Haven't come across these pics before: http://www.drehscheibe-foren.de/foren/read.php?17,4175312

Some great shots of various motive power- and may open the 'What colour brown for 071's' debate again!

Some nice stuff there, particularly the shot of 050 unloading the new concrete trunking in the days of when trains hauled such things, nowadays a lot comes by road!

Fantastic set of photos from around the country, bringing back memories of an era now sadly gone. Great find and thanks for posting the link Dave.

I agree Eiretrains, the train with the trunking would be a most interesting train to model. On that subject, I love freight, and I am amazed at the weird and wonderful images this site has thrown up over the last couple of years. The 10 to 15 years around the introduction of the 001s and C201s makes for some fantastic and unusual consists- I'm surprised it is not modelled more. I guess it's a period that not many of us remember, and would require a lot of scratch building and ingenuity on behalf of the modeller!

 

It's a period that site member Patrick (down in NZ? Oz?) has captured really well- I'd love to see his take on some of the wagons and consists pictured!

THE GOLDEN DAYS

[dave182]

Here's a link to yet another set of pictures I've never seen before, with some great shots of rarely photographed PW machines for Heirflick, some great reference picture for anyone building the SSM inspection car at the moment, and a most unusual bogie tank wagon, possibly an early weedspray rake? (just a guess)
