This photo was taken by my neighbour, Barry Davis, in the summer of 1977.

The working is the 1S35, the 1400 King's Cross-Aberdeen which the Deltic worked to Edinburgh (not an up service from Newcastle as I initially thought - see below).

I must ask him if that is his son on the right, with the shadows of his wife and daughter also visible.

My own collection of photos has some glaring omissions, York being one of them. I went there plenty of times, but usually on my way to somewhere else and time was short or I didn't have my camera.

Anyway, it was a pleasure to scan this slide, well done Barry!

Summer 1979, beautiful weather for the open day!

Great flares, is that you on the right?

This picture was scanned from a handful of slides given to me by my neighbour Barry Davies - thanks. He has a splendid layout.....

Threatening skies over London in 1980 - must be the summer!

62 indicates an Exeter line working, but this service is likely to be heading only as far as Salisbury.

This is one of about a dozen slides given to me by my neighbour, Barry Davies. He took them during the late 1970's and early '80's.

Well done sir!
