andyram Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 This line received a similar hatchet job.. If only it was still there. october2008 316.JPG And very little of the terminus now remains. A signal and a coal hut in Hunstanton I believe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted April 23, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 23, 2014 Work is coming on nicely. Mention was made of requiring a hydraulic bufferstop at Whitby and potential "realignment" of the Co-ops wall at the back of the new platform. Will be great getting 5 trains a day to/from WHitby and no more top and tailing with steam/diesel as in today. New Gresley 3rd in service today which looked beautiful as did the Black 5s. Strange seeing Bittern being used as a reach wagon to move the Std 5 in the shed though... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peak experience Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 fantastic work and a credit to the NYMR crew. it's such a pity that the old shed is on the network rail side of the running lines. it could have made a great museum/loco shed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted May 1, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 1, 2014 Had another walk round with my camera tonight and being a bit later I arrived at Bog Hall just as the NYMR train was arriving. I'll let you guess who this reprobate is... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

s182ggu Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Worsdell / Boris Is there any further update news on this topic, please? Would be interested to see any further pictures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 There's not really that much to say, they're doing exciting stuff like running cables and building platform faces, I can take photos if you like but tbh one cable trunk looks much like another, ditto for a platform face.

s182ggu Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Thanks for the update, Boris. Maybe we should start a thread about differing forms of cable trunking? Any further news on likely completion and commencement of services? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Storey Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Many thanks for this thread. I used to live at Pickering in the 90's and did some volunteering for the NYMR, but paid job pressures cut that to very little (Philip Benham, now GM NYMR, was my boss in BR for part of that time - poor so-and-so....). Expansion such as this and the new roof at Pickering were but pipe dreams then - the new C&W shed at Pickering was our ambition at that time. Well done to all for getting so far with this, it is really fantastic to see it happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevo6791 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Some pics I took about 7 hours ago Here's a shot showing where they have laid concrete to start building at the other end of the platform which is opposite the old Engine shed, itll be a nice long platform when its done. This shows the section of the wall they are waiting for the Co-op to authorise moving, (I counted 25 brick panels from a sprayed on mark on the wall which i assume is as far as they can build the platform to, which is were the blue sign on the wall is on the left of the image, so I'd guess the wall needs moving from there to the panel with the smaller black square painted on it.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted June 4, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 4, 2014 Combine the position of that shiny new stop block with some of the less practical ideas of what 'defensive driving' means and I reckon the train sill come to a stand somewhere on the far side of the Co-op And all the engines working them will be double headed.

stevo6791 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Just like to say this forum even though I'm not a current railway modeller, is the only friendly place I've found which has a thread about the ongoing work at Whitby, one forum was the complete opposite of this one (that feeling when you walk into a local country pub and everyone turns to look at you as if you're a fart in a spacesuit...lol) and I was out of there like a flash. I used to be a railway modeller some 20 years ago, I'm now more of a 3d modeller and have built Whitby station as it was circa 1900 with its roof on. It's hard to find somewhere where people are interested in both Railways and 3dmodelling. If anyone would like to see some images of it let me know via private message.... :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
