Artless Bodger Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 C6335 'ano' looks like its a Ruston Hornsby 165HP loco (can just make out the coupling rods) of the earlier style (later ones had raked cab fronts). Probably the diesel mechanical version as you can (I think) just make out the rearwards connecting rod to the jackshaft. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted June 4 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 4 Oh, the East Boldon shot brought a lot of memories, my late pal Plum (Keith Plumpton) became the signalman there so we spent time there and Tile Sheds as kids trainspotting, and later (shh) in the box with him. He died sadly young of natural causes, we were the same age. I enjoyed the early Carnforth shots too, I recall visiting there in the 70's and seeing the two German locos and the French pacific in steam, must have been some kind of a gala day. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted June 4 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted June 4 Now for today's black and white print. This is one of Dad's early railway photos, he was 20 when he took it. I think he came back to England from India the previous year and then started taking photos.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 4 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 4 Good evening, David. That’s an excellent set of photo’s of the Tyne at Dunston with one at East Boldon on the line to Sunderland. The last photo’ at East Boldon, with two two car Class 101’s on a Sunderland to Newcastle service, on the 23rd June, 1984, is a superb reminder of how many local services used to be until the second generation units came along. The ECML photo’s at Buston Barns, and a little further south Warkworth, are a superb set. The last photo’ at Warkworth, with a Class 40, on an up freightliner, in August, 1980, is a superbly composed shot of the 40 looking most imposing from that angle. The black and white print of LNER A3, 81, Shotover, on the down Flying Scotsman, at York, in May, 1947, is a beautiful photo’ of the A3 on the world famous train. With warmest regards, Rob. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you may have caught two 'Universities' the nearest being 43153 University of Durham, and possibly 43056 University of Bradford, going on the emblem on the nameplate looking less colourful than 'County' ones which were 053 Humberside and 104 Cleveland. Oh, and I thought you were going for a hat-trick of 47s in that post, but after 471 and 472, there was no 473.... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were a pretty basic camera! https://cameragocamera.com/2020/02/08/kershaw-eight-20-penguin/ As could be said, any photo is better than no photo at all. That said, looking at the photo of the "Penguin", I think I bought one from a charity shop years ago, before they started pricing with reference to ebay. I don't think I ever actually ran film through it, but it'll be "in store" somewhere....

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 5 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 5 Good evening, David. That is a fantastic set of photo’s of the Midland at Kibworth and Kimbolton. J3176, at Kibworth North, with Class 45 151, on a down express, in April, 1973, is a superb composition, and a classic Midland express. The 45 has a bare looking frame to the secondman’s windscreen, and the characters in the headcode box are variable in visibility.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted June 6 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 6 Good evening, David. Firstly, I am sorry you are not feeling well. I hope you will recover from the IBS quickly. Please don’t feel under pressure to resume posting photo’s. We can all enjoy what you have aleady posted, it is a real treasure trove of railway history. Those are a lovely and atmospheric set of photo’s of Ribblehead. I particularly like the last one of LNER V2 4771 Green Arrow, on the The Norfolkman, on the 25th March, 1978. Very best wishes, Rob. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leander Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 J253 may well feature a Jubilee rather than a Black 5, going by the profile of the chimney. The length of the tender sugests that it's a Stanier 3500 gallon type. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
35A Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Sorry to hear that you are feeling under the weather, David. You may have seen, in the BBC News, today, that scientists have identified a defective gene, common to 95% of studied sufferers of IBS. Medical trials have been successful - although not yet on humans, meaning that there won't be any progress any time soon. ☹️ I hope that you will soon be back to as near full health as any of us can get, at our ages! 😀 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
