C1373 - not sure whether it's 7535 or 7539 (perhaps someone else has better eyesight than me!) If it is 7535 then it is a happy coincidence as I had a ride behind that loco on Saturday at the Spa Valley Scottish Steam celebration. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted September 2 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 2 Good evening, David. That’s a superb set of photo’s of the ECML on Stoke Bank at Swayfield. In particular the last photo’ of Class 55, 55019, Royal Highland Fusilier, on a down express passenger train, in December, 1974, is a most atmospheric shot in the low December sunlight. The black and white photo’s of Cambridge, Trumpington and South Lynn, are a most excellent and historical selection. JVol3098, at Cambridge south, with B1, 61094, on a passenger service from Cambridge to Kings Cross, in c1948, is a beautifully composed shot of the train.

That might explain the back end of the train - with the catering vehicles part of the train originating or terminating at Leeds - and the duplication of brake vehicles. 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted September 3 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 3 Good evening, David. That’s a fantastic set of photo’s of the north ramp of the Gotthard route in Switzerland at Amsteg Silenen, on the 8th August, 1988. In particular I like C10452, of Re4/4i, 10004, on an Airolo to Luzern service. A superb composition with the train, station buildings and a mountainous background. The photo’s from today at at Damdykes level crossing are an excellent selection of today’s railway. The last photo’ of Lumo, 803002, on train, 1S91, the 05.48 Kings Cross to Edinburgh, at 10.08, is an excellent photo’ and you have also captured a plane going over too. The photo’s of places beginning with an L are a great set. The last photo’ at Low Fell (Gateshead), with a Class 31, on an up train of barrier coaches plus a Mk3, on Monday the 17th February, 1986, is a fantastic shot. It would make a superb train to run on a model railway. Very best regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit further north the four track section become double track through Stoke Tunnel so there would rarely be a clear run for trains on the slow line. As mentioned I do have a few photos with the distant signal off but I've no idea where they are in this thread!. David 1 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted September 4 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 4 Good evening, David. That’s a fantastic miscellany of photo’s of places beginning with W. The last photo’ at Whaley Bridge, of the Peak Forest tramway canal basin, in April, 1972, is superb. A real gem. Thank you for posting it. The photo’s from around Ulgham Lane crossing are an excellent set. C6681, of 47426, on an Edinburgh to Newcastle service, on the 3rd January, 1985, is a well composed photo’, and the cab of the 47 is gleaming in the low winter sun.
