More Old Pictures.....

[ArtyP]

I've previously posted some pics from my late Dads archive, here are a few more......

A rather eclectic mix this time

From the notes on the picture the 25 & 37 were both "dead" the 20 must have made quite a noise coming into Wolverhampton?

No notes for 10800, any idea where?

I'm yet to explore the boxes of slides..........

10800 - I think it's Birmingham New Street before they ruinied it.

10800, bit of a rare beast. Good to see the secondman has the boiler under control.

 

[Trackman]

10800 - I think it's Birmingham New Street before they ruinied it.

Seconded, looks like New Street

Agreed, probably in 1955 to 1958. (There is an undated photo in the RCTS book on LMS diesels that was probably taken on the same occasion.)

Fourthed on the 10800 pic being at New St.

Have seen pics of another of the early diesels (I think either one of the Ivatt Twins or one of the Bulleid Trio) from around the period @Gloster mentions at a very similar looking location, very likely it's the one he mentions as being in the RCTS book.
