Might be able to scan the negs, but they were shot on Ricoh, so not allowed?


I don't think anybody would mind Peter, Three of the above shots are with a Cosina and the last one was taken with a Halina paulette. Great links btw.

Peter thats a great find thanks for posting the link.

Andrew I know Whiston is at Foxfield as it was featured on "Trainspotting" (sky tv), didn't know about Robert though!. Have you spotted it yet btw?

Yes Robert seemed to in the best condition out of the three of them. Did you ever see them working Peter?.

Hi Peter, Yes Bold is just down the rd from Collins Green towards St Helens Junction. There where three 060 saddle tanks based there, Whiston,Joseph and Robert, I believe all three are now in preservation with various society`s. One of them was part of the cavalcade at Rainhill but cant remember which tbh, I do have some good images from the event but I hadn't taken a shot of which ever one it was!, if I remember correctly I ran short of film

All the images are a bit faded now and have been revamped in PSP, I think I used the Orange filter for the Jubilee!.

Thanks for looking guys.

Seeing all the great steam train images on here recently has been a bit of a nostalgia trip for me so today I decided to dig out some of my photographs from yesteryear and have a go at scanning a few.

The first two images are a pair of 060 saddle tanks that worked at Bold colliery up to the early 1980`s.

Four in here

Swap you a few of my Pigeons for some of your Goldfinches Ken lovely colours on them this time of year..........honest

Thats much better Andrew, more detail visible now on my screen.

Dont worry about people getting fed up with your images, I think photography as good as this will always be welcome here.

Agree with Kris "waiting for the road" is a lovely shot Andrew along with the 9F at Bishop`s Lydeard station. The Duke is just a little dark for me, perhaps a revamp!......please.
