I note all the 'Unknown location' photos, except the two above, now seem to have locations in their captions (on which I agree), so I presume these have been answered since you posted them.

'p64032669' : Just a hunch; from looking at the type of shunt disc signal and the point machine (and the little flat-roofed brick hut ?), I wonder;- - also at Doncaster?

Thanks for remainder of locations, yes the others were identified quite early

60125 photo 32660 - this looks like a location that came up in the A3 pictures, the general consensus was between Potters Bar and Brookmans Park.

60129 photo 32679 - New Southgate

60133 photo 32664 - Finsbury Park?

60142 Edward Fletcher 32663.html

The loco in photo 32663 appears to have a nameplate with a crest, if so it would not be Edward Fletcher.

I remember 60142 was a regular performer from Edinburgh on the Southbound Flying Scotsman during one early 1950's summer,usually in pristine condition although it wasn't a Haymarket engine.

I know this is already identified as Finsbury Park (actually on one of the Fast lines), but in case of interest, from the AWS just peeping in at the bottom, Curlew must be on the Down Fast (Plat.5).

I agree heartwholedly with all three.

32660 - not very far south of Hawkshead bridge, heading north, I reckon.
32679 - about 300 yards north of N.S. station on the Down Fast
32664 - Definitely FP (on the DF). The roof above the loco is that of No.3 signal box.

Yes. A number '4' is reasonably clear in the right position on the smokebox door plate, so being a crested nameplate and the only one in the 6014* segment, it can only be 60147 North Eastern.

And before anyone else gets in, it (North Eastern) has to be a Gateshead loco because of the external condition.
Hi interested in the area served by 52D. also researching colliery wagonways from same area.
