micknich2003 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Didn't a lot of these have piano type front ends? Possibly, when later fitted with ex Q10 boilers, I would have to check. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Marshall Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) Possibly, when later fitted with ex Q10 boilers, I would have to check. Mick, I've looked at the 12 illustrations in RCTS Part 6C (3 of these with Q10 boilers) and none of the 12 appear to have the "piano front" cover over the top of the frames. There is no mention of any such variation in the text, as far as I can see. Another great picture - thanks.

Blackthorn Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Boris, many engines got for a sort time the prefix "E" ex LNERly, "M" ex LMSRly, "S" ex Southern Rly and pressumably "W" ex GWRly. I'm not sure that happened on ex GW locomotives as their numbering system never changed with the formation of British Railways. I believe they weren't renumbered because of their cast number plates, but they of course had to fit the smokebox number plates. I really like the thread even though I'm not very familiar with the area. Mark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougN Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Q6, 21 June 1931. Dairycoates. Q6 2220 Dairycoates 21 June 1931.jpg This is a really interesting photo. I built a Dave Bradwell kit a number of years ago so the variations in things pop out at me. The interesting things are:no reinforcing strip to the front foot step Fog operation gear under the cab. (I think that is what it is) Not sure if the tender axle box covers are a different colour or it is a photo lighting change the location of the lubricator high on the splasher I can't remember if it is a Dia 51 or 51a boiler. there is the twin whistle on the front of the cab/ top of boiler. Sandwich bufferbeams (ie steel/ timber/ steel) on the loco The cut off coal rails. - Not my favorite style as I thought it was a bit too utilitarian.... but I like the full coal rails but the down sweep version is starting to become attractive to me! thanks for sharing as the photos such as this are invaluable due to the detail that can be gleaned from it !

RMweb Premium 31A Posted November 28, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 28, 2017 Tender axle boxes maybe shiny with oil? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Marshall Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Doug, That's a diagram 50 boiler. Diagram 50A boilers were introduced in 1938 and can be distinguished by the position of the dome - on these boilers it was positioned between the 3rd and 4th boiler bands (counting the smokebox joint as the first). You can see what I mean on this shot of 63395 (apologies, if I've posted this before!). Regards, Roy 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
60091 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Has anyone a picture of the pair of 68's on a Carlisle to Hedon Road working yesterday Just seen this post so sorry for the late reply. A long way from East Yorkshire, here they are passing Hexham. Having taken the photo I was caught out by the service being top and tailed so didn't get the number of the rear loco. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted December 17, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 17, 2017 Hi, everyone. Firstly a further thank you to Mick for posting those superb photo's which add so much to this thread. Tonight I have a photo' of the first bridge carrying the Bridlington to Seamer railway over a roadway at the village boundary at Hunmanby. The photo' was taken in the summer of 2009. The bridge has since been renewed by Network Rail with a modern design which is typical for the present day era. The bridge in the photo was steel girders with the rails carried on wood beams. Best regards, Rob. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micknich2003 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Has Rob has correctly illustrated there is far more to railways then "Engines". Attached another bridge view, H&BRly Bridge No1 over Hedon Road Hull, c1910. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Has Rob has correctly illustrated there is far more to railways then "Engines". Attached another bridge view, H&BRly Bridge No1 over Hedon Road Hull, c1910. I like that, lots of period details. Although I suspect if you put that many adverts on your model bridge abutment there would be cries of heresy! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir douglas Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 is it just the perspective that it looks like there isnt much head room between the top deck and the bridge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micknich2003 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 is it just the perspective that it looks like there isnt much head room between the top deck and the bridge It's a trick of the camera, plenty of headroom, and in later years fully covered cars ran on this route.
