  1. Wow 60 years, my first visit was in August 1967 as a 13 year old, I remember a roundy roundy layout in the room which is now the stock room up the small flight of stairs. It was my first visit to York and I remember seeing my first Deltic at the station it was so busy and started many train spotting trips in the late 60's and early 70's. My next visit to Monk Bar was in 1976 when I moved to York with work I hate to think how much I've spent there over the years. looking forward to going during the anniversary week
  2. I see they have a stall at the BRM show in Doncaster next month
  3. A Class 06 Diesel Shunter, I don't need one but I can't believe no one has done a decent one .
  4. I remember exploring the platforms whist changing trains after a day spotting at York in the late 60's early 70's, there was quite often a couple of open wagons in one of the platforms, labelled to work between Scarborough Station and Barlow Tip, i had no idea where it was back in those days and now 50 or so years later i live about 5 miles from Barlow Tip. Which is now a nature reserve created by covering the tip in thousands of tons of soil after asbestos had been found, thought to have originated from York Carriage Works. One wonders what is buried there, a good friend of mine who knew an ex Selby driver told him when Selby Shed closed in 1959 everything went in open wagons to the tip.
  5. I'm sure I've heard somewhere that this signal box is preserved at Murton on the Derwent Valley Line, can anyone confirm this ?
  6. Thanks micklner, now ordered A1/A3 chimney from Brassmasters. Regards. Graham
  7. Please get in touch if you have one, don't mind paying a bit more for a damaged Bachmann V2 body providing the chimney is ok.
  8. Now Sorted Thank you to all who replied. Graham
  9. Great picture of a line that should never have been closed, slight error in your calculation Rob, should be 56 Years not 61. Graham
  10. Steve. The station at Cliffe was actually named Hemingbrough, probably to avoid confusion with Cliffe Common or possibly because Hemingbrough was a bigger village , there are some photographs of the station on Ebay looking at them it would seem that it was in fact a small station Regards Graham
  11. By tilting the angle of my laptop screen and using my magnlfying glass I'm getting 65859. Information on BR Database site is confusing York engine yet in store at Thornaby 09/09/63. Picture on Rail-online shows it at Winning in 1966 and Shed Bash UK has it on South Blyth Shed on 9th July 1966
  12. Excellent service from them, I ordered 4 of the new Parkside PC90 Hopper wagon kits from them last week and they arrived the following day and free postage.
  13. I seem to recall a model shop in Leeds in the 70's in one of the Arcades , Empire Arcade ?
  14. Hi Rob. What a cracking photo of Royal Oak South, what's weird is I drove past this location yesterday evening after a day at the coast and pointed out to my other half that a lad I went to school with lived in one of the semi's that backed onto the embankment near to the junction, thinking about it last night I remembered i went to his house circa 1968/69 and saw a Brush 4 on a day excursion to Scarborough. Regards. Graham
