MEMBERS' GALLERY


Some Random locations - remembered by Charlie Hulme




Weymouth Quay, 1970s - I have always been fascinated by street-running.  The class 33 is piloted by the car with the flashing light.



Chinley 1960s.  One of my better images from that era, I think.



Glenfinnan, 1987;  Class 37/4s were in charge.



Minffordd, 1990.  The best trains that 'Regional Railways Central' could muster for the long journey.  150 149 works for Northern in 2024 like all his 49 sisters.



Reddish South, 1981. At the time there was still a regular service connecting with trans-pennine trains at Stalybridge.  The tank wagons on the right were in the Standard Wagon Works, served by a daily trip which also serviced the Stockport coal drops.



Royal Oak Underground station, 1970 amid A40 road construction. Note the 'shunter's truck' still in use with the class 08. At the time I was a student living in London, not far from this station from which one could watch the expresses in and out of Paddington. I was more interested in the shunting!



Shanklin, Isle of Wight,  1984.  Ex-London Transport 'Standard Stock'.



Sheffield Victoria, 1966. Taken on a visit to Sheffield University to see if they would have me.  In the end, I chose the bright lights of London.
