Cheers Guys for your help, much appreciated and thank you. Kind regards Albert

Cheers Eastwestdivide, just out of curiosity were you at York at the Western Finale tour on 12th Feb 1977 and have a log for that day or even be on its route and seen anything that might of been heading for York on that day. I don't have any logs from that day anymore, lost many moons ago...

Correct, eastwestdivide . I will edit that now. Thanks for pointing that out. Can I add another question was E50163 or SC50163 in 1977. In the 1981 Motive power combined volume for 1981 Ian Allen, that has it as SC50163.

Could it be this one, I have 51559 Class 111 DMCL Neville Hill based on its own separated by a diesel number from those first five numbers

Does anyone have any old logs from York in the late 70's preferably around 1977, if not any year around this date, that show DMU sets at York. Searching some old logs. I came across this configuration and want to know if this is the correct configuration or not. Maybe they are two separate...

Thanks Guys, I think that answers my question with few interesting snippets in between. much appreciated Albert

Could some kind person fresh my very old memory. Does anyone have any info on what HST services where running in and out of Bristol Temple Meads in Feb 1977 or is my memory playing tricks on me and they only operated out of Parkway in Feb 1977. regards Albert

Well Guys and those still living, I am 50 next January and the memory has finally awoken. It looks like I was out on the year for some of my further a field trips, instead of 1976. They where in 1977. I have three interesting dates from 1977 I am looking for. I am more than sure these where the...

I suppose a lot of the old spotters are in the great loco shed in the sky. I am not back spotting just yet! 1. Because I am having to be a nurse to my wife, who badly broke her ankle out walking in Castleton three weeks ago and won't recover for a few months yet. So I am in charge, cooking...

Hi, Is there anyone on the forum, who has any old logs from their note books that survive from 1976 of any locos, DMU's or EMU's from any of these places:- Piccadilly Station and Victoria stations Manchester, Longsight depot, York Station, Bristol Temple meads station, Newcastle station...

I have read on a another group somewhere that they are hard to contact. They haven't the staff to answer all the entusiasts questions. I have sent emails to The East Lancashire Railway Preservation Society at this address: membership@elrps.org.uk. Also this address: enquire@east-lancs-rly.co.uk...

A couple of questions on what was at the East Lancashire Railway on the Bank holiday Monday of the 3rd May 1999 and Monday 26th May 2003. Traveled from Rawtenstall to Bury and back each time. All I have of 1999 trip is a leaflet and two tickets. Would anyone have a log from each of those days or...

Does anyone have a photo of class 04 102 (63601) around 1976 at Longsight depot on its stop over to Dinting. A longshot I know. I was 14 years old then and didn't have a camera. regards Albert
