Reviving this thread, as I know there are a few veterans of the south end of the ECML who read this forum. Tony Wright has posted a number of photos for identification on RMWeb here.

I'll point him to this thread, so anyone who doesn't have an account on RMWeb can post here.

I can certainly add to Mickey's list, jwealleans, though I don't have all the answers, but sorry don't have the time at this moment. Hope to get back to this later.

Photo 17. Looks vaguely like the long reverse curve between Redhall & Hatfield on the GN main line?.

Photo 1. Looks like it could be a LMS scene on either the MR or LNWR and in fact the loco is a LNWR loco.

In photo 2 that looks like a GE station. It must be London suburbs and there's surely enough in the picture for someone to identify the location.

Photo 8B in Tony's list is south of Potters Bar, Mutton/Darkes Lane (?) bridge after widening.

I think 8C is the same place.

11A and B are the same bridge to the south of Hatfield.

I hope no one minds me hi-jacking this thread occasionally, with images of my own.

I have acquired some 'ropey' negatives, some of which are from NE England towards the end of steam - probably 1966.

Some could benefit from a good clean, and I must dig out my PEC-12 solution, but this is an initial scan,
Scan-170429-0004.jpg

Any thoughts as to where this is.

initial thoughts have me thinking South Blyth, Blaydon or Hartlepools 52A is your man to answer this.

I have done some work on this and it has scrubbed up quite well.

I would say 62002 is on North Blyth.

Thanks 52A.

I did wonder if 90011 was Sunderland.

Tony Wright has asked me to thank on his behalf those who have posted locations for his photos. I believe these will be published in BRILL in due course.
