Good evening, everyone, and thank you, EddieK, for the information about the DMU in Saturday’s photo’. I think the curve to the top of the former four character headcode box should be a clue to the unit being a 118 too. ;)

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Rob, don't rely on the curved top to the headcode box; although all Class 118s had the curve, the first few Class 117 vehicles (numerically) also had curved top headcode boxes.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone, and many thanks, EddieK, for that information about the class 117 and 118 headcode boxes. It’s most useful information. Now, this evening we have two photo’s and they are from two contributors on Flickr.

So to the first photo’, which is by loose_grip_99, on Flickr, of Hull Paragon station, on the 20th July, 1968, and it can seen that the platform canopies were still extant that year, and a class 104 unit is visible in the middle of the photo’.

The second photo’ is by Patrick Welsh, on Flickr, and is of Botantic Gardens depot on the 23rd June, 1984. It shows several class 08 shunters, from the left, 08177, 08392, 08777, and 08391, with just to the right 08296.

Good evening, everyone. This evening, thanks to a photo’ by Mark Evans, on Flickr, we go to Hessle, in October, 1967. We see an unidentified class 37, on a train of 16 ton mineral wagons going down to Hull. Note the signals.

Good evening, everyone. This evening, courtesy of a photo’ by Patrick Welsh on Flickr, we go to Hull Botanic Gardens Depot, on the  4th July, 1984. Two class 08 shunters can be seen 08392 and 08391.

Interesting photo comparing consecutively numbered machines, 392 has no con-rods, and then while both appear to have yellow buffer beams with red buffer shanks, the arrows of indecision are on different panels, and the chevrons are also different.

392 was withdrawn at this time. 391 was last overhauled at Glasgow and 392 was done at Swindon. The yellow buffer beams and red buffer shanks was my addition along with the red rods.

Good evening, everyone, and thank you, Al Taylor, for the information about the two 08’s in yesterday’s photo’. This evening, we go to Gilberdyke, thanks to a photo’ from the KDH archive on Flickr. It shows, on the 26th May, 1981, 47430, opening up, on the 12.05 from London King’s Cross to Hull.
 

Best regards,

Good evening, everyone. This evening, thanks to a photo’ by Syd Young on Flickr, we go to Hull Dairycoates, and watch 37425, Sir Robert McAlpine/Concrete Bob, and 37422, drawing forward the Tilcon roadstone empty wagons, so they can run round them, on the 3rd May, 1991.

Good evening, everyone. This evening we go west, out of Hull, on the mainline, to where it runs along the Hessle foreshore. The photo’ is by Philip Wheldale on Flickr, and we are watching 31127 on an up freight train on the 27th June, 1983.

That looks like a recent spruce up for 47847 at that time.

It had black headcode panels, in 2007 when it was on the back of our train to Holyhead

[Market65]

Good afternoon, everyone. This afternoon we stay at Gilberdyke, and courtesy of another photo’ by Philip Wheldale on Flickr, we watch 37298 on a short freight train, 6D85, from Hull to Doncaster. The date is the 12th March, 1990.

I recall my uncle mentioning these two being towed past his house at Hessle Haven at about this time, heading for the scrap yard.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. This evening, thanks to a further photo’ by Patrick Welsh on Flickr, we go along the mainline, alongside the A63, Clive Sullivan Way, on the 5th June, 1986. Two class 20’s, 20106, and 20186, are leaving Hessle East Junction with a Hull to Leeds Freightliner.

Good evening, everyone, and thank you, Steve, for those photo’s of Hensall. It’s a great selection which you have posted, and show that if you look around you can still find plenty of reminders of how the railway once was.

Now this evening, thanks to another photo’ by Patrick Welsh on Flickr, we go back into Hull. The date is the 11th May, 1986, and we see the last train to run from Hull to Cardiff, and it is worked by 47595, Confederation of British Industry.

I remember around late 1984 the loco that hauled the freightliner started to run into Hull light engine, from where i don't know.  It would pass Hessle Haven at about 16:10hrs.  Previously the booked engine would run off Botanic but this was stopped for some reason; which would usually be the same old TI & HM class 37's.  When the new regime started it would bring in a new variety of loco's PEAKS, 20'S  and 25's on the odd occasion.  

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone, and thank you, RAILWAT COTTAGES, for the memories and information about the Freightliner and the locomotives that hauled it. Now for this evening, thanks to Will’s Transport Photo’s on Flickr, we see no less than four class 20’s in Hull Paragon station on the 14th April, 2013. They are all DRS, and are 20303, 20301, 20302 and 20304. They would, of course, be there in connection with engineering works l

Good afternoon, everyone. This afternoon, courtesy of Syd Young on Flickr, we go to Melton Halt, with Melton Lane signalbox, on the 15th July, 1990. We see 47413, opening up as it races past on train 1A24, the 17.00 from Hull to London King’s Cross.

I did a couple of turns on those engineering trains but didn't get in the station 

[micknich2003]

Ex H&BRly G3 No149, now J75 No2530, seen here at Hull Springhead June 1931. It is said an engine of this class hauled a train of 143 loaded tank wagons from Saltend to King George Dock, probably an exaggeration.   E Bay negative buy, originally the late H Casserly

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone, and thank you, Mick, for that excellent photo’. I like the story of one of that class of engine hauling 143 loaded tank wagons, like you say it must be a bit of an exaggeration.

Well, this evening, thanks to a photo’ by 6Y99, on Flickr, we go to Hull Inward Yard in the summer of 1979. We see an excellent portrait shot of 08099, and in the distance a Shark and some engineering wagons, with the 08 working Botanic Gardens T82 pilot turn.

Would be interesting to see if 6Y99 took anymore photo's of the yard from another angle, as the loco obscures everything.   The BTP were very proactive dealing with trespassers on here back then.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone, and, RAILWAY COTTAGES, I have just finished looking through 6Y99’s photostream on Flickr, and there are no more photo’s of that 08. It must be as you say regarding the BTP being proactive with trespassers back then. 
Well, this evening, we go, thanks to a photo’ by knxorj, on Flickr, of two, two car class 105’s on a train which has just arrived at Hornsea Town station in about 1959. No other details are given, but it’s a delightful view of the station despite being in black and white.
