I have a photo of the station circa 1925 and it would make superb model. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
waggy Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Hello, everyone. And thank you for your contributions, especially PinzaC55 for the photo' and signalling diagram of Ganton, which a few years ago I cycled through as part of a cycle tour to the North York Moors and back. Tonight we are looking at the former signal box at Warthill on the one time railway to Market Weighton from York. The photo' was taken in mid-August of this year, and shows that the box is in a fairly good condition, complete with burglar alarm! 100_6757 - Copy.JPG With regards, Rob. If it's the box i'm thinking of the last time i went past the lower half was been used as garage. I always thought what a great modelling room the upper part would make.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted December 8, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 8, 2015 Hi, waggy. It is near to York. The LC it worked became the very first on BR to get barriers. I think the year was 1952, but I've a feeling it may have been two years later. A great modelling room, but for all that glazing. Hot in summer, and cold in winter. Perhaps air conditioning is the answer? With regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearer to York was Castle Howard - possibly the most extreme example of railways catering to the nobility !

micknich2003 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Warthill, barriers, here's a page from the January 1953 North Eastern Region staff magazine, the work would have been carried out in late 1952. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted December 8, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Thank you, PinzC55. That is such a lovely photo' of the former Castle Howard station. And I also seem to recall the summer of '77 being particularly dull, and dank. You must have been really lucky with the weather that day! With regards, Rob. P.S. Thank you, Mick for reproducing that article about the crossing at Warthill. It is very useful. It appears to confrim my original thoughts about the year being 1952.

That's funny I remember the summer of 77 as being sizzling ! I went out to walk Market Weighton - Driffield but at the time I had really bad hayfever and I got in such a state just past Enthorpe that I had to go home with tears streaming down my face. BTW you can see the Warthill barriers and lights in the Market Weighton demolition train video linked to earlier.

BTW you can see the Warthill barriers and lights in the Market Weighton demolition train video linked to earlier. That is interesting. The summer of '77 has gone down in the history books as quite cloudy, cool and unremarkable! That day you went for that walk must have been one of the exceptions. 1976 was the long hot one, and 1975 was not too far behind! Another interest I have is the weather.

steve1 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Re Warthill crossing. Interesting that such a 'modern' style crossing is actually that old! Given an up-to-date modeller's licence, it means one could be used at any time in a post 1952 setting. steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted December 12, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 12, 2015 Thank you, Mick. Those latest two photo's are very interesting, and it is particularly good to see the H&BRly class F3 0-6-2T number 15. A good looking engine. Tonight, I have two photo's. They are of the railway from York to Beverley near to York. The first one is of Warthill, and the second one is just up the line at Crosslands Lane LC. Here just the Gate Keeper's cottages have survived. Both photo's were taken in the summer of 1993. With regards, Rob. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOCJACOB Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Couple of extra images relevant to an earlier post but I'd struggled to find.
