    Crewe Works Open Day 1987

    Thanks for checking Peter. Dave, thanks that's a website I haven't seen before, and the loco list agrees in most respects with one of the lists printed in Rail Enthusiast magazine so that helps. There are a couple of interesting anomalies with the webiste list though, it doesn't mention 47405...

    Crewe Works Open Day 1987

    I'm pretty sure it was the only coach in the Works so if you have a coach number in with your works notes that should be it. I guess it was the support coach for Princess Elizabeth or Duke of Gloucester. It's not their current support coach which they appear to have had since about 1993. Thanks...

    Crewe Works Open Day 1987

    Thanks Peter, that could be a big help. I have an issue of Rail Enthusiast from that year which gives a supposed list of exibits, but then on another page in their Works Report section it gives another list for that same day with an additional 8 locos including 37673 and 37416 which I'm pretty...

    Crewe Works Open Day 1987

    I wonder if anyone out there has a list of vehicles present at this Crewe Works Open Day which they would be willing to dig out. I went to the open day which was on 4th July 1987 but no longer have my notes. I would also like to know the identity of the maroon and cream support coach which...

    Fotopic

    Can't even log on to the fotopic website at the moment, says web address could not be found. It's a great pity if that's the end of it, it was a fantastic resource when it worked.

    Class 33 details in BR era?

    Class 33s certainly seem to have had blue stars on the from from very early on, 1965 they had them when the locos were in green with half yellow ends. The Overhead Live Wires plates on the front only appeared from about 1980. A trawl of photos on the net may be able to narrow it down further...

    The Pretendolino thread

    90044 not working passenger today but booked ECS up to Crewe this evening, so I would guess a loco swap is likely. Both 90045 & 90049 at Crewe CS, so one of those would be my guess.
