micknich2003 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hi. Mick. I have found one of the Gatehouse from August, 1985. I hope that it might be of some help. I have found that photo's of this crossing at Pighill are very scarce to say the least. img119 - Copy - Copy.jpg With best regards, Rob. Rob, very many thanks, hard to believe it was once a railway building. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 4, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 4, 2016 Hello everyone. Tonight I have a couple of photo's from Seven Section, Hull Dairycoates. They show class B1 61019 Nilghai, in 1967, awaiting scrapping. With regards, Rob. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonseasider Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Another B1 at Dairycoates, but in happier circumstances than Rob's shot. 61289 inside the shed, 3rd November 1963. And a really badly exposed shot of some of the shunters around the open-air turntable. Same date. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonseasider Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Hi Graham I'm really enjoying your pics from Dairycoates in November '63. If, in your collection, you can identify any pics of D6732, I know of a group of people on the North Norfolk Railway who would be really interested to get copies of your pictures! Thanks again and Best Wishes I've checked through my bits of paper but I don't have any photos of that one, at least not identifiable ones. The reason I say that is because it was definitely on Dairycoates on that 3/11/63 visit so it's quite possibly in one of the shots I posted earlier. In fact, it seems that D6730 - 41 inclusive were all there - if only the pictures were clear enough to tell which was which! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
s182ggu Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Thanks for looking, Graham. I also have a personal interest in this loco - during '63 I was spotting on Paragon station and I got to drive D6732 on a shunt release from Platform 1 - I was 13 at the time!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemeg Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Oh but these photos of Dairycoates shed bring the memories flooding back, living in Anlaby as I did then. From the first time I and my youthful mates saw this incredible place - October 1958 - through to the summer of 1966 when the allocation was a mere fraction of its earlier number and when seven section was the last resting place for so many locomotives on their way to Drapers for scrapping. I never did see Dairycoates in all of its original glory, with six turntables under cover in what must have been one of the largest locoshed buildings in the UK, and with an allocation (in 1950) approaching two hundred in number. And the photos of lines, long since closed and removed, serve to remind us of those days of the 1950's when any 'ride on the train' was a thriling experience. Keep em coming, guys, they're just wonderful. Cheers Mike 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 6, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hello, everyone. Tonight I have a photo' from York station taken on 22nd, April, 2010. It shows a Northern Rail class 158, and a Trans Pennine class 185. One of those everyday scenes at York that will very soon be gone.

Derekstuart Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Rob What's changing in York? Station? Operator? Stock? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffP Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 185's going to one of the TOC's from the south? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 6, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 6, 2016 It is the franchises changing to Arriva from Northern, and a lesser change for Trans Pennine. 158's will, presumably, be gone when the new and cascaded units for Arriva's services come in, and new units for the Trans Pennine services will see the 185's gone, if I understand things correctly. Please correct me if I have got anything wrong. York station will continue as always, thankfully, and we can continue to enjoy visiting and using it as always. With regards, Rob.

SwissRailPassion Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) 158s to stay and some 185s. Just the Pacers and some 150s will go. The new stock for Northern will be announced soon but the bets are on CAF of Spain. Edited January 6, 2016 by SwissRailPassion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 7, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2016 Mick, you have found and posted a real gem of a photo there. Thank you. It is a view of Warthill which I have not seen before, and it clearly shows the then new lifting barriers. A great photo for possibly making a model of the crossing at that time period. I just hope that no trains were due at the time of the photo! With best regards, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold russ p Posted January 7, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hi Mick, happy new year and all that. Were the warthill barriers unique or was there others elsewhere Cheers Russ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micknich2003 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Russ, the Warthill barriers were unique for some years, before they could be used elsewhere the law had to be changed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 7, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hello, everyone. Tonight I have a photo' of the line between Bridlington and Filey in the cutting which has three over bridges in it, and is nicknamed 'Three Bridges Cutting'. It was taken from the front of a DMU in April, 1987. With regards, Rob. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium uax6 Posted January 8, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2016 Those barrier arms are certainly heafty bits of kit! Presumeably they are steel or aluminuim taper tubes? Also looking at the pedistals there doesn't appear to be any equipment other than the pivot, so how did they actually work? And they are also hung the wrong way round as well, coming down on the exit side of the road first, barriers these days are hung the otherway round, so that the entrance side (ie the left hand side of the road) is closed first, to allow anyone on the crossing to get off it. Fascinating! Andy G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micknich2003 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Andy, they were mechanically worked from the existing Gate Wheel. This practise was later adopted by the N E Region, and I know of two surviving installations, and both in the Hull Area, Cave Crossing and Oxmadike, these are both between Brough and Gilberdyke. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold russ p Posted January 8, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2016 They aren't the same design are they Mick? Nunthorpe still has mechanical barriers but they don't look like that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted January 8, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2016 What was the law? Thanks steve Level crossing gates, when opened for road traffic, were required to permanently fence the railway; first enacted in the 1842 Regulation of Railways Act, Section 9.
