  1. Are the harvesters in an adjacent field? Whilst working on RMDRC’s Aylesbury Town, we turned up photos of harvesters arriving from Felixstowe on lowmacs, unloaded through the station end dock for delivery to the New Holland plant. These look like they’d be out of gauge.
  2. It’s been a while since I checked in on this thread, so please forgive the question. What was at (or near) Hedon to attract the Presflos? Ta Chris
  3. Some time ago, there was discussion around Royal Train visits to Hull. This snippet from the RAF Association magazine hints at an overnight stop by George VI near Willerby (Willoughby). Any detail to add to it?
  4. That Sand Van was in the yard through the 80s. It was often the casualty of some overly zealous shunting, as I remember seeing it at 45 degrees to the horizontal, sat on the buffer stops a few times. I presume it was cut up on site when the yard was cleared for sell off. Never saw it move from that spot, and the proximity to the loco stabling roads would support its use as a store for the loco sand. There were a few instances of enthusiastic shunting at BG: every now and then something in the sidings which were the old Hornsea/Withernsea lines would get pushed across the crossing over Spring Bank towards the old Botanic Gardens Station. Trouble was, the lines had been lifted a decade before. Headline stuff in the Hull Daily Mail!
