The leading blue DMBS looks like a cl.126 car with the van at the inner end, the other two driving cars are cl.126 DMS with gangway ends (they look different from normal as there is a toilet behind the cab) 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted August 22 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 22 Good evening, David. That’s a superb assortment of Scottish of photo’s. I especially like the first photo’ at Thurso with a Class 24, on the 25th June, 1969. That’s an excellent set of photo’s of the London Tilbury and Southend around Chalkwell and Leigh on Sea. In particular, I like the first photo’ at Chalkwell, with 302252 leading a 12 car formation, on an up service, in October, 1974.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted August 23 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 23 Good evening, David. That’s a fantastic set of photo’s of the Talyllyn Railway. I particularly like the last picturesque photo’ at Dolgoch, of No 6, Douglas, on the 31st August, 1969. The photo’s of the Newcastle to Carlisle line, heading west, starting at Hexham, passing Fourstones and ending up at Haydon Bridge, are an excellent and nostalgic selection. What a remarkable photo’ C6504, is at Fourstones, from high up, with a Class 37 on an eastbound light engine movement, on the 9th June, 1984.

RMweb Premium Mol_PMB Posted August 24 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 24 J5109 is interesting in the variety of wagons and grades of coal. And they all seem jumbled up too. So in some ways it's a block train of coal, but it's probably made up of several short sections with different origins and/or destinations. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I put photos like this on the web I wish that I knew the details of the working so I could try to work out why it is such a mixed bag of wagons. I have a small collection of working timetables but nothing like enough to be of any practical use when I caption photos. David 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted August 24 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 24 Good evening, David. That’s a superb set of photo’s of Parkend on the Dean Forest Railway in April, 1972. In particular I like the first photo’ of Peckett Uskmouth number 1. A really lovely composition. The five photo’s without a connecting theme are a delightful selection, and the first photo’ at High Marnham, with a Class 37 on a down coal train, in April, 1976, is an excellent shot of the train.

David Well according to an entry in thegrowlergroup.org.uk for 37215, it worked 8P89 in 1973 which was 16.03 Doncaster - Whitemoor Whether a portion was detached at Lincoln, I don't know, but it could explain the formation. The line past High Marnham was freight only and closed beyond High Marnham in 1980 after a derailment which caused damage beyond economical repair, so was lifted between there and Pyewipe Junction - Lincoln, with the Fledborough viaduct over The Trent now being a cycle route.... 1 1 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post DaveF Posted August 25 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted August 25 (edited) More black and white photos this afternoon. This time they are at Radford Junction on the Midland, where the line to Bulwell and beyond to Annesley, Mansfield and so on diverges from the line through Watnall and on to a south facing junction onto the Erewash Valley line. South from Radford Junction you end up at the Trowell junction just outside Nottingham. If you do not know the area a map might be helpful to separate out the Midland, Great Central and Great Northern lines at Bulwell and beyond.

Artless Bodger Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 The lamp hanging from the corner of Radford Jct signal box - what is that for, I've not seen one like that before (that I can remember)? It seems to have blinders on the side to shine across the tracks only, but not in line with the crossing. To illuminate the coal (?) bin opposite? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
