RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 17, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17, 2018 Hi, Dave. I like the lovely set of Derby photos. The class 120 unit in C6520 has both been declassified and has a class 101 TSL. In the last photo, 31190 has the white dots in the former head code box, but they both have diagonal lines crossing them. Splits in the dots or glazing is what I’m wondering - it’s certainly a fantastic photo of that loco. With warmest regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 18, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 18, 2018 Hi, Dave. I like the Scottish photos. They are very scenic and atmospheric. Lairg makes a fine sight in the last photo in August, 1973. You can see two former Gresley corridor carriages in use by the pw department. With warmest regards, Rob.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 19, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 19, 2018 Hi, Dave. I like the Carlisle photo's. In particular, in the second one, C7076, it is a fine view of 87032, on 6th, August, 1985. The one of 143002, in C7079, is already historical since the 143's are now working elsewhere in the South of Wales and south west of England (Cardiff and Exeter in particular).

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 20, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 20, 2018 Hi, Dave. I like the Newcastle to Carlisle photos. Apart from that one at Corbridge, the first one at Blaydon is of interest too. The Monkhouse and Brown building is good and grim! It's crying out to be modelled. With warmest regards, Rob.

RMweb Gold DaveF Posted January 21, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2018 Presumably the Western Region IC125 at Hexham in C6734 was on diversion? Nothing that simple. It was on display for the 150th anniversary of the opening of the line from Blaydon to Hexham. So a WR HST was an obvious choice - presumably Heaton just happened to have it "spare that weekend" - probably off the NE/SW route. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They show much going on that day, and Cookham Manor and Hinderton Hall make splendid sights in the last two photos. With warmest regards, Rob.
