I wonder what service it was being (presumably) trialled on - Fort William to Banavie Pier, perhaps, or the Fort Augustus branch?Flamingo wrote:The caption came up when I clicked on the image. It said its an LNER railcar, picture taken at Fort William August 1934.
So - did anyone dare tell Stephenson, "It's not Rocket science"?

Uniforms, table cloths from dining carrages to name some items.
There was one in York, but it's long since gone Map it's about the location of that nice curved bit in the middle of the view

Somewhere in the back of my dull brain I recall reading somewhere that the LNER ordered a Karrier road railer lorry for the p-way, similar to the rather more elegant coach version the LMS used for that hotel to the Welcomlbe(?) Hotel. Could this is be it?
A topper is proper if the train's a non-stopper!

York laundry
Hey silver fox do you think they washed antimacassars as well ( i hope i have spelled it correctly). it used to be a pub quiz question what is an antimacassar. No doubt you lot out there will correct the spelling if incorrect.
Hi interested in the area served by 52D. also researching colliery wagonways from same area.

Next to the closed ECML station at Christon Bank is a large semi derilect wooden building that used to be the Christon Bank Steam Laundry. It closed sometime around the start of WW2. It was apparently set-up to provide employment during the depression. Baskets of laundry were brought up by train from the various railway owned hotels on Tyneside, and also from the hotels in Seahouses via the North Sunderland Railway.
