Blackthorn Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I never knew Felixstowe handled cars, were they export or import? The cars look like Austin Allegro's, so I imagine they're for export. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold russ p Posted November 22, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 22, 2015 Looking at them close up they appear LHD so they probably export. Allegro's were also built in Belgium so they could be import if RHD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted November 22, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 22, 2015 Hi, Dave. Love the NYMR photo's which bring back happy memories of the lines early days. Then there are a good set of photo's of the Great Eastern line. I like the one with Green King and the 47, for that did turn out very well indeed. With best regards, Rob.

lmsforever Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Amazing that Allegros were exported what poor devils had the pleasure of watching them rust before there very eyes they even sent them on open wagons excelerating the rusting and I bet the damn things were mechanicaly crap, as you gather I was not a fan of BMC.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted November 23, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2015 Hi, Dave. I sincerely hope that your mouth where the pulled tooth was is not too painful at all, and quickly heals. Now, then, some lovely photo's of Thirsk tonight, along with one of Scarborough, which you were kind enough to post on my East Yorkshire thread. Thirsk station was not actually pulled down, but burnt down! I just cannot recall the year that it happened. I believe it was vandalism that was responsible for the fire. With best regards, Rob.

luckymucklebackit Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Very unusual colour of sky, especially picture C6868, blue isn't a common shade associated with West Highland photographs, And the ground is dry - very unprototypical!!!!
