RMweb Premium keefer Posted Tuesday at 17:01 RMweb Premium Share Posted Tuesday at 17:01 (edited) I think I remember those Pegswood pictures from before - I'd assumed that there would have been wholesale demolition as well as the bing removal but looking at more modern maps it seemed that at least some terraces were retained.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted Tuesday at 17:12 RMweb Gold Share Posted Tuesday at 17:12 Good evening, David. That’s a fantastic set of photo’s of the Thames Haven branch (Shell Haven branch), and the Great Eastern in Essex and Suffolk. In particular I like C3561, at Manningtree, of SR Class S15 841, Greene King, & Class 31, 31125, on a special train from Liverpool St to Dinting, in October, 1977. A beautiful three quarter portrait shot of the steam locomotive. The Northumberland ECML photo’s north of Morpeth but south of Alnmouth, are a superb selection. C6011, at Widdrington station, with a Class 254 HST, on an up express train, in April, 1983, is a most impressive photo’, superbly composed, of the iconic train. Very best regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted yesterday at 17:49 RMweb Gold Share Posted yesterday at 17:49 Good evening, David. That’s a superb set of photo’s of the Great Eastern at Church Lane crossing, and Chelmsford. In particular I like the last photo’ at Chelmsford, with 37014 on a down express, on Saturday the 4th March, 1978. A splendid composition in the weak early March sun. The photo’s from between Peterborough and Grantham are a fantastic selection. The last photo’ at Swayfield, with a Class 55, on a down express, in December, 1974, is a superb shot of the train the low December sun. A stunning sight.

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted 14 hours ago Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted 14 hours ago Switzerland again this morning. This time we are at Buchs which is in the north east of the country on the west bank of the Rhein. Just across the river is Liechtenstein, east of that is of course Austria. The SBB line through Buchs runs from St Margrethan in the north to Sargans and then onto Chur to the south. Coming in through Liechtenstein is the OBB line over the Arlberg Pass. So there is a mix of Austrian and SBB locos and stock to be seen. The photos are from 1988 and 1990. Buchs OBB Class 1044 1044 122 EC Transalpin Basel to Wien 1st Aug 88 C9907 Buchs OBB 4030 310 Buchs to Feldkirck 1st Aug 88 C9908 Buchs E33 8487 plinthed outside station1st Aug 88 C9911 Buchs SBB Ae6/6 11441 EC Franz Schubert Basel to Wien West 5th Aug 90 C14790 Buchs SBB Ae4/7 10921 5th Aug 90 C14796 David 30 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted 5 hours ago RMweb Gold Share Posted 5 hours ago Good evening, David. That’s a superb set of photo’s of Switzerland at Buchs from 1988 and 1990. I particularly like the first photo’ of OBB Class 1044, 1044 122, on the EC Transalpin, from Basel to Wien, on the 1st August, 1988. A most expertly composed photo’. The photo’s of the ECML in County Durham at Ferryhill, Sunderland Bridge and Croxdale viaduct, are a fantastic selection. C20575, at Sunderland Bridge, with a Class 91, on a Kings Cross to Newcastle express, on the 24th October, 1995, is a most atmospheric shot of the train in the late October sun.
