D6732 (class 37) and D7659 (class 25) parked up at Weybourne on the North Norfolk Railway. Taken through a carriage window!
We on our way into Sydney, and driving along across the Blue Mountains. We spotted the end of a train carriage, not realize it was the Indian pacific heading back to Sydney! We saw it a little further on and managed to got ahead of it. We found a good spot to stop along the side of the Great Western Highway, near Leura..
Als full time vader en echtgenoot sta ik, op de incidentele hoofdlijnritten van de SSN of VSM en de evenementen na, bijna niet meer langs het spoor. Wat ik aan NS (of andere maatschappijen) materieel fotografeer is vaak bijvangst van stoom of museummaterieel waar ik voor op uit was getrokken. Gelukkig komt het nog wel een enkele keer voor dat ik even tijd heb, maar dat is helaas maar sporadisch.
As a full-time father and husband I hardly make pictures of regular trains. Almost only when the SSN or VSM has one of their rare main line trips, I am able to catch some regular trains too. So what I catch with my camera of the NS (or other companies) trains is often a side catch of steam or museum material passing by. Fortunately I do find occasionally some time to make pictures.
As legatee of the unorthodox Great Western Railway, the Western Region of British Railways inherited a tradition of independent-mindedness ...not to say bone-headed contrariness. When it replaced its steam locomotives with a diesel fleet, it decided to use hydraulic transmission rather than the diesel-electric system favoured everywhere on Britain's railways. This noble but doomed experiment produced a fleet of locomotives which were ...rather like myself... handsome but temperamental. The technology had been proved in Germany but 15 years after the war it was still not politic for Britain's state-owned railways to order from a German supplier. Thus these Maybach MD655 (65 litre) engines were built under licence in England by the Bristol-Siddeley company. I believe the MD655 had originally been developed for marine application ...its ancestor being the power unit of wartime German E-boats. Since no engine capable of delivering the necessary power could be fitted within the dimensions of a British locomotive, each locomotive had to have two of these engines. The Western Region diesel-hydraulic fleet had a short life. This engine was photographed in the scrapyard in September 1975.
