Found this graveyard full of old carriages and engines on the way back from the Get Carter Carpark visit in Gateshead.

I love all things rail and after finding my way in, I was in heaven :)

Loads of stuff here dating back to the British Rail days of old. This is however a dangerous site full of sharp metal spikes and rotten floors...be careful if you visit.

Hope you enjoy......KingElvis

good work, really love the extent of the decomposition of some of the carriages. do you have any pictures of the 'cockpit'??? of the train?
 
Superb photo's. Love the one with the ferns growing through the carraige floor. I remember going aroung Dai Llewellyns breakers yard in Barry in the early 80's and I didn't have a camera ~ such a shame as there were so really great pictures to to be had.
 
Looks like 47540 is making a bid to return to her original body colour livery of Green which is the colour she was when released to traffic 17/3/64 as D1723.
 
Awesome stuff Elvis. I love the old railway stuff too. I remember those mark 2 coaches were considered luxury travel in there day, Great pics with the weeds in there.. I might have to get the location off you for this one mate. I fancy it myself. :mrgreen:
 
These look fantastic!Theres not even any graf in the carriges!
I've always wanted to do a shoot inside old untouched carriges.
