Spent a couple of hours at the Museum & filmed the bus in operation. I know nothing about buses but a search tells me it’s a GEA174 Daimler CVG6 with Weymann bodywork. Other vehicles seen were B900TFO, MXX340 and 6342HA – brief details with photos.

Another old slide IOMR 2-4-0T no. 4. About 1974?

Leave a reply

Not sure of the exact year, but there was a rumour the railway was about to close & as I’d never been to the Isle of Man before I decided to head across there – caught train from Birmingham on Saturday morning after a night shift, booked bed & breakfast in Douglas & returned on Sunday. I have found about 12 slides, not sure if I have any other photos from that visit.

Started scanning old slides, first one – a Spanish 2-8-2

Leave a reply

It’s 2023, perhaps I should try posting in the blog again. How often, who knows!!

I’ve found all sorts of old slides from years ago, quite a few railway ones, but many others that won’t interest you, such as family ones. The Spanish railway slides are a bit of a jumble, no idea where many of them were taken but they are interesting to see. What else turns up, you’ll have to wait & see…….

2-8-0 2259 at Brighouse and Halifax Model Engineers track

It had been such a long time since I last visited Ravensprings Park that when I started scanning some old photos from there I couldn’t remember where I had taken them. As I scanned more photos I began to remember the layout of the site and a quick search confirmed the location. I must try & visit again sometime.
