RMweb Gold 96701 Posted December 8, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 8, 2014 J10022 is of a Plasser GP72. J1702 includes a ballast cleaner that is definitely not an RM74, but the coach is the living van for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium keefer Posted December 8, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 8, 2014 Amazing pics again Dave, every one interesting on so many levels. J839 especially, early blue peak on mixed livery stock - I know there are many fans of this livery on RmWeb! J10022 is useful for showing a nice little 'crane train' which could fit on a lot of smaller layouts - I suppose you could substitute an older type of crane, just shows you don't need a huge crane with loads of tool vans etc to be realistic 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted December 8, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 8, 2014 Hi, Dave. Excellent photo's tonight. J1702 of Loughborough Midland Goods Yard does indeed have an ex-LNER 12ton box van up against the buffer stop, and also the carriage looks like an ex-LMS period l TK. I like that lorry as well, so typical of the period. Yes, I really like seeing the peak in the early blue livery. Please keep the photo's coming, All the best, Market65.

RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted December 8, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 8, 2014 Hi David It's probably been said many times before, but for someone like me who models the late 60's era and wasn't around then, photos like these are invaluable to try and get things right. Thanks, Paul 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John Isherwood Posted December 9, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) J839 strange looking blue on this one, i do like that color! That's the early, (what has become known as), Chromatic Blue - which some pundits will tell you did not exist ! I seem to recall that, when the corporate image was initially publicised, the colours were officially named as Monastral Blue and Grey. Cue furious (and polarised) debate !!! Regards, John Isherwood.

Jon Fitness Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Absolutely love J1248 and something I never saw even when spotting around North Manchester around 81-83. I think the Topley Pike-Pendleton stone train was double headed for a while in the early 80s. I'll try to find a picture I took from Brindle Heath sidings box...Jon F.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted December 9, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 9, 2014 Hi, Dave. Love tonight's photo's of Sowerby Bridge. The last one of the class 110 DMU shows a passenger opening a door before the train has come to a stop. You cannot do that today! Please keep the photo's coming, All the best, Market65.

HGT1972 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 The old ballast cleaner in J1702 at Loughborough was a Matisa 3B5 (they were DR76000-18 under CEPS). Most of them seemed to use an old Medfit as a runner for the conveyor at the nearest end. I think that LNER van might be in internal use as a store - there's no sign of a number or tare and a number seemed to end up like this around the country in similar condition. A great photo and full of atmosphere! Thanks for sharing it! Hywel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted December 10, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) Photos taken between Low Gill and Shap over a long time span for this evening. The earlier ones were taken on a half frame camera, hence the quality (or lack of it). Low Gill LMS Fairburn 2-6-4T down light engine Aug 65 J302 I'm not sure of the number. The number it most looks like is not a Fairburn number!

RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted December 10, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 10, 2014 A few 422xx series Fairburns were active in the Tebay area in mid 1965, so probably one of those. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted December 10, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 10, 2014 Hi, Dave. Excellent photo's. That first one is a Fairburn - I've just cross-checked with Bachmann model and the Hornby Stanier - and as TheSignalEngineer has posted, it is almost certainly one of those in the 422xx number series.Now J302 of a 40 at Scout Green on the 8th, August, 1965, is a real classic view, the kind that you associate with all of those top photographers of the period. It could easily have been published in Modern Railways to give an example. Well done to your Dad, and many thanks for posting it. Please keep the photo's coming, All the best, Market65.

jonny777 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Oh my..... A white Mini Traveller at Sowerby Bridge. I used to have one of those (and in white), although mine had more primer than original paint, where I had sanded down and filled the rust patches. I gave it an "acceleration test" one Sunday morning, and it managed to do 0-60 mph in just under a minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted December 11, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) A few from the High Dyke branch today. Colsterworth, A1 in foreground Class 31 5671 down empty iron ore June 72 C0988 I took this from the passenger seat of Dad's Saab 96 (we both owned one) whilst waiting to cross the A1 from the eastern side to get to Colsterworth and then home to Buckminster. Nowadays the road passes over the A1 using the site of the railway bridge just out of shot to the left. At that time you had to cross the A1 by waiting for a gap in the traffic and them getting moving quickly, the gap in the central reservation is just to the right of the photo.. You can of course explore the area using Google Earth Colsterworth Class 31 up iron ore crossing old A1 April 72 C 915 Colsterworth Quarry British Steel 0-4-0 diesel and excavator in quarry Feb 73 C1171 Skillington junction Class 31 up iron ore June 72 C0990 Woolsthorpe Lane level crossing Class 31 up iron ore April 72 J2895 David Edited December 11, 2014 by DaveF 26 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren01 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I do like the shot of the 31 in two tone green with the new BR logo, if you did this to a model it would raise a few eyebrows!. Keep the photo coming just love seeing you and your Dads photo's! Darren Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
