Yes South Gosforth a couple of weeks ago, battery electric locos used on engineers trains.

Well done!

yep, the building has recently been cladded. The pic was taken on the scarborough flyer from norwich to scarborough (60009) on 12th july 2008

second building was taken on the same trip, its turntable has links with the NVR

Melton constable survives but neither are melton constable.
Unfortuantly norwich was demolished in 1991 i think and is now the site of Morrisons in Norwich.

My username is nothing to do with a Loco, my name is Mr Dace and my nearest large shed would of been Norwich (32A)

Thought you might be interested to learn that jpeg 11 on page 4 of this thread i think, has turned out not to be in Scotland at all but at Coxhoe in the Newcastle area. It turned up whilst browsing new books.

Now theres just some more to go.

Thanks to all who have given suggestions on the locations

Kind regards

Duncan

I shall be surprised if anyone guesses this one but no doubt someone will prove me wrong - again.

Is it a still open station?

I am going to go for a blind guess and say somewhere in Scotland.

Yes the line and station are still in daily use but all the buildings in the pic are gone.

No not Scotland.

somewhere in Yorkshire?, If it is I may dig out my railway in yorkshire book

plus anyone know where this goods shed is (east Anglia, station in use)

Still no idea on the first station but is the goods shed Wymondham?

redtoon1892 · Post by **redtoon1892** » Wed Jan 07, 2009 7:19 pm

No not in Yorkshire, but at least 6 passenger pick ups an hour in both directions are made at this station daily plus freight traffic on weekdays, I would say that was pretty busy.

Hello Redtoon,

Is is perhaps Hebburn (on Tyne), in (very) pre-Metro times. Thank you very much for the information on Gateshead East.

Regards,
Jonathan

correct

still no idea of the station.

redtoon1892 · Post by **redtoon1892** » Thu Jan 08, 2009 1:19 am

It is pre Metro Hebburn.

It is deep in NER territory I think. But as to the name I still am not sure. A mill/mining town.
