From a glorious autumnal afternoon (10 November 2019) the signal box at Barlby by Selby. Hoping OK to post an image without a train in it.

Looks rather isolated and lonely now that most buildings of the BOCM Works have been demolished.

Agree. Need to go back next time I am up in Yorkshire seeing family. Lots of changes.

I don't have a photo' of No37 in original form, attached shows what she looked like as built. Also included,a model I made forty odd years ago.

Good evening, everyone. Thank you, John, for the photo’ of the signal box, at Barlby, Selby. It’s quite okay to post photo’s without trains if they tell part of the story of the railways of East Yorkshire. And thank you, Mick, for the photo’s you have posted too. It’s great to see the model of number 37 you built all those years ago.

So, onto this evening’s photo’. It’s by Syd Young on Flickr, and shows a rare sight. We are in Botanic Gardens Depot, on the 18th November, 1990. We see a most rare visitor in the form of 37012, newly outshopped in the Dutch Departmental livery, gleaming in the lighting. It is not known, according to the caption, why it was there.

Good evening, everyone. This evening, thanks to Paul Smith, on Flickr, we go to Paragon Station for a night time view of 08745, in the bay platform number 1, on the 18th February, 1986.

 

 

Best regards,

H&BRly G1 tank engines, a batch of twelve, Nos1 to 12. No4 was a one off and almost certainly in Scotland during the Great War recived an extended bunker. No4 was later sold  into industrial use.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone, and many thanks, Mick, for posting those two photo’s of H&BR G1 tanks, numbers 6 and 4.  This evening we stay at Paragon station, and thanks to Philip Wheldale on Flickr, we see 20903, on the Hunslet Barclay weedkilling train. The date given is the 11th July, 1991.

Good evening, everyone. This evening we come to the first of many photo’s by John Turner, on Flickr, with these two dual credited with Peter Brumby. It shows York shed's B16/1, 4-6-0, 61422, in charge of a 'class F' express freight, on it’s way to Hull, passing through Brough station, in c.April, 1960. First a three quarter view, followed by a going away shot.

My first thought was "looks like an LCDR T class", looking it up they were both designed by W Kirtley. Nice looking loco.

Very little difference, in model form, one will pass for the other.

Love the details in this photo, and the wagon porn on offer. I'll also show this to the next person who tells me that goods yards weren't allowed to be overgrown!

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone, and with thanks again to John Turner and Peter Brumby, on Flickr, we go to Paragon station in about July, 1960, and see a class D49/1, Shire, 62717, Banffshire without it’s shedplate. On the left is a Cravens class 105 unit, and on the platform to the right a couple of young spotters. I wonder what has happened to them after all these years?

 

 

Now a second photo’ with same credits, is of the same engine on the same date, but perhaps on a different train, and to the left is a vintage carriage which could be former NER in origin, and in departmental use.

 

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

[micknich2003]

The lack of shed plate suggests 1959 and after the engine's transfer from Botanic to Dairycoates.

Sorry bit late but where is Scotland did No 4 get too during WWI? I was aware of different H&BR locomotive at Dalmore and involved with the mine laying barrage. 

 

Fair to say some interesting foreign locomotives made it to Highland Railway during WW1  

[micknich2003]

I'm told same location as the G3 0-6-0T

[micknich2003]

Here is the G3 No146 when on loan in Scotland. Originaly its number was unknown but ref to a later photo' shows its identity, Note bolt holes in front angle iron and wood grain of buffer beam match.

[DOCJACOB]

Thanks for prompt reply. Interestingly the Friends of the Far North Line website entry on WW1 Dalmore Branch doesn't mention. Same uncropped image is on the website 

 

It does mention G3 No 146, a small 0-4-0 saddle tank and a selection of LBSCR Terriers (specifically 37, 79, 81 and 83)

 

Further digging and IRS book on Scotland doesn't help much either, mentions Dalmore & Invergordon suggests 6 locomotives on site but only details 3 

 

The Adam LSWR radial tank & NER 0-4-4 tanks are well known and photographed

Good evening, everyone. Thank you, Mick, for the photo’s, and the information about the G3 when on loan in Scotland. I knew some NER locomotives were on loan, in Scotland, in WWl, but wasn’t aware of any H&BR locomotives. I’ve learnt something new this evening.

Well, this evening, with thanks again to John Turner and Peter Brumby, on Flickr, we go to Elvington, on the Derwent Valley Light Railway. We see York’s BR built, at Swindon, in 1960, 0-6-0DM, D2158, on hire to the DVLR, on the 15th April, 1964. Well that’s the date in the caption.

 

Best regards,

Good evening, everyone. This evening with thanks to John Turner and Ian Fleming, on Flickr, we go to Hull Paragon station. The date is the 21st July, 1975, and the train is 5L07, a train of vans, and is hauled by 37072. The destination is Leeds.

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

The photos in these two albums include locos which worked in East Yorkshire. They may have been uploaded to this thread, in one form or another, earlier but will have been lost in the platform chaos.

L07 went to York with vans to attach to the Ncl- Red Bank and some forwarded to KGX. L07 could run as a 7L07 when conveying air braked vehicles York works as well.

Notwithstanding the stories about the line being overgrown so that it could not be seen from the air, and my own observations from the 1970s, the track at Elvington looks remarkably tidy - I wonder whether the DVLR ever operated a weedkilling train.
