21st November 2018. On a TimeLine Photo Charter on the North Norfolk Railway. This was my first ever visit to the Poppy Line and it took like forever to get there. I remember arriving at Sherringham on the train at 10.00pm and everyone had gone home as all the lights were turned off. Luckily my accommadation was not too far from the station.
The next day, I met up with all the other photographers for our day out on the NNR. We where not too far out from Sherringham [near the Golf Club I believe]. As GNR N2 0-6-2T No.1744 does a run past with the Quad Art Set of coaches.
The model class 150/2 is a repainted standard Bachmann offering.
The model has been backdated to as delivered condition by cutting the gangway door window and adding the perspex dirt cover.
A light weathering in due course will complete the model.
Class 47 1648 at Earlestown on a parcels service on 28/07/1971. The loco was allocated to Old Oak Common (81A) at the time. I t was released new to traffic on 22/01/1965. This loco became 47064 and the 47639 in Feb 1986 and then 47851 in Feb 1990. It is still working today for West Coast Railway in their maroon livery.
A Metro-Cammell 2 car DMU (Class 101) can also be seen signalled to take the line to Warrington Bank Quay and Chester
Class 47 no 47975 hauls 323201 through Rugby on 18 February 1993. I think this was the first time I had seen a Class 323 and I'm not sure now what this working was, or where the unit was heading. According to Wikipedia the first 323 "finally entered revenue-earning service on 7 February 1994."
47975 was originally D1723, built by Brush Traction in 1964. It was allocated 47132, but this number was never carried and it was renumbered to 47540 in October 1974. It was renumbered in the Departmental series as 47975 between August 1990 and December 1995, when it reverted to 47540. It was withdrawn in May 1998 and was, for a while, preserved at the Wensleydale Railway, but was scrapped at TJ Thomson of Stockton in April 2016.
BR Class 108 Derby DMU WR set no. S950 at Carmarthen, 22 February 1988. Based at Landore, this is possibly car no. 53926 DMBS (although the Ian Allan ABC 1988 British Rail Multiple-Units suggests that it might be 53928) and it is coupled with 52061 DMS(L)
DB Class 66 No.66067 passes Norton Fitzwarren,on the rear of the Westbury to St Blazey RHTT working,on the 24th of November 2015.
Preserved Brush Type 2 Class 31 A1A-A1A diesel locomotive 31438 at North Weald Station on the heritage Epping Ongar Railway (EOR) in Essex (UK).
31438 was built by Brush at the Falcon Works Loughborough and entered service as British Railways D5557 on October 15th 1959 with withdrawal as British Rail 31438 in September 1995.
'A1A-A1A' means there are two bogies under the locomotive. Each bogie has two powered axles and one freewheeling axle. In A1A bogies the idle axle is alway the centre axle connected wheels.
Not to be confused with the similar looking 6 wheeled Co-Co bogies which all the axles are driven.
Absolutely adore Class 31's. Cut my young trainspotting teeth spotting these at Chelmsford station on the Great Eastern Main Line in the late 1970s.
