Willerby (East Yorks)

[Tyke119]

Willerby (East Yorks) c1980 lies on an imaginary Hull to York line running via Hessle North, Walkington, Bishop Burton and the once busy Market Weighton; having joined the Beverley to York line near Kiplingcotes. The Hull and Barnsley line through Willerby has closed some years earlier. 
 

A single line beyond Willerby , it and the Beverley to York line, have survived the Beeching cuts. Whilst there is a sparse DMU service, most go via Beverley, the line serves a quarry and Willerby cement works at Great Gutter Lane. It also provides an alternative route for goods traffic between the yards at Hull and York.
 

Built on two 4’ x 16” baseboards + 3’ 6” fiddle yard. The track work is in place, most of it ballasted. A low relief factory backscene , platform and road bridges are also in place.

The scratch building in card of the Station Building, Signal Box and Goods. The coal office has been completed 

The oriental blue door and tangerine enamel sign places the layout in BR(NE) territory.

Whilst the signal box is progressing, diagonal platform fencing has been erected courtesy of Slaters.

And the loading bay yard now has a cobblestone surface laid by Metcalfe & Co; just waiting for a llittle weathering and some weeds

The Signal Box Is finished and looks at home sat between the down line  and the coal siding. 

Based on Cottingham South on the Hull to Beverley line, it is reduced in length to suit the location 

 

 

 

The view from York Lane bridge

 

And towards York Lane. The Engineering Dept. have blocked the line with track and cork underlay for the fiddle yard! 
 

Station Building next

The station building was completed yesterday, just in time to catch the evening

 

 
Based on photographs of Stamford Bridge railway station and inspired by Peter Goss’s Etton (Railway Modeller November 2001)

The inspiration for the Signal Box came from drawings of Cottingham South by PA Brown (Railway Modeller June 1973! )

 

 

 

Next; the Goods Warehouses

[Tyke119]

The low relief Goods Warehouses were completed this morning. Based on the buildings that once stood close to Beverley station on the Hull to Scarborough  line. There are  similar warehouses at Driffield and Bridlington. 

 

 

Thank you to Peter Goss for the drawings (Railway Modeller March 2002)

This thread really takes me back! Great Gutter Lane!! I lived at Melton, in the old Capper Pass works houses at Melton Fields. Great Gutter Lane was used almost daily.

This is shaping up nicely, both on and off track. Local area to me too!

A little groundwork has been carried out at Willerby;

 

BOCM, having purchased the good warehouses for the distribution of animal feed, have completed the base work, before they concrete around the warehouse siding. 

And Metcalfe & Co have laid cobblestones alongside the coal siding, ready for some coal bins and a yard light. 

A couple of 16t wagons have been left in the coal siding.

Three Hornby PCA wagons have arrived in the exchange sidings to supplement a dozen Presflo wagons

...waiting for the cement works shunter.

 

The wagons now have Railtec transfers, Wizard Models brake wheels and coupling hooks. The large Hornby tension lock couplings have been replaced with Bachmann NEM couplings.

At least yours are still on the rails.

... ah most of the time! I’ve added weights and NEM coupling help.

A class 08 has made the short trip from the inward yard at Hessle with fuel supplies for the cement works. 

 

The TTA wagons are from Bachmann with added Railtec hazchem signs and thinned Humbrol rail dirt paint allowed to run down the sides. 

The class  08 shunter, with faded paintwork, is a Bachmann collectors club limited edition from 2003. 
 

Next up, Parcels. And for the time being  that should be enough engineering and goods wagons for he Willerby area.

The LNER concrete hut from Ten Commandments fits in nicely

With a little filing and scribing the position of the door has been moved. A little weathering, add some weeds and clutter , the concrete hut will make a nice addition to the layout

I like Dave's Ten Commandments stuff but had you considered this?

I've got a spare one left over from Rectory Farm Sidings. If you want it, drop me your snail mail address and I'll bung it in the post.

Good morning Steve. Spotted the LNER concrete hut on Rectory Farm Siding and looks a nice product. Thank you so much for your kind offer. I’m  happy with the smaller (medium) Ten Commandments hut ; it fits nicely against the brick wall, without dominating the front of the layout. 

Have a good weekend

A Class 31 with a short parcels train from Hull makes its way through Willerby, ...

 

... made up of two GR Wrenn SPVs from the 1970s and two very new Bachmann CCTs.

And on its way towards York.

 

Next ; the brake vans

[Tyke119]

The brake vans;

In the foreground two Bachmann early versions, CAP and a repainted ZTO. 
 

And two later versions, CAO and a limited edition CAR from Modelzone.  

 

Next, motive power 

[Tyke119]

With the layout tucked away in the garage and it’s too cold in there, I’m taking the opportunity to do a little research and re-number the locomotives. Starting with three shunters allocated to Hull Botanic Gardens. 
 

03 212, 08 248 and 08 567 will  be making the short trip to Willerby, occasionally stabled in the sidings, they will help out at the cement works and with the BOCM siding. 

next ; a couple of class 20 s
