I always like locos with consecutive numbers.

I remember seeing Jubilee 45678 De Robeck as a 14 year old, and getting ribbed by the others because I thought it special.

Those, and one-offs like 60113, 60700, 71000, D0280/1200, 05001 etc.

I know what you mean about number sequences. 

 

I have a fondness for Class 08 248 which I believe was a Hull based loco.

Evening Rob,  think that maybe earlier than 66 as it's mint condition almost 

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone.  Firstly, russ p, thank you for your comment, unfortunately I only have the information as given, in the caption, by John Turner. I’m sure your right, and yesterday’s photo’ was taken earlier than 1966. 

 

This evening, thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, we see Dairycoates allocated WD, Austerity, 2-8-0, 90016, running onto its home depot in about 1966.

Good evening, everyone. This evening, thanks to John , on Flickr, we see Austerity, 2-8-0, 90677, at Dairycoates, in about 1966. The caption goes on to suggest that the B1 behind the WD is thought to be 61032.

 

Best regards,

A recent E Bay buy. 68011 somewhere in Hull, almost certainly east of the river and I'm sure the gas holder is that of the East Hull Gas Co and not Bankside. The engieering premises left of picture should finalise the exact location. there is point rodding and signal wires at bottom of picture, so close to a signalbox, Dansom Lane being a possible candidate. Thanks, Mick.

Maybe it's me, but these John Turner pictures you've been putting up of WDs seem to have a way of making them look almost elegant!

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, thank you, Mick, for that excellent photo’ of 68011.
 

This evening, thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, we see a sad sight of BR Standard 9F, 2-10-0, 92135, built Crewe 06/1957, in the queue of locomotives waiting to be scrapped by Albert Draper & Son Ltd, at its Neptune Street, Hull facility, on the 18th March, 1968. The tank locomotives behind 92135 are 42093 & 42252.

 

Best regards,

Good afternoon, everyone. This evening, courtesy of John Turner, on Flickr, we see WD, Austerity, 2-8-0, 90627, of 50B, as it shunts the sidings above Hedon Road and near Alexandra Docks, whilst working J10 pilot duties, in c1966.

I I have since learnt though sold as Hull, the location is actually Darlington.

[JeffP]

The J94's weren't that common around here in the late 50's, early 60's.

Doncaster had a few, Immingham had some, I don't remember them ever being at Frodingham, but Darlington had a good few and used them as works shunters too.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, don’t worry about that photo’ of 68011 being actually in Darlington, Mick. It is still a superb view of the locomotive.
 

This evening, courtesy of John Turner, on Flickr, we see Thompson B1, 4-6-0, 61289, of 50B, as it basks in the winter sunshine at its home depot, c.1966.

My uncles, Signalman George Oxendale and Fireman g g Craggs CIRCA 1963-64; in the back garden at Hessle Haven , number 1 Railway Cottages.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. Thank you, Mick, for the photo’ of 62750, at Dairycoates in 1950. That’s an excellent photo’. And thank you, RAILWAY COTTAGES, for posting those photo’s of your uncles.

 

Now, this evening, we see, thanks once more to John Turner, on Flickr, four  "Paxman", TOPS Class 14, 0-6-0DH locomotives, on arrival at Dairycoates behind D6738, in about December, 1966. The locomotives (right to left) are D9503, D9504, D9505, and D9516.

 

Best regards,

The unique covered footbridge at Beverley is no more.   Photo courtesy of Alan Wolstencroft

I put the possession on for that on Wednesday night, next time I'm in I'll take a photo of the register for posterity, it was really unusual as the T3 ran from Hunmanby all the way to Beverley.  We quite often get them running Seamer to Brid or occasionally to Driffield but its quite rare to see one that long done across multiple boxes (ROCs don't count in this case) they've been doing vegetation clearance Speeton to Hunmanby and I think track work round Brid, possibly in preparation for a big blockade planned next year.

Today's E Bay win, ex H&BRly Class G1 in industrial use.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, thank you, Mick, for the excellent photos you have posted. Again, they add so much to this thread, and please post more when you can.

That’s a sad sight of Beverley station with the footbridge now without it’s roof. I took some photo’s myself, earlier on today, but they are not as clear as that one, AttusLeBeard, so thank you for posting it.

 

And, Boris, I wonder what the big blockade is about next year - I thought all the trackwork was complete at Bridlington.

 

Now, this evening, thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, we see WD, Austerity, 2-8-0, 90352, pictured under the coaling stage at its home depot in Hull, in circa 1966.
 

Best regards,
