Not a very good photo, but its my most northern railway photo from the most northern bit of the standard gauge railway network. The buffers at Thurso, where one ScotRail driver decided he would be the most northern train ever by a few more inches then anyone else... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
