Mystery Photographs

Another very good response to the last selection of unknown locations.  There were obviously some very easy ones judging from the number of emails, but there are still a number for which we have had no suggestions - I have left these in again in case someone new gets to these pages and can help identify them (or you have done some more research!).   I am putting a few more on for you to have a look at and hopefully you may be able to help in identifying them.  Apologies for the delay in getting some new images on the pages for you - we have been very busy over the last few months and it does take some time to sort out the photographs to test your detective work.  Thanks again you for your help so far. 

You can email your comments/suggestions to mysteryphoto@krm.org.uk

If you want to see previous pictures, and learn where they are (or even to check that the identification is right), then click here.

Here are some more of our unidentified pictures for you to look at:

007 - This picture has defeated even our keenest 'Southern' correspondents.  Please keep trying.  Two possible clues - the owner's grandfather who appears on the photo was a signalman at Barnes Bridge and later a ticket collector at Fareham. Answers please!  There must be someone out there who can tell us where it is.		mc01 - a location somewhere in Scotland c1960, but where is it?
mc02 - loco 64613 or possibly 64618 at an unknown location in Scotland c1960		12521 - unknown signal box protecting a crossing
12527 - the only clue from our point of view is the plate on the signal post which reads SX22		12584 - diesel depot with a distinctive hill behind being one feature that might be recognised?
12591 - we need a signalling specialist for this one - just two levers and some repeaters but hopefully someone will recognise it		13308 - a Hall, 9F and Black 5 provides a diversity of motive power.  Maybe the new buildings at the side of the shed give a clue
13339 - 2-6-2T 6165 at rest at which shed?		15587 - Jubilee 45562 'Alberta' at an unknown station, presumably on a rail tour in the 1960s.
15594 - Black 5 45055 waiting to depart from where?		15742 - A4 60024 'Kingfisher' on the 1.30pm 'Grampian' to Glasgow
15885 - what would class as mass trespassing today and the the brake vans and engine in the distance would point to a 1960s rail tour but where is this ballast siding?		16007 - A4 60019 'Bittern' with 'The Waverley' headboard but under which bridge?
16010 - 0-8-0 49448 in some strange livery in which shed?		16021 - 73050 is double-heading a train and has the shed code 9H painted on the smoke box.  The train code is 1Z77
16029 - A Great Western 4-6-0, but is this 'foreign' territory for it?		16050 - 8F 48652 on a special train.  The headboard reads (clockwise) MRTS (Manchester Rail and Travel Society?) and the train code 1Z77
16053 - Black 5 45154 'Lanarkshire Yeomanry' on an RCTS special		16054 - lots of red enamel station signs about but none with any names on to give us a clue
16074 - no details known about this location, or which working		16070 - a dmu waits to leave which station?
hip10 - an unidentified Midland 2-6-4 tank at an unknown location		16047 - an unidentified class 2 diesel with a ballast train passing a turntable and sidings
11056 - A dmu on a single track, but plenty of landmarks to those who might know the area   We have had suggestions of the Dalmellington area, either Dalmellington itself or Waterside		13394 - The driver of Merchant Navy number 35016 'Elder Fyffes' awaits the tip for departure from which station?  Weymouth has been suggested
13392 - West Country Pacific number 34027 'Taw Valley' outside a distinctive shed, but where?  We have two locations for this - either Exmouth Junction or Feltham but which is it? We now also have Ramsgate as a possibility, but Feltham is now discounted.		15288 - Royal Scot number 46129 'The Scottish Horse' under a coal stage, but at which shed?  It has lost its nameplates which might date the picture.  Crewe North shed has been suggested
85071 - Ex-LNER (GER) D16/3 class 4-4-0 number 62531 on a local passenger train near an unknown station. We have had one suggestion of this being Stowmarket.		85093 - BR "Britannia" class 4-6-2 number 70000 "Britannia" on an express passenger train at an unknown location.
70312 - GWR broad gauge 'Hawthorn' class 2-4-0 named 'Melling'.  There won't be anyone who can remember this engine, but the surroundings might give a clue.		85061 - An ex-LNER (GER) N7 class 0-6-2T on a local passenger train entering a station on the Liverpool Street to Shenfield electrified line. Either Seven Kings or Goodmayes suggested and also the west end of Ilford station
68125 - In the foreground is the trackside equipment of Raven's cab signalling system if that gives a signalling expert a clue.		85060 - An ex-LNER (GER) J15 class 0-6-0 on a freight train proceeding through a station on the Liverpool Street to Shenfield electrified line. Either Seven Kings or Goodmayes suggested
83562 - Ex-LMSR class 5 4-6-0 number 44930 on an express passenger train at an unknown coastal location.  It has been suggested that this location is north of Grange-over-Sands, perhaps Cart Lane or Kents Bank.		85028 - BR "Britannia" class 4-6-2 number 70001 "Lord Hurcomb" heading "The Day Continental" express passenger train at an unknown location on the DC electrified section between Liverpool Street station and Shenfield. A location between Ilford and Goodmayes has been suggested, near Seven Kings
72244 - An ex-LNER B1 class 4-6-0 on an express passenger train at an unknown coastal location passing a signal box.  Passing Loch Leven signal box has been suggested		6482 - A crossing keeper's cottage thought to be on the North Staffs Railway
79433 - An ex-LNER A2/3 class 4-6-2 on a stopping passenger train at an unknown station. The first three coaches are of GER origin. Passing Kelty station has been suggested		79432 - An ex-LNER (NBR) D30 class 4-4-0 on a stopping passenger train at an unknown location possibly in Scotland  Cowdenbeath Junction has been suggested
6325 - an unidentified station		7614 - a bit esoteric maybe, but a North British Railway trespass notice. Maybe the landscape means something to someone
124 - LMS diesel shunter 1831, reputedly worked most of its life at Coventry. Is this where it is?		2063 - 46240 "City of Coventry" but on which shed? Camden shed has been suggested
8823 - K1 2-6-0 no 62046   York, alongside the sugar beet factory, has been suggested		139 - LNWR 4-6-0 number 25775.  We have had Bayston Hill, Shrewsbury suggested and also somewhere between Rugby and Brinklow??
