Trains from Tyne Dock

I knew I had a copy somewhere! A rummage in the loft and here is that ARGO EP.



Published in 1967 before the Peter Handford  recordings were merged into DECCA, this wonderful 45rpm audio recording features J94s and N10s on banking duties, Q6s and Q7s propelling empties and the assault on the 1 in 40 climb out of Tyne Dock by 9Fs 92097 and 92065, each with nine 56 ton loaded hoppers in tow. Magic! The photo on the record sleeve features 92061 and just look at those NER signal gantries.

No such gradients on New Mills but our example will still look the part.
