Prototype A day out in Scarborough

[Rob R]

The first batch of photos seem to have gone down quite well, so here are a few more. If the "Management" are happy I'll do a seperate thread for each batch as they are neatly geographically contained and it will save you scrolling through to find your favourite. "Days out " to come include Leeds, Liverpool, Gorton and Wolverhampton.
For the technical minded, I'm scanning these as 600dpi colour scans on my trusty Canon C3180 Printer/Scanner into good old MS Paint running on Windows 7. Yes, I know. There are better ways of doing it but that is all I have got.
As before, I have assumed copyright. WT'ers are welcome to use as they like for personal use. If you want to post elsewhere/ publish please drop me a line and I'll try to do a better scan.

It is the 25th June 1938 so off to Scarborough Fair.........


NER class R, LNER D20 1147


1147 again. Looks like someone dropped it getting it out of the box.....


NER class Q, LNER D17/2 1902


1902 again


1902 obliges yet again


NER class R1, LNER D21 1244


NER class M, LNER D17/1 1629

A5 1767. A proper modellers shot! Built Hawthorn Leslie 1925

That's all for todays day out.

If anyone needs a better scan just shout and I'll have a go.

Thanks, the pic of the A5 is especially useful.

If just one photo helps with a model then it has all been worthwhile

Hi Rob,

I would appreciate better scans (if you are able) of the Q class - again having both sides will help with my Gladiator kit when I get to it.

Many thanks.

 

[Rob R]

Will do Rob.
Might be a week or so..

[Rob Pulham]

Thanks Rob,

No rush

Can I also add a plea that you post full size images. It is a PITA to keep switching between gallery view for the photos and back to the thread for the narrative description.

Thanks

Dave

 

[Rob R]

Noted.

Noted.

And after a quick bit of teach yourself BB Code 'tis now sorted (Whitby Thread as well).

Thanks Rob. That’s so much more site-friendly! No knowledge of B.B. code is required. I’ll sit back and let Adrian explain!
Cheers
Dave

Hi Dave. Full size images are easy enough when doing a new post even for me. The only way I could find to convert thumbnails to full size on an existing thread was to add " =full " into the code for each image. They are all done now anyway.

For Rob.

NER Q class 1902 at 1200dpi and cropped a bit.





Another day out by the seaside soon.
