cary hill Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 That want I though, it's not the track as the wheel bearings are in line maybe it's a bit of bad trimming with the coal it looks well loaded.

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted September 19, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 19, 2015 Any more pictures of those bullybeef engines and this 'King' could get very cross 60XX at KX g1a.jpg PS And now something for those with an interest in Plymouth. Mrs Stationmaster returned from a short holiday in Plymuff yesterday bearing a gift for moi - a copy of a 2013 published volume from Pen & ink Publishing entitled 'Backtracking Around Friary, Laira and The Plym' being basically a photo album almost entirely in colour with 'then & now' views in the above area and it extends its coverage to the east end of North Road station. Some of the photo reproduction is a bit on the 'muddy' side but a lot of it is pretty good with very good colour rendition and the captions seem good too. 'Then' is rather flexible as it varies from views at Laira and Friary sheds in steam days (all in colour!) to 'blue period' diesels at such places as Tavvy Jcn or on a weedkiller train down to Friary yard and many places (e.g friary station) are not really covered in the steam. There is apparently a second volume to come covering the west side of the city which presumably will commence at teh west end of North Road although I don't know how far west it will go. Some of the images in the book can be found at this website - overprinted alas http://classictractionimages.weebly.com I've got that one, Mike, and I rate it highly. Bernard Mills is a highly respected local photographer and still (I believe) does a bit of part time work in Plymouth booking office. He chronicled is long railway career with some really useful archive type shots of the locations he worked in, including gems such as Tavistock North etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Stationmaster returned from a short holiday in Plymuff yesterday bearing a gift for moi - a copy of a 2013 published volume from Pen & ink Publishing entitled 'Backtracking Around Friary, Laira and The Plym' being basically a photo album almost entirely in colour with 'then & now' views in the above area and it extends its coverage to the east end of North Road station. Some of the photo reproduction is a bit on the 'muddy' side but a lot of it is pretty good with very good colour rendition and the captions seem good too. As this was my turf, I reckon I have just about all that's written about it. Best part about this book is that the author, obviously familiar with the area, has got it right and with a lot of information I knew nothing of. It would be so much nicer in a larger format though as the pictures tend to be small and there is so much detail to be seen, it cries out to be bigger. But what there is, is great for those like me a long way away. One thing always fascinates me, is the slowly rotting boat near the rather ostentatiously named 'Ocean Sidings' It was called the Wren and has been there ever since before my time and with the most recent pictures, there does not appear to be much left in the mud. This one of the perks about having an interest in railways; there's always something to add to the hobby even at this distance. Brian 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
