RMweb Gold Downendian Posted March 23, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) Good evening all, just a couple of slides I've just won to keep this thread ticking over. Both will need a bit of work with photoshop to colour correct and scan at better resolution but this made them fairly cheap. The first just wow, D801 and D802 which looks shortly after withdrawal - is it Laira or Old Oak? Next D816 Eclipse at Newton Abbott These must have been taken around 1969, D816 had single Central BR arrow by then. 801 and 802 were being stripped at Laira Neil Edited March 24, 2015 by Downendian 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted March 23, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 23, 2015 816 would appear to be at Newton, I reckon the top one is somewhere in the vicinity of Laira judging by the various trees in the background. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted March 23, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 23, 2015 816 is at Newton Abbott. 801 alone was right at the back of Newton Abbott shed on 7/6/70. Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Trevellan Posted March 24, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 24, 2015 I have the Bachmann model of D801 in maroon with rather crude factory weathering. The real thing looks much cleaner while being broken up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Downendian Posted March 24, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 24, 2015 One of the distinguishing features of D800-802 was they lacked the roof fan walkways. I can't get the BBcode to work on my iPad but here's a link to the only shot I can find of 801s roof from the Robert Carroll collection. https://www.flickr.com/photos/robertcwp/5602536637/in/set-72157603648348394 Neil 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my spotting book I have no record of seeing either 801 or 802. cheers Me neither. I was told by the locals at Exeter in 1969 that both locos were visible from trains passing Laira, and all I had to do was get a return to Plymouth, but I was a bit strapped for cash. They suggested I just travelled sans-ticket, but I had just recovered from having my name and address taken the previous evening by the ticket inspector for the 'crime' of standing at the vestibule window of the first carriage (which on this day happened to be 1st class) of the Golden Hind between Exeter and Newton Abbot, so the thought of my parents being invoiced for excess fares, etc., was more than I could cope with, so I am entirely responsible for missing my chance.

Garry Morris Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Thanks to everyone who posts pictures.Nostalgia is very therapeutic! With regard to 801/802 they were indeed separated with 801 languishing at Newton Abbot for some time. It is widely believed that they moved to Swindon on 21st July 1970. D839 Relentless collected Vanguard from Newton Abbot with a brake van and proceeded on to Exeter where Formidable and D830 Majestic were added to the convoy. This train left at 13.36 as 8Z36 bound for Swindon. Hence the picture of them coupled together in Swindon yard. There is a picture of this convoy posted somewhere. It would be interesting to build a full picture of these type of movements for disposal while we are all still here! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Here is a photo to re-ignite (or maybe not) the chromatic blue debate. Given that the 4-COR nearest to D831 is in BR Blue, it is difficult to make a case that the two blues are the same shade. https://www.flickr.com/photos/49487903@N03/6716649521/ 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry Morris Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 D1030 (of Landore) on the Par Park Royal Freightliner. This train was only worked by Westerns on a handful of occasions because not many were air braked and those that were stayed in South Wales at the time. I don't know of any other photo in existence of a hydraulic on this train-prove me wrong! 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
