DOCJACOB Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 Early in this thread I probably mentioned an image of a 45 in scrap line I had. Oddly looking for something else and 4 random pictures turned up. Pretty sure this is pretty much the last 1/91 Immingham Depot 47.402 adjacent to 37.251 Immingham Depot 31.309 next to 47.417 26/8/89 Immingham Depot 47.413 Immingham Depot 45.130 (looking very sad at end of scrap line, at this time she was visible from the road hence my original reason to gain access with appropriate permission/supervision) 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCJACOB Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 Working from home for part of the day today and found some images i don't think I put on this thread from years ago. No idea why I was out there on 8/7/96 (looks nice day though and didn't record numbers either but must have been a reasonable time as 2 iron ore trains in the same set of images 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCJACOB Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 Now we move to 20/8/90 and appears I made a better effort this time. Still nearly 3 years till the station was finally closed apparently. 47.281 with what look like empty container flats 47.225 with 1 van I have this down as a class 108 DMU but I'm sure someone will know much better than me 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCJACOB Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 Rather surprised at the amount I seem to have uncovered today. Aside from quite a few pictures I also discovered a lost 7mm J37 kit and plans for wooden 1/12 Filey cobble. This random bunch appear to have been taken in later 1/2 of 1989 and include 2 images of 37/7's that I think were in Grimsby/Immingham area only for a very short period of time? All taken at Brocklesby 3/11/89 37.708 and 37.707 4/9/89 37.708 light locomotive 24/8/89 37.372 and 37.225 empty ore 4/9/89 37.351 and 37.106 full ore 4/9/89 31.238 and 31.185 4/9/89 56.096 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCJACOB Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 This is the only time I recall seeing anything other than a pair of 20's on this working. 56.061 was doing the needful on 15/6/93 Image as she leaves Grimsby Docks and then again held at Great Coates 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCJACOB Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Slightly different take at Brocklesby in 3/91. Took a dirt track to stand opposite the old goods yard. The current layout is markedly different, here we have 4 tracks (only 2 in use) and a covered over ground signal. 47.417 is the closer shot 47.226 Seagull 31.156/31.126 47.310 Random DMU that I probably photographed just because something was signalled about the time I was about to leave 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCJACOB Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Further move for a change of scenery and this is Melton Ross 3/8/90 mainly 37.107 Fury 47.374/47.379 47.276 on a hefty oil train 31.168/31/203 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCJACOB Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 Amazing whats turning up in the games room, now 3 Highfield vacuum plastic kits and 6 class 56 images fell out of a book. In true form most have no I/D but obviously taken at my usual haunts. 56.072 Brocklesby 6/91 Barnetby before seriously rebuilt Barnetby (suspicious taken same day as previous image) Brocklesby after track changes but interesting as coming from Grimsby direction 56.126 obviously but no idea when, suspicious may be near time platform access was stopped 56.113 no idea when but probably not that long ago. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RP82 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 The Dutch 56 is 031, the grey patch in the centre of the bodyside between the yellow and dark grey is where its name plate was. Haven't a clue about the 56 coming from the Grimsby direction. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCJACOB Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) A bit of a mixed bag today. Firstly a selection from 6/92 at Brocklesby, two random from Cleethorpes Suggits Lane circa 8/92 and finally 2 of a surprise spot of unidentified Class 66 on waste from Tioxide. I don't think this working lasted long and Tioxide factory is now part of local history as long gone. Brocklesby 56.087 unidentified 47 Ballast Tamper unidentified 37 (suspect will be loaded stainless steel coils return working) 37.884 ex Grimsby (suspect had stainless steel billets delivered to Grimsby and now empty return) Edited March 31, 2020 by DOCJACOB extra detail 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCJACOB Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) Firstly a couple from 7/96. Usual trick of no I/D but obvious on Load Haul 60 anyones guess on the 56 though Then a selection from a few days in murky February 1992. Think I was but lucky of the 37's front as by now the 60's were beginning to take over. 60.049 empty ore 60.067 oil 37.255 and 37.377 full ore 37.128 and 37.302 oil 37.128 light PS Apologies website filing is odd and randomly moved the order!

DOCJACOB Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 A few more but from Barnetby this time (from vantage spots that are impossible now) and the later part of 1990 Last one made me feel rather at home as an ex Scot and an interest in NBR 37.098 with 31.199 and 47.033 in tow 37.258 47.402 31.207 and 31.288 150:143 37.004 and 37.106 37.408 Loch Rannoch taking a less common path through Barnetby, this line was controlled by rather spendid lattice post signal too. The siding behind was occasionally used as stabling point by 60009 Union of South Africa I think. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCJACOB Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 Few more and managed to possibly excel this time. The images marked 20/2/92 are fascinating especially if correct as the Class 20's are at Melton Ross heading to Grimsby on stainless billets and the Class 31 which I've apparantly recorded on the same return working is at Brocklesby. The only time I've seen 31 on this working and if recorded correctly ?? failure at Grimsby Docks with short notice swap?? For the record 20.185/20.096 Melton Ross 31.553 Brocklesby 11/2/92 Brocklesby both light engine 60.067 James Clerk Maxwell 47.519 Brocklesby on unrecorded date 37.512 on my usual stainless billets 37.003 Pair unidentified 37's 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCJACOB Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 firstly up to my usual tricks and 2 unidentified images. I was working Keelby/Immingham area 2/92 to 7/92 so have feeling they are spring 92. Then back to Barnetby when much more photogenic in my opinion and 17/9/88 to be precise as well Class 101 DMU 47.233 20.092/20.203 suspect the single oil tank may eventually find its way to Cleethorpes for re-fuelling purposes? 37.377 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCJACOB Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 Back to the usual haunts, a few random industrials and something that turned up in the rummaging in the games (daddies toy) room 7/2/92 Brocklesby 60.082 Nam Tor 7/2/92 Brocklesby 60.039 Glastonbury Tor 10/2/92 Brocklesby 47.325 Red Rum 10/2/92 Brocklesby 37.202 10/2/92 Brocklesby 47.287 10/2/92 Brocklesby 60.054 Charles Babbage 5/2/92 Brocklesby 37.069 Thornaby TMD 8/89 Sentinel Shunter New Holland Pier I think, at one point, she ended up at LWR but engine was seized and scrapped 11/89 Conoco Oil Refinery 2 shunters: the front on (a Fowler) ended up at LWR and was working in a reasonably recent timeframe 10/89 rather sad 0-6-0 shunter in J Potts scrap dealers, no I/D and not long for this world. no date and suspect lucky spot when going to the council tip, 37.501 Teeside Steelmaster on the back route to Immingham Finally another random from the rummaging; 1/600 HMS Belfast and matching etched brass detailing bits. Very quickly reminded myself why this was hidden in a cupboard. Unbelievably frustrating/fiddly to try and work with, the photo shows what shambolic state we are in with the hull, the tweezers currently hold a quad gun mount and the bits lying around are actually the plane catapult 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCJACOB Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 A few more from the bottom of the cupboard. Firstly a selection at Brocklesby 4/4/90 37.255 light 37.046 on rolled stainless steel 47.294 37.232 light Next a surprise on way to council skip I think early one Sunday probably. This is the back rail route to Immingham and close to Moody Lane, don't tend to linger long though as fish meal factory is close! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul G Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Been thinking about doing some railway paintings recently. There are some good images of the area here, was wondering if you would object to me using the odd one as a reference picture? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCJACOB Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 Thought I would resurrect this thread. Less than common visitor to Platform 3 Grimsby Town station yesterday.

DOCJACOB Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Out in the man cave aka toy room looking through a book and came across a further few local images from a few years ago. First 4 at usual haunt of Brocklesby 16/9/91 47.348 St Christophers Railway Home 37.507 Hartlepool Pipe Mill (looks like usual stainless steel billets and by now not pairs of 20's 60.027 Joseph Banks 47.040 Halewood towing 37.891 Finally random luck shot of the infrequent Tioxide working with unidentified 47 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Saunders Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 The last one is pleasant to see the Tioxide ilmanite train on the move not one I ever caught up with! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCJACOB Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 I was always fortunate in catching the Ilmenite working. Other images in this site show a 37 on same working being chased round that area of town by yours truly I also managed to get a supervised tour once and images are here too. I recall I was told on the tour deliveries generally occurred on about a 6 weekly frequency and somewhere I have a copy of the works magazine about the site and locomotives Small world as some of the locomotives I saw on that day are now at Ludborough & LWR; I have even helped with an oil change on one of them. Another is currently undergoing some restoration. Looking more closely at the specific image I suspect the train is setting back into the Tioxide site. Virtually next door was Ciba-Geigy plant and the rare Hunslet Yardmaster lived there until its move to LWR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCJACOB Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 Keep thinking I'm done but then random pictures appear between books or in boxes at back of drawers. Bit of a hotch potch and some even historical now: 17/8/89 Pyewipe Box (wonder who has the nice blue enamel sign?) ?/8/89 Oxmarsh Box ?/8/89 Stallingborough Box pretty sure soon after was rebuilt on other side of the crossing and yes it did lean that much ?/6/89 Thornton Abbey Crossing frame ?/6/89 Goxhill Box 14/3/91 Brocklesby 47.217 Kingfisher with 37.890 16.8.90 Melton Ross 47.319 & 47.212 3/8/90 Melton Ross 47.295 3/8/90 Melton Ross 47.321 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCJACOB Posted December 20, 2020 Author Share Posted December 20, 2020 Keep finding things and loath to concede to my wife's opinion that the man cave is a tip and I have little knowledge where things are. Some more from Melton Ross 23/8/90 and the lot after that need vetting as they are either very gloomy or have a distinct purple tinge from processing. Latest 3 are: 47.213 47.299 with 47.212 56.085 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOCJACOB Posted December 20, 2020 Author Share Posted December 20, 2020 Few more from Melton Ross. I suspect I was here around this time as access to platform level at Brocklesby had gone and I was looking for a new regular spot. All taken 6/90 31.304 & 31.273 47.249 I think this working may have originated at Norsk Hydo in Immingham docks? 56.097 37.272 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
