I do remember the precipitation being variable over there, but largely we caught the weather well. It was glorious on the day we visited Mount Rainier, too.

26D was a Bury allocation. Not there any more. Indeed, according to Wikipedia it's supposed to be on the East Lancashire Railway but it's not there either, it's on the Jacobite Line (Fort William to Mallaig). I've been on it, and while Mallaig is no great shakes the Glenfinnan Viaduct is quite superb.  |

What i was trying to say is that is where it was allocated back in the day. The Loco shed has gone now..
Im not sure at what date exactly it was allocated to 26D as it was allocated to a few different Sheds in it's lifetime up to the late 60's ofc.

Do you recognise any of the Locos shown doing the Jacobite Line in the wiki entry? |

BR Shed Codes were different back when they were private owners, they still kept them with BR Nationalisation but many changed as the region allocations changed. In 1973 BR opted for an Alphabetic System which was easier to use with the TOPS Loco's & Rolling stock management system.. For example Doncaster would have been '36A' but in '73 it would become just 'DN' [That's the Loco Shed not the Engineering Works] all works codes from '73 would start with the letter 'Z' ie Doncaster Works 'ZF', Crewe Works 'ZC' and so on.. My nearest TMD was Tinsley which was built in the mid 60's this was no ordinary TMD it had a giant specially built Marshalling Yard by the side of it. Read here about it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinsley_Marshalling_YardWhat made the place special for me were the three master/Slave class '13' units specially modified from Class '08' shunter to use in this yard. You can read about those here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_13 |

Thanks, Andr'e. Perhaps you should start a photos thread of your loco snaps?
