Let's have a bit more "where and when" fun!

is a shot of Black 5 4-6-0



44818 "somewhere in LNWR territory" (note the water cranes) with an interesting pair of blue liveried class 20 diesels in the background (note the BR logo on the left hand example has been applied back-to-front).

It should be possible to date the picture to within a year or so thanks to the presence of the diesels, but where was the image made?

Are those "Pressflo" wagons to the right...??

20's ...mountain range ...wagons Lancs to Peak-district area...??

Colin.

Brookfold sidings , between Godley Jct and Apethorne Jct, CLC? I don't know if the OHL extended past the turntable . If it did then I am wrong. Bill

Sorry , completely wrong , not in "LNWR territory" Bill

I seem to remember a shed location of Heaton Mersey (Gowhole).... Colin.

My mate reckons its BUXTON ?

And I tend to agree

Fat Richard

As an aside that Black 5 is a tight fit on the turntable.

This was pointed out in my original posting Rich. The locos seems to be D8048 (from the scan of the original negative) and that is recorded as being the only class 20 to have had the logo applied *back-to-front* so to speak.

John.

The double arrow symbol is reversed, so that the top arrow faces forward. They did that on the funnels of Sealink ships, too.

(Haven't we had this conversation this year already?)

Ah, didn't read closely enough.

That's so they can be seen to be going 'for and aft' ;-))
