Old Pix Brought to the Fore
Top 10 viewed images Welcome to my Transport Archive Gallery Sales from this site
1. Diesel 10001 @ Carpenders Park in colour. Thank you for viewing my gallery of archive images and I hope that you derive as much enjoyment from it as the thousands of viewers thus far.

All images are created from original film material from a steadily growing archive of negatives dating back about 100 years and colour slides from the late 50’s onwards.

At the time of writing this the scanning accent is on trams, trolleybuses and half-cab buses prior to circa 1956 whilst future work will include European & Scandinavian tram systems for the period 1948 – 1957 as well as their railway and metro activities.

If you have a wish list then please feel free to contact me via the options described in the text in the panel to the right of this one.

    London Underground
    Morden on London Transport's Northern tube line was the southern end of the line but proved to be very much so on this grey and inhospitable morning probably in 1968. I learned of the incident because I happened to work in Crown House just across the road and wondered what the kerfuffle was where the road crossed the tunnel mouth. All the shots I took lack sharpness as I was using an unfamiliar camera and all were taken with me balancing on my elbows as, being slightly vertically challenged, I couldn't otherwise see over the parapet.
      
    Electric locos and rolling stock  (39)
    A gleaming 10001 perfectly lit was irresistible. Note that, even at this late stage of BR development, the rake of coaches is all pure LMS.  Archive diesel picures of ex-LMSR 10000 & 10001 in colour & B & W  (30)
    Deutsche Bundesbahn - DB - V300 001, depicted here at Warburg, was a unique variant of the V200 class. Built by Krauss-Maffei it was a six-axle locomotive with considerably enhanced power over its V200 cousins. The loco was scrapped in 1980 after a relatively short and checkered career.  Deutsche Bundesbahn - DB - steam, diesel and electric in the late 60's plus one DR loco.  (30)

    Archive diesel picures of ex-LMSR 10000 & 10001 in colour & B & W
    These two locomotives were introduced with the intention of providing the future motive power on former LMSR metals but were found to be underpowered. They had a stint on the lines out of Waterloo in the early 50's about which I know little although I do remember seeing one.

    They returned to the WCML where they survived for a surprisingly long time despite being non-standard and underpowered. They ended their days mostly on semi-fasts from Euston to Bletchley as depicted in one of the colour images in this collection.
