Class 74 electro-diesel locomotive No. 74003 eases onto 4TC unit No. 412 at Romsey. This was one of the scheduled stops on the "Class 74 Farewell" railtour, which ran from Waterloo and visited Southampton, Lymington and Bournemouth, among other places, on Saturday 3rd December 1977. Until I checked the entry for this event on the excellent Six Bells Junction web site, I had absolutely no recollection that 74003 experienced difficulties with her diesel engine at Romsey, causing the railtour to be delayed for about an hour. I'm not sure whether the view above was before or after the engine incident. For some other superb shots of this special train, see 54A South Dock's photostream:
Class 119 L579 made up of 51065,59424 & 51103 Draws into Tonbridge with the 10:51 from Reigate, 18th April 1990 (Tonbridge Album Scan 9).
I normally steer clear of purchasing prints, however I came across a whole album of original Tonbridge shots. I collect old Tonbridge Slides / Negs so thought these were to good to let go, some very nice shots in there too. I will upload them all as and when I have time to scan them, probably around 50 in total. Unfortunately I can only assume the original negatives have since long been destroyed...
I hope they are of interest...
Scanned from an original print.

I have started to collect a number of original slides (with copyright) 'most' of which probably haven’t been seen before. Some come with image information and some don't. Please feel free to leave a comment if you know locations, dates, numbers etc, it would be much appreciated. I have uploaded these at a low resolution, please don't copy / download without my prior permission.
I only collect slides on the understanding that the full copyright transfers over to me. If you believe there to be a copyright issue please drop me an email.

An unidentified Class 40 heads a northbound freight, probably rock salt in antiquated wagons, passing Waitby.
Information received suggests that the loco is 40 025 formerly named "Lusitania" and the train may be 6S52 Winsford - Mossend/Inverness with rock salt for the coming winter.

Dating from 1952 and originally numbered 13005 and then D3005, Class 08 08002 was pictured on Doncaster MPD on October 16th 1977. It had been withdrawn the previous month and was eventually scrapped at Swindon Works during January 1978. It carries a DR shed sticker but in 1955 it was allocated to 67C Ayr.
A class 158 2 car unit forming 1L12 1102 Perth to Edinburgh runs through the autumnal Fife countryside just south of Lindores Loch.
The mass of bracken takes something of an effort to wade through but the colouring is spectacular at this time of year.

Class 37's No. 37611 on the front and 37800 on the rear, a Tyseley T.M.D. to Derby R.T.C. Network rail working passes through Water Orton with the attention of the assembled Rail enthusiasts. 31-08-21.
From one of Nick's many unmarked prints and slides. Cheers mate ! This is probably 1977 as he seems to have a few Southern Railway signal box photos around Wimbledon and Richmond from that year. This looks like it's taken from a train between Clapham Junction and Queenstown Road Battersea from my hazy memory. I can't ID the loco as I'm rather hamstrung with IT failures at the moment so have limited enhancing and lack of magnification. Hopefully top loco detective Steve Thomas will be a great help with a lot of Nick's unmarked photos. I'm currently managing to use an Epson App to scan photos on my smartphone then upload to Flickr. Not ideal but at least I can get some photos up and running with the Slidefest hopefully to come soon.
My ever patience girlfriend Lesley sit's on the platform at Hellifield Station as Class 40 40073 rumbles past with a coal train we were on holiday staying in Settle and photographing on the Settle to Carlisle line there was plenty of freight's about to photograph mainly in the hand's of Class 40.s A great line to photograph on. KC 14/07/1977.
