Re: Some more location questions
It doesn't look like anywhere on the GN main line between Kings Cross & Doncaster so i hazzard a guess and go for maybe on the outskirts of Leeds??.
Re: Some more location questions
Only a guess but could it be on the GC, as A3s were used on there in the '50s?

Re: Some more location questions
You could well be correct about the GC as 60050 was ,at various times , based at Neasden(34E) pre 1956.

Re: Some more location questions
I don't recognise it as GC either. The train does not look very GC.
The shedplate is not really readable, but seems to begin with a 2, which does not fit known allocations for this engine. The tender has the early BR emblem, which probably dates the photo to prior to its general overhaul towards the end of 1957.
There seems to be a line climbing up in the left background and lots of signals in the distance. See below.

Re: Some more location questions
All I can add is that she looks to have 12 or 13 coaches on. From distant memory, and from scant visits to Marylebone, 9 or 10 seemed to be the max. on the GC.
Re: Some more location questions
Perhaps it is Leeds-ish then, as Micky suggests

If it is around Leeds that was just a guess on my part guy's.Pennine MC wrote:Perhaps it is Leeds-ish then, as Micky suggests
I reckon the photographer is either standing with his back to a s/box or there's a s/box close by on the opposite side of the line?.
Re: Some more location questions
Nonsense posted, and removed.
Well not quite, 60050 did have a round dome 94HP boiler between 3/1956 and 10/1957, with banjo varieties before and after those dates in the 1950s.
The loco was on the GC section for 3 months with the round dome boiler, after that on the GN.

Yes, it is a pressure-ventilated one - there are two more with the valances further down the train.JASd17 wrote:This the third vehicle a Diagram 346 brake third built for the Flying Scotsman sets?

The train does not look to be GC in character although the line did have a few of the PV carriages.

Re: Some more location questions
I have received a suggestion that the train is heading away from Doncaster on the line towards Gainsborough and Lincoln.

Re: Some more location questions
That would suggest Bessacarr Junction and crossing as the location. Certainly fits the maps, excepting the line going off to the extreme LHS. Is that a trailing turnout coming in under the loco?

Bessacarr Jc. seems to fit in with this photograph: https://www.flickr.com/photos/johnmight ... nmightycat.
