Query Stopping train, 1960s - where is this? [Added 8 February 2012] |
Comments so far Could this be Portessie on the Moray Coast line? Looking west on a service heading for Cullen and Cairnie Jct? Tavish Roberts At first, the Station Building looks GNSR but judging by the Footbridge, this is not the case. The weather looks like the Great North area. Charles Beaton Its definitely not Portessie and Im pretty sure its not GNSR either as the footbridge, building and lamps are not typical GNSR design. John Williamson Does have the feel of the GNSR coast line - Moray Firth visible on the right? Portknockie possibly, but foot bridge must have had some later alterations. Brian Taylor

Query Unidentified locomotive on shed - where is this? [Added 7 February 2012] |
Comments so far I dont think there is any doubt that the shed is Retford GN in its BR rebuilt form. It is well illustrated in Vol.2 of the Griffiths & Hooper history of GN sheds. The loco cab-side number looks like 62039, which was allocated there during the early 1960s. Jim Lindsay K1 2-6-0 at 36E Retford (GN) shed, c1960. 62037? Vic Smith Jim seems to have the locos identity correct, as it seems legible as such, (with magnification). Given the knowledge of the locale and 039s allocation Im inclined to trust his location too.

Query A view through a bridge... where and when? [Added 7 February 2012] |
Comments so far Fearn station on the Far North Line, looking south-west. Possibly another of David Spavens photos taken in 1974. Kenneth Leiper A product of the Rose Street Foundry: Fearn? Jim Watson Looks like the disused footbridge at Fearn station around 1973/74. Jim Rafferty Location Fearn, photographer David Spaven. Bill Jamieson Possibly Abernethy on Ladybank - Hilton Jct route. No footbridge today but in the photo it didnt look to have long either. Andrew Wallace Fearn again? As per: http://www.railbrit.co.uk/imageenlarge/imagecomplete2.php?id=37375 Jamie Wood
